Nothing useful. I know I should pay more attention while I play, but I was 4 tabling and watching "Troy" on TV.

I push at $22.

I would generally lay this down unless i have any reads which i usually don't. I don't think he is reraising alot of hands you beat here.

[splashpot]

So 1 says push and 1 says fold. Anyone else?

[splashpot]

Are my hands so uninteresting that no one who reads them wants to respond?

1 hour 56 minutes on the quietest 2+2 day of the week.

They're so interesting that no one knows what the right play is.

Being the weak tightie I am I probably fold here and wait for a better spot to get my chips in.

It's gotten quite a few views in those 2 hours. I guess a lot of people like to read posts but not comment on them? Or maybe they don't know the answer? I'm genuinely curious. And it's not just this post, but some of my others as well. But most likely it's just that I'm so friggin impatient.

[lorinda]

I sometimes read a lot of posts and go back later, sometimes I answer straight away, sometimes I'll read one and just not be interested.

In this instance, I think the answer to your question is "Play poker" which means "Use your wits and knowledge of the other players to determine whether you should call or not"

I'm guessing this is why there are not many replies.

If I suddenly found myself in your seat in this exact position I guess I would probably push and assume that if I'm behind that 2 pair would normally win it for me. I do think though that applying this advice would be incorrect in a large enough percentage of hands to make the advice pretty much useless.

Thanks. Hope I didn't sound like a whiney little puss with something stuck up my ass earlier. Usually the only time I read a hand and don't post a reply is if I don't know the answer or my repsonse has already been posted by someone else.

You sounded fine, I'm just not mincing words today /images/graemlins/blush.gif
