Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

I might have folded if he was from Vegas or London or some other generic-sounding city name. But since he's from some random Scandinavian country (I think so?), I continued.

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

Apart from his name, do we have any non-ridiculous reads?

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

Nope.

I obviously sound ignorant and bigoted. I'm well aware.

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

renseselaer is a college isn't it?

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

It's in Hartford. Which is what makes it funny [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Still though, who calls down after the turn checkraise? And who bets a rag river if checked to?

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

I don't fold this very often. Villain can check-raise with worse aces.

Edit: Inserted a verb.

Even though I don't disagree with your play I think doing so based upon one's location-or at least where you think his location is-is not a good idea at all.

OT-why the hell aren't you out tonight?

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

Because I don't go out. Nobody in my dorm is the partier type, and I don't get drunk. /shrug

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

There is no chance I fold this at 1/2 absent some great read other than he is from Rensselaer.

Re: Rensselaer? Okay I call...
 

Rensselear isacity across the river from Albany NY. There is also a college in the area ofit called Rensselear Polytechnical Institute (RPI). It is a terribly run down skanky ass city. I know i live 4 miles from it.
