2-5 no-limit, at about 1:30 am. We are 8 at the table, and from the accents, I can tell that only 1 is American. To say that the game is "wild" is the biggest understatement since General...

If he had 44 or 55, the turn doesn't go check-check...and you don't get the crying call on the river. It's also debatable that he checks back on the turn with AK...given his "aggressive" nature. He...
