Let me understand this - Why is 3 betting 77 from the SB a good play? What flop are you looking for against a LAP - only one that contains a 7 in my opinion.

Re: Questionable River Fold
I'm don't understand why you played it so passively - Top pair 3 handed then heads up I would think you would want to be the aggressor. As for the river, I think you should have called. He could have...

Re: Results and Thoughts
In any low limit game the fish stay in there with the strangest holdings (I've seen people cold call 3 raises with J5o!).
Saying that, I think check raising or betting the turn, and check calling...

Re: Flopped Flush - 113 CUBED
Thats just poker. It would have been more interesting if three people had KJ and there was KJ on the flop. What would the odds of that be?
