Recycling vs Garbage
Assuming recycling is possible, is it more costly to the environment to throw waste in the garbage, or to recycle it? Does the answer depend on what kind of recyclable waste it is?

Re: how should I play this?
If I raise, either: both call or; SB 3-bets and I fold? So I only need to win 1 out of 3?
With the dangerous turn and a sane SB, I don't think I'd win that often. But I really have no idea.

how should I play this?
BB is overly aggressive, 60/25/3. SB is a typical mediocre player, 40/10/1.

Re: Party 1:00 est 50 speed + Rebuys
I don't understand. When you add-on, you're getting 1500 chips for the same price as the buy-in instead of the usual 1000.
Is there something I'm missing?

Re: Go for the overcall?

Re: How was this hand played
I would be inclined to raise again on the turn, since UTG's betting pattern doesn't suggest a strong hand. Most UTG's would checkraise the turn or 3-bet the flop if they had two pair or a set.

20-40 hold em. 3.5 per flop. Raises about 65-70 preflop. I have QcJc in MP and limp.
If you're not likely to get more than one more limper, why limp? This looks like a raise or fold hand.

Re: 10-20 online river bet - easy or dumb?
If your KK is the best hand and you bet, you win 1 bet from each caller. On average that will probably be somewhere between 1 and 2 bets. If you check, neither of them will bluff and you'll win...

Re: T.O.P. is wrong -
If A raises $200, B has to call $400, not $200. B has to call both C's raise and A's reraise.
