I like it, you have to 3-bet the river since button might have something like QJ or AQ (unlikely), Q9 or slowplayed 44 or 66 (doubt qq or jj because no PFR)

What about check-raising the turn? Good idea or bad idea?

I'd raise pre-flop but looks good otherwise.

Would you raise because of the the two LP posters or would you always raise here?

I normally raise in this spot, posters or not. There was a thread the other day about posters and whether they make you more likely to raise light or less likely. Both sides made sense to me at the time.

I would also raise here normally, but posters make me more inclined to bet (if they fold, then good, if they call then they are more likely to have crappy hands...get money in the pot while you are a favorite).

Re: 3 EP 99 hands from tonight

Thanks for posting some of your hands. It is very helpful to see how you played them.

Raise PF. The rest is standard. Sucks that button has K10.

When he raised the river I thought he had something like Q6, but when he 4-bet it, the first hand that came to my mind was KT. I couldn't believe he called the whole way with it, but then he turned over T8. I didn't even see it.

T8 makes more sense. My hand reading skills suck right now. Time to go to bed.

Eh, with a poster I would almost always raise this hand. Letting them see the flop cheap is never a good idea. After that I play the hand the same. I'm willing to bet the button will show you QJ alot more often than he'll show you K10.
