A fun hand

I don't see the point in posting hand histories any more, but this one was interesting.

Back story. SPT Slick is an uber-lag. I'd already caught him for one stack and I wanted the rest of his money.

Holy crap, Pete, that's some fluke hand! Presumable SPT just figured there was one seven, not two, lurking in the hole and that he was betting against 7s over 4s - but did you make the same assumption?

Indeed I did, at the time, although in retrospect it's hard to see how the guy would have played the hand the way he did with, say, 78s. Looked at with hindsight, one is nearly compelled to follow the Holmes dictum that, once all of the thing which are impossible are eliminated, one has to accept that the last option, however improbable, is the truth. But, at the time, I just thought that he had 'got lucky' with 78 (although, of course, this would have turned out to be unlucky).
