Re: Bay 101 Midnight Tournament
I know they run on Thursday mornings (Wednesday nights), but I forget if the other morning was Monday or Tuesday.
I'm still saving up a bit before I enter. I'll let you know.

I was at Bay 101 last night and saw that they have midnight tournaments twice a week.

I'm...

Re: How to Play KK when A flops?
While your idea has merit, I think it is a very bad idea in this circumstance. With Villain raising pre-flop, and then check-raising on the flop, there is a very good chance he has an Ace.

Re: Tricky Middle Connector Hand
It's possible that he flopped a flush or a set and was slowplaying, but then why not raise the turn? It's possible he has a 7 as well, in which case you might actually lose this hand. However, it...

Re: how did I do?
Without any reads, it's hard to say. I'm guessing that he made a pair of Jacks based on his calling pre-flop (would have raised with a pair of Jacks), calling the flop (overcards?), and then raising...

Because there is a "very good TAG" raising pre-flop, I wouldn't be feeling very strong about my Jacks. I would have simply called on the flop rather than raising.
