Full house
$50 buy-in game on Paradise. The table is lovely, a lot of limping, preflop, very little raising. 4-5 are seeing the flop on a regular basis.

Re: Tournament Advice
Here's a format my friends and I use, and it works pretty well. Everyone starts with T1000 and the blind structure goes:
5-10,
10-20,
15-30,
25-50,
50-100,
75-150,
100-200,

Tight table, a...

Re: New player at the table
Yep - definitely call here, given the fact you only have to be right about 15% of the time, there is definitely an 85% chance he was betting second pair on the flop or was betting a flush draw that...

Dealing with overcards
Picture yourself in a loose, semi-passive environment.
4-5 callers on average pre-flop (very little pre-flop raising).

Re: simple hand A-K in late mid position
I would argue that against a passive player like this one (he didn't raise his overpair, a no-brainer on this flop) its best to go ahead and check because
