Re: I am the best NL player at.....
 

Hand 1 it's easy to not lose more because the guy played his KK like a bitch, and what hands minraise the river that I beat, I doubt AK does this, I've played with the player enough that the only hands I could see him do thsi with are AA/KK so still felt like I had to call, but I just "knew" he had KK. meh.

Hand 2 - I just have trip jacks, he could have anything so that's why I didn't lose so much. Sometimes the games play so tight that when I'm button I raise with any 2 cards, if he is doing the same thing on that board then you don't eactly want to commit with that hand...

I feel like this a lot too, but keep in mind that if the roles are reversed you win more than these guys will with the same hands.

Re: I am the best NL player at.....
 

I'm not saying anything about the rivers, or really even hand 2. I think both rivers are good. But in the first hand you flop a set with a flush draw on the board and no money goes in. Usually I would lose a lot more in the hand because it wouldn't get checked around on the flop. That's all I'm saying.

Re: I am the best NL player at.....
 

Yeah again, it's weird, I play live and online. When I play live, I lead into raisers with sets because I know they will not let go of AA/KK. But online, I find myself check-raising sets and equal amount of the time as leading when the pot is multiway and there is a potential draw. In this hand, I was fully expecting to check-raise this flop to eliminated the 3rd player and hopefully stack the raiser.

I bet 40, villain minraises. I'm about 70% sure he has KK and I call anyway.

If you are only 70% sure you are beat, then you are supposed to call.
