Now that you're here I raise and cap if necessary.

I am of the opinion that I should raise and call a 3-bet.

Sounds about right.

Unless it's a very quiet table I am going to avoid a heads up with a loose player.

With position, this is exactly what you want.

OK Rob I am coming around to the fact that I have made a tool of myself here. Just come off a tough couple of hours and I guess I am feeling like avoiding the confrontations which have haunted me today. It's why I stopped playing just now!

You are, of course, correct.

Evain.

You don't sound like a tool, you just sound a little weak-tight.

Don't fear bad players. Don't fear good players. The worst thing that can happen isn't gonna happen very often.

When he 3 bets I think you are beat too often to cap, we're probably looking at AA/99.

ok, I lied again. I rivered quads and got berated for the next 5 minutes by the guy with KK.

Tell him his father was a hamster and his mother smelt of elderberry.

Actually, I've started to take the ElDiablo line of spouting nonsense:

If I river somebody and they complain, I say: "I flopped it!" "I had it the whole way." "You were losing on the flop." I'll say anything as long as it's not true.

Here, I just shut up though cause someone else started defending me for no reason.
