Get the The Mcleod mug.An advanced poker tactic.
A type of bluff predicated on the history of your opponent offering to soft-play hands with familiar opponents; the assumption being that future soft-play will be mutually enjoyed (ie: he likes to cheat).
This advanced maneuver fakes a soft-play situation, suggesting that the opponent should "save his money", thereby getting the opponent to fold a superior hand.
For background reference, please search the superb articles written by Mike Caro (rhymes with arrow) on poker1.com regarding all poker players’ obligation to follow the rules of poker:
- “The Horrible Reality of Poker Partnerships”
- “Why it’s wrong to soft-play friends at poker”
- “My personal poker code of ethics: poker cheats should be boiled and eaten”

First, a “scare card” situation must come up. In no-limit Texas Hold’Em, one such scenario is the middle rank card on the flop pairing on the turn. The following actions/dialogue depicts how The McLeod Maneuver could possibly play out after the “scare card”:
Dave Z: Bet $25
Todd M: Raise to $50
Dave Z: “You’re kidding me!!”
Todd M: Blank Stare
Dave Z: “Are you serious?”
Todd M: “Save your money” (The exact phrase should mimic the opponent’s historical invitation to offer soft-play in exchange for future soft-play)
Dave Z: “You have me beat? I’ve got a really good hand”
Todd M: “Save your money” (note repetition of implied offer)
Dave Z: “Will you show me if I fold?”
At this point, a super advanced tactics may have to be used (Reference: The Full McLeod), or simply repeating the mantra of implied future soft-play might be enough to get the cheating opponent to fold what may be a superior hand.

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.

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.

Get the The Full McLeod mug.The one who started the UTampa cough and never looked back from there. The diseased pedophilic honorable gentlemen was once the greatest pong player of all time, but now he lies there in the dungeon. He can be compared to a nice knife, always sharp, always reliable. He once won 59 pong games in a row, only to lose the next 69 in a row. Perhaps there is a deeper meaning behind this, is Macleod afraid of the number 69? Is he a homosexual? So many questions yet so little answers. Campus security has found none of said answers. The vaughn study room suffered that night in a great act of defiance against the higher administration of this bum ass school. Unfortunate yet passionate. Such an intriguing story, but that is for a different time.
Yo wanna go up to the 7th floor bro?
No dude, have you not heard?
Heard what?
*cough cough*
The legend of Paul Macleod.
