Re: Stop and go with KK
Any hand trying to force out a better one would bet when checked to on this flop. KK trying to get out AJ/AQ, TT trying to oust anything, etc. The only hands that don't have to worry in this spot...

Good fold
Preflop: raise less. 5x BB is too much IMO. 3-4x BB when first in seems right to me. People at this limit are going to call with some GOOFY nonsense, so keep the pot small from the get-go to avoid...

Re: Stop and go with KK
Looks pretty standard, actually. I assume that you check-fold the turn if he calls and a K doesn't hit?

Re: Pocket tens and JJ
Personally, I believe they are strong hands and worth raising. Not only are they overpairs to many flops, but Q high flops are often good flops for these hands. Not only that, but when the flop...

Re: To limp or not to limp??
Sure I limp big PPs sometimes. But the reason I limp is to trap some money in the pot and come back over on them, not to see the flop cheaply. It sounds like your problem is how to play postflop,...

Re: Fistdantilus\' Hands. [LONG]
I assume you are talking about hand 2. 9's are an overpair a fair amount of the time. Plus, any flop that comes J-high or lower is quite playable. Sometimes even Q-high flops are good flops for...

Re: Good Place to Make a Huge Laydown?
I think this is too big of a game for you. You give absolutely no reason for calling preflop, yet you do it anyway. That was a perfect time to raise out the good player and get heads up against a...

Re: And I still can\'t get rid of the skirt
You are at a severe disadvantage by betting these tiny amounts. You can't get paid off on good hands, and you can't push people out. You're losing value all over the place.

Re: What do I have and what do you need to call?
I'm going to say that you're bluffing here. Playing a set this way can only lose you money because you'll scare everyone out. I'll wager a guess on a str8 draw, or top and bottom pair. To call,...

No offense, but I don't understand why you are asking this question. If you can imagine a BETTER scenario for 33 (aside from him showing his cards before he pushes all-in), I'd like to hear it.
