These are the three hands that I was unsure of and, like I said, only one held up. Let me know what went wrong (or right for that matter) because I was unsure of these hands for the rest of the night.

Thoughts appreicated. Thanks. Results posted later.

I think you know the answers yourself...

Hand 1:
Preflop: easy fold.
Flop: getting 12 to 1 I don't think calling is terrible especially because you have As.
Turn: Good raise, big pot and you want it /images/graemlins/grin.gif, BB check-raises oops...
River: Only an 8, TT or AA beat you. I would bet this one.

Now you know why you have to fold this hand /images/graemlins/grin.gif, you get into trouble.

Hand 2:
I muck this... wait for a better hand to defend your blind. You played it fine on the flop and turn. Depending on the player I might check-call the river. Most of the time this is a value bet.

Hand 3:
Bet the damm flop, don't let the draws see the turn for free. Good turn bet. I check-call the river.

Hand 1 was a split pot or you won. Hand 2 might be a bluff from the CO but I think you lost. Hard to win hand 3 when you fold /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hand #1: EP2 shows AA for the full house ( AAA88); BB shows J8o for quad 8's


Hand #2: CO shows AKs for the bluff


Hand #3: My friends around the table claimed MP1 showed Q4o /images/graemlins/confused.gif. Not sure what he was thinking but I guess it worked...?
