Re: Sorry For Yet Another Dog Post
David,
I think this question falls in a genuine gray area. Six hours is enough time to have some value and, I think human life is a lot more valuable than the avoidance of doggy pain. Of course,...

Re: Deep 5/10 NL: Bottom set under pressure
I'm surprised there's so much enthusiasm for a push. This seems like a situation where you'll probably be called only if you're beaten.
Of course, the correct line will be read dependent, but...

Hero folds, as you all suggest.
Two blanks hit and CO takes it down with AQ to SB's AT. Any way for me to win this pot, or is this just one of those hands you have to let go?

Camel,
It sounds like you and I think alike. I check minraised to $180, villain folded. But then I was left wondering if I couldn't have done something to get more of his money.

Re: you make the call!
I would be shocked if anyone called an additional $350 on top of only $130 in the pot with anything that didn't beat you.
THWACK!

Re: 5/10 UB 2 pair
Thank you both for your comments.
Here was my thought process.
If I bet on the flop and get raised big, I have to lay down.

It wasn't at all "life or death". I don't have the skill to play at a level where the money would really matter.

Re: Lost my stack with AA - comments?
I wish I could have stayed. I had the cash with me for another buy-in, but I felt a little too on tilt to stick it out. I guess I need to work on that.

I have to say--I'm very impressed with the Party customer service response to this. I received an email today telling me that the two player accounts involved had been closed.
