What do you think of this hand, that happened between two professional high-stakes poker players a couple of years ago? I mean, common, a jack-high call! This is suspicious as hell. Below is the hand in question and some crucial information (in the Youtube video)

Youtube Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDk5n7_BHh0

Have you ever made a similar call in a poker game?  Grin
The fact that she gave back her winnings, kind of indicates her fear of getting caught if this goes viral, which happened anyway  Grin.
I need to watch the whole tournament before making any comments on whether the girl really cheated. But by just watching that clip from the video I can say this kind of situation happens all the time. I mean, Yes I’ve done this many times when the flop shows two cards of the same suit and I have at least one matching suit in my hand, especially if it’s something like JQK same suit, I’ll definitely call or raise.

Considering the girl is a rookie (as mentioned in the video) and the stakeshigh, if I were at that table and only had 8 and 7 same suit, I would probably fold too if she raised.

Bro, what are you talking about?  Grin The guy went allin with a semi bluff (87 for a straight flush draw) on the turn after she min raised and she called with J4 high, no pair no draw no nothing. So you are talking about totally different things here. It's not even REMOTELY close to how you play. This situation NEVER happens, and I mean never.
By the way, she is NOT a rookie, she has played those games and limits before.

Also, it's not a tournament, it's cash game.  Wink
Oh my bad. I thought the girl raised and the guy fold.

So yeah, I guess this is totally strange knowing what actually happened. But at the same time it's partly his fault too because he went all-in assuming the girl would fold for his raise or that he might somehow win the hand. He will never loss if he never raise with just a high card in semiflop.

Still, yeah… it's definitely suspicious. Girl had nothing just high card and she called. Shit happens.
