Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

Can't do anything else. Did he slowplay KQ or a set, or did he have a lower two pair? I think villain has JT here a lot.

Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

nh.

But why did you bet her only almost all-in on the river?

Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

That would be my usual line at lower limits, so I'm just wondering if it's right up here. Results aren't important [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img](KQ for the curious).

Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

That is a really risky play by the villain to C/R the river there. You will almost never bet without AQ or better here so he could be losing out on a lot of value. Now I am never advocating checking behind on the river since you will so often see a worse two pair here. I am just pointing out that you should take note of this villain and play accordingly next time you see him.

Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

nh, nicely played, bad break. You see Ax here alot or a lower two pair.

Re: Top two : slower or just right ?
 

Obviously, you should have folded to the strength of villain's river re-raise of $2.35.

Actually, your line is fine. I think villain misplayed the turn. He should have had you all in at that point.

I dunno, I think Villain played the hand fine. He was able to get his whole stack in without taking Hero out of the lead until the very end.

Any [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],Broadway card, 4 or 2 potentially kills villain's river action, I get it in on the turn.

Not much you can do here. Too many draws out to check the turn.
