Perhaps a Well-Chosen Analogy Would Help?

David Sklansky, from Event No. 47
David Sklansky was just involved in a hand in which he was heads up against an opponent when the flop came a beastly 6-6-6.

Sklansky's opponent bet 600, to which Sklansky responded "That's an appropriate bet."

"What?" asked the opponent. "600, that's an appropriate bet," repeated Sklansky, indicating the sixes on board. (He did not add "Do you see why?")

"What?"

Several at the table then chimed in try to to help explain why the bet was appropriate.

Sklansky called the bet, then folded to a turn bet. He currently has 16,500.
