I will never understand how I'm not profitable at Party Poker. Well, it's because a bad beat always sends me on tilt. Not this hand. I merely laughed. Also made me feel better knowing I was beat anyways, but the winner of this hand I WILL be following around...

actually, i should ask you. is capping the flop the correct play? how about raising the turn. i was fairly sure i was beat, but i decided to be aggressive with tptk.

[jacki]

I think capping the flop might be OK, but when he bets into me on the turn I go into calldown mode.

[kyro]

yeah, i haven't quite figured out how to be aggressive but not stupid. i knew i was beat by the turn bet...i'm not sure why i raised. dumb.
