The Full McLeod

A super advanced poker tactic.

This is an extension of the advanced poker tactic known as The McLeod Maneuver. Please recall that The McLeod Maneuver is designed to take advantage of the predisposition of your opponent to offer soft-play in exchange for future soft-play (IE: Your opponent historically cheats at poker).

The extension entails agreeing to show your opponent your cards once he has folded his hand. You can follow through with that promise or renege. Either option is fine and equally effective.

This extension will effectively eliminate the future effectiveness of The McLeod Maneuver on the victim. However the “Tilt Factor” inflicted upon the recipient can be significant and may well be worth the cost.

For background reference, please read article written by Mike Caro (rhymes with arrow) on poker1.com about poker players’ obligation to follow the rules of poker: “Why it’s wrong to soft-play friends at poker”

After bringing The McLeod Maneuver to the brink, it may be necessary to add the promise of showing your opponent your cards after he folds. The following actions/dialogue depict how The Full McLeod could play out:

Dave Z: “Will you show me if I fold?”
Todd M: “Save your money”
Dave Z: “So you’ll show me?”
Todd M: “OK”
Dave Z: Folds hand
Todd M: Shows hand
Dave Z: “What the fuck?? I had that beat. That is an asshole play”
Todd M: “What do you mean?”
Dave Z: “That is an asshole play buddy!! I can’t believe you did that. That is an asshole play!!”
I could feel that Dave was not going to fall for the simple McLeod Maneuver, so I quickly tagged on The Full McLeod, and he folded to my bluff.... as expected.

Full Williams

It is often used to describe something that is done to the greatest extent possible. For example, someone who has gone "Full Williams" in training is pushing their body into working out to the highest level of intensity. It can also be used to describe someone who is intensely committed to a new hobby or interest. Someone may be described as Full Williams if having walked into a camera shop, with the intention of buying a new compact camera for family snaps, they subsequently leave with a top of the range SLR setup, complete with an array of Lenses, Filters, lights, reflectors, and associated paraphernalia.
