Man down.

What does everyone think of the preflop flat call of BBuddy's final raise? If it were likely to be head's up I would endorse it wholeheartedly.

[creedofhubris]

If you reraise to $1000 preflop, then postflop play becomes simple: push. Bit of a superman move though. I see plenty of merits for a flat call.

What was your reasoning behind the flop check?

If you don't mind me asking, what's your stars name?

[Ulysses]

What mode was BBuddy in? Reraising BBuddy preflop is usually better here.

[Blackjack]

You're getting into a lot of trouble with Overpairs Mister!

Again, smells a lot like AA. Loosey goosey players who can switch gears do get AA too!

Woahhhh sweet child of mine

Ugh. What are you ahead of? I guess I have no idea how these players are playing though.

[Lawrence Ng]

Push pre-flop for me is the way I go.

As for the turn, I'm calling as well. I smell A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] here. If I'm wrong..so be it.

I don't know... You're either way ahead or way behind. Villain checked to you twice, and then pops it all in, roughly 2.5/3 times the pot...? I think he would have bet his Aces, or A/Q on the flop... Why wouldn't he bet K/10 on the turn, if not the flop? Q/10 looking for improvement is possible but why would he bet preflop with that?
I've got to put my money on him semi-bluffing pocket tens. Here's my logic. He was out flopped by two cards and checks his open ended looking for a freebe. When you didn't bet the flop, he read A/K and thinks you're stabbing the pot here and will let go of your over cards. If you have him beat with a q, he's still got 10 theoretical outs. I think the huge reraise is for if you're ahead with a j, you may lay it down, and he still has previously mentioned outs.
Interesting hand. Hope you won it.
