looks fine to me

I hope you're the only one who things that, I can't seem to find an interesting hand anymore. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[spamuell]

I'm not folding either of these heads-up, and there's no way that I'm not betting every time that you did.

[Alobar]

did you add the second hand later? or am I hallucinating?

On the second hand I 'might' check the river. He cold called pre flop and has just been passively calling, and the board has some draws, I might check. Unless he is the type of opponent who will call with ace high, then i think better is good

Hand #1

Interesting little river raise. I'd definitely do as you do, but wouldn't be surprised to see a hand like A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

Hand #2

This one is also interesting because I'd like to know what button is cold-calling preflop on the button and able to raise the river on. I guess wouldn't be surprised to see a delayed AQ raise in this spot. It's hard for me to think of a hand with a 4 in it. It's totally possible he's bluff-raising here. Yup, definitely call and look him up.

Let us know the results.

Heh no I added it in.

FWIW the results are why I think the hands are interesting.

[sthief09]

2 not-so-scary river "scare" cards and 2 not-so-scary raises. standard

[kgrad5]

i have a feeling in hand 1 mp3 had you the whole way and thought if he raised he would lose you and made more money letting you bet for him.. dont see how else you could have played it though, same with hand 2.

You have to post them now.

EDIT: Edited to add, it's about 4am in the UK and there's no reason that you would be up. Why the [censored] am I up?

I am an insomniac, whats your excuse?

[Tosh]

Hand 1 I was shown Qx /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and hand 2 AJo. I am interested to know if this is an increasing trait on Party. I certainly saw no reason to respect the river raises though.

[spamuell]

I am an insomniac, whats your excuse?

I have none. I don't know the results though, what's your excuse?

EDIT: Damn, you posted the results by the time I posted this, I am so slow, I must go to bed. Also, yeah I've noticed people waiting to the river fairly frequently at 2/4.

Well, we're still talking about river raises. Seriously, if Colchester wasn't in the middle of nowhere, I'd come round there and relevant you.

Yes, it's now 4.20am and that is my peak. I'm going to bed.
