Poor KK...

Yeah, he went beserk in the chat afterwards. He never told me he had KK, but I never felt I needed to ask. 3-betting 44 preflop for deception purposes might be profitable at cryptos [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

13 bets is probably a bit excessive, but in his defense aside from that he played the hand well. Given your PFR I'd have gone quite a few bets with you on the turn before calling down.

Now if you can teach the rest of us how to flop this goot, then I'll admit that you have a legit reason we should all love Crypto [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: A reason to love Party

A 6 max table with the usual terrible 6 max players, but 8 of them! Where can I find this wonderful phenomenon?!

You could blame me for FPS, but I don't regret my way of playing this hand. Raising the flop on this ragged board wouldn't be good. You could argue I should have capped when it got back to me, but that would just stink QQ. If UTG holds AA or KK he will cap and I will succeed in check/raising the turn every time, trapping all players (unless SB bets out again of course).
