The clothes, DVDs and chocolate were good and all but this was my favourite gift...

nice one, but i think you played it fine. in retrospect you probably could have capped the flop, but who knew that they all had big hands?

Must have been a great table. Some calling a 3 bet from the BB with t7? Not sure JJ was thinking either.

I pretty much as a rule never put anyone on quads in limit hold em. that's not going to happen until I start playing in tough 100-200 games and higher--ie, never.

what if you are heads-up and there are unlimited raises (as in some casinos) and your opponent keeps raising you? you have to succeed at some point

[Macdaddy Warsaw]

It's concede, and it's when you run out of money.
