Re: June Issue
Yes, but the 5 of spades was already showing, so I'm still confused even after the typo fix. Also, the 3 of hearts shows twice.

Re: Interesting river decision
Unless my reads on the other opponents are SUPER passive, I fold the flop here. I'm out of position to the field with just overcards and it's a flop that will get raised behind me a large percentage...

Here are a few guidelines to get you started.
1. NEVER open-limp. I know that "never" and poker don't go well together, but this is one rule that seems rock solid for short-handed play. Preflop,...

Yah, I decided I was GOING to call the check-raise before I bet, otherwise I'd have checked behind.

Re: me vs. a thinking lag
I'd rather bet the turn if I know I can fold to a raise, but the jack pairing is such a scare card, a bluff becomes very possible, so I didn't want to fold.

Re: countering the check/call + bet tactic
I think you played these hands pretty well. For these situations in general, you should most of the time either fold or raise on the turn depending on whether you hit a strong hand or not. I might...

Re: me vs. a thinking lag

Re: me vs. a thinking lag
would you raise UTG w/ QT or T9?
Although I suppose this exact situation could come up where you open-raised from a later position, so I guess your point is relevent.
