I'm just as interested in your original pf raise, care to explain it?

[pergesu]

You wouldn't raise there? Passes to him in LP, and he's got a way above average hand...seems like an easy raise to me. Then I fold after all that action.

You really think an incredibly standard MP open raise with a mid pocket pair is as interesting as what transpired in the rest of the hand?

He raised me with Jack high! Jack high!! With the Jack on the board!!!

This is incredibly standard? I'm definitly raising it a couple of positions later, but with 5 people left to act raising 10s can make a really strong hand a very tough hand to play when the button calls. I just often feel uncomfortable raising a hand that one of the many gigabet fanboys can push me off of 80%+ of the time if they're feeling aggressive today. Then again, I'm not sure if I want to start another "hooks UTG" debate.

This is turning out better than when that Phil Van Sexton guy posted about pushing trash into limpers. Anyone remember that?

[Freudian]

Q3 is the new AK.

[johnd13]

First in the pot, a standard raise...why not?

Yeah, I'm only 3 off the button, and 1 of those players hardly has any chips.

I'm not too thrilled about the fold. If the big stack wasn't still behind me, I definately call.
