Re: 20-40 at the Bike
Beware of players giving lessons at the table. I'd ignore them completely.
A case can be made for a limp here for a couple of reasons mostly for future play. I don't think you will be...

Re: Big pot: applying a concept, how\'d I do?
Yep this happens all the time where the button is on a buy. I like the ck raise here but the hand is played very weak thereafter. I have no idea why one wouldn't bet out on the turn and river...
