Re: Top Two on the flop
I agree that it feels like a set, but I just can't get there. I've got a King and a 5...so there is only 1 way for him to have KK or 55. I just can't see him cold-calling a PFR with 22.

AA-QQ in EP
I have been having trouble playing these hands (AA-QQ) in the first 3 positions.
In my (loose 5/5) game with multiple limpers, is it best to make a large raise and hopefully end it there? Or is...

Re: Flopped Flush - A vs. K

Flopped FH vs. Flopped Quads
What are the odds?
I found at another site that flopped quads are 407/1 and a flopped FH is 136/1...but I don't know how to do the math from there.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Interesting JJ w/ a SF-Draw
I agree. However, I was referring to the size of his bet. If he had less of a holding, he would have made it $15 or $20. $30 is his standard big-pair raise.
