I figure a checkraise to be better on the flop because it's more likely to get 88-JJ to fold than betting out would

Why would you want 88-JJ to fold? Being afraid of a...

I'd fold. I'm worried here that you'll be up against a pocket pair and the other guy will have one of your outs and add that to the possibility that you're up against KK or AA. Your stacks getting...

Villain is in CO and open raises to...

Unless, of course, you are able let go of the hand pre-flop. If you re-raise and you are re-raised all-in, I'm sure that some people would be able to let of KK, but it's a tough call.

Re: KK on the Button - What\'s the Play?
I think you trapped him well by not raising pre-flop. On the flop, I'd min-raise to 8K. It's called the "I think you have sh*t raise". This kind of raise makes people do strange things and gives...

Stars $11. Blinds are 100/200/25. EP has 6600, EP+1 has 5000. Hero on button with 3700. Blinds will be 200/400 in 8 minutes.

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
DE threw us all off when he said Hachem seemed like a strong player. I'm not saying he isn't, but saying he is and then posting the hand and having us guess his cards is misleading.

Re: Super Tuesday hand
You're gonna have to post the results to this one at some point. My prediction is that he had a 5 in his hand, you were ahead until the river, and you won't be going back to McDonalds for awhile.
