GlemZurg
09-16-2004, 02:22 AM
I'm trying to find a balance between aggressive raising and not diving headlong into a strong hand.
I didn't like my kicker so when I was called on the flop I backed off.
I don't like that I just called the turn and river. But I was undecided as to whether the flop call was a weaker pair or a top-pair with a better kicker or something stronger.
I was going to fold on the river but hitting the J made me think It was worth a call.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
