Re: String Bet?
Seeing as this was clearly not an attempt at angle-shooting, and the guy thought he was announcing his raise in a legitimate way, I think it would be seriously nitty to forbid the raise.
However,...

Re: ($11) JJ against shorter stacks
I'd play it the same way you did.
You'll doubtless have overcards to dodge, but at the $11 level there's no way the action before it gets to you has to mean qq or above.

Re: MTT\'s and drinking alcohol(serious topic)
I find that I play better in live games after a couple of beers - I guess because I relax more and thus think more clearly.
Online, however, it's the opposite - I play better totally sober.

Of the range of hands you put him on, you tie once and lose every other time. Obviously you may be able to bluff him off a few of them, but even so, I see no reason to go any further in this pot -...

Re: Poker fun: Quick riddle
If you get into a pre-flop raising war with someone you know to be a "super-tight passive rock" when holding only QQ, then you are just as big a fish as the millionaire in the question.

So although he was an underdog on the flop, he'd...
