Hey im on that table, so it was AK? hahah i like the line.

[xorbie]

Ugh. So you so that monster pot with K8s vs JQs?

I'm sooooo angry. I had 44 and would have taken down a $200 pot with my flopped set. Almost enough to set a man on tilt.

[DMACM]

Actually im on 5 tables cascaded with 99% overlap so im missing a lot of the action. Saw the table chat about it though. Lots of crazy players out tonight or is 50NL always this bad?

[DMACM]

see that AA vs my KK? oh well ive got some studying to do GL.

It's usually a lot more sane. This was the hand:

How often do you lay down sets? I can never bring myself too. I know this is results oriented but I'd have had a hard time laying that down i think. I tripled up on another table earlier with 555 bottom set vs KT 2nd pair and AJ high pair J kicker. There were no draws my opponents were practically drawing dead vs me. Also I think I misplayed those kings now that im thinking about it did u see the hand?

[xorbie]

Yeah I looked through the HH. It's really tough to lay down KK preflop at this level, and almost always a mistake. Of course seeing a flop in this case would have helped you get away from the hand, but that's being results oriented. What if you let him see a cheap flop with AT?

[DMACM]

Ya I agree I put him on higher than AT but I catch your drift. I think maybe I shouldve called with such deep stacks but I guess thats as you say results oriented. Did you notice I announced it was my last hand? It was my last hand but I think maybe I tricked myself into believing he had fallen for my little trick.

[dibbs]

I like. While you run the risk of not knowing this guys raising standards and running right into a fool with AJ, I expect you to take this down a great deal of the time. For all he knows you are the gamblin guy who sits down, calls because you are already invested, then you flop trips. Looks good.

[FreakDaddy]

Seems solid to me. It's hard to play these hands with no reads. Your steal attempt is very solid here. If it wasn't raised you'd only need to bet about 1/2 the pot to win this 70% of the time. With a raised pot 2/3 bet is fine.
