So remember me being all passive this weekend with JJ? Not a problem tonight. Now I need someone to make sure I haven't pulled a 180 and started LAGging it up.

------------------------------------------

Hand 1: Anyone like the flop 3-bet? On the turn the huge pot gives good FH odds. Fold the river for one bet?

Hand 1: I call his flop raise and check/fold the turn. Looks like Ax to me.

Hand 2: I'm tempted to take the free showdown although I probably would bet here as well. Did he raise behind you?

On hand 1, I figure a raise could also be coming from another pocket pair, not just Ax or a 9. Might be too LAG, which is why I posted. After the flop cap I've got to give him credit for at least an A, which makes the river call pretty bad.

I'll post the rest of the action on hand 2 (and 1) in a bit; I'd like to see if I can collect a few more comments before I skew the thread with results.

A good morning *bump*.

#1, I call the raise and fold the turn UI. Too many players, and this isn't that great of a flop for my hand against 4 opponents.

#2, I often check behind on the river, unless I know my opponent would lead the flop with something like Ah 9d specifically (mid pair, nut flush draw). The bet is good here against that sort of opponent, but probably marginal HU against most loose-passives.
