Dale is a tight player, he folds flush draws if he's priced out, doesn't get married to hands like AK, he is far from a donk, but he's more than capable of bluffing. Got no proper stats on him, I don't keep a record of our games.

As for trying to get a read, Dale is difficult. I often pass a spliff over, you wouldn't believe how many times I've got a solid read thanks to the way he takes it off me! On this occasion, I was rolling one, so no hope here. I ask him if he wants to bust out first hand. Nothing. I show Mike my hand, and say to him "Wanna see something sick?" and I muck. Mike thinks I'm an idiot.

Dale flips over KK and I'm a happy bunny.

Now, I know I've broken protocol by telling you the result, but it was obvious I folded, or I'd have posted the flop, wouldn't I?

I know on this occasion it was the right fold, but should I be calling? Is this a nitty fold?
