Re: Hand that knocked me out #1
"My thinking at the time was that he had overcards and would lay down his hand. I had played very few hands and thought that a tight table image might increase the likelihood of a laydown, and that I was likely ahead if I had to play it out. As it turned out, I might have had more success by just calling and making a strong bet after the flop."
I think this is in general the best way to play small pockets versus two overcards. He will miss 70% of the time, after which you can take the pot.
Bye the way, what would you do here with AJ?
