Re: am I the only one confused?

BB means Big Blind, in a 1-2 game the Big Blind is the bet on the first round, so 1
in a 10-20, the BB would be 10
in a 3000-6000 the BB would be 3000.

Re: AJo

Why not check raise/call?, 2 limpers probably missed, and that dude who raised will probably bet, if you raise the late position better he may think you are putting a play on him.

Re: winning player?

Yeah, it's certainly not over 5%, it may approach that at some higher limits though because you'll find the better players up there.

Re: Playing Heads Up with Middle Pair and a dangerous board.

Personally I think it's a fold or a call, because you may be beat already, and if he's on a draw he has an easy call, he may have a pair and flush draw, pair and str8 draw, so..if the turn comes...

Re: AK flopped TPTK anyone find a fold here?

With that many people looking you up, on a board with hardly any straight draws, you may be drawing dead. Not to mention the flush draw, even though you had back door possibility.

Re: Bellagio 30-60 -- 44 in BB

Why did you call an Early Position raise with 44 in the BB? Why not re-raise or fold (assuming it's just you and the pro). Why not raise the flop and avoid giving a free card if you didn't put the...
