Where I play, if you put just one chip into the pot without saying anything then it's always just a call, regardless of the chip's denomination.

Re: String Bet?

However,...

Re: ($11) JJ against shorter stacks
I'd play it the same way you did.
You'll doubtless have overcards to dodge, but at the $11 level there's no way the action before it gets to you has to mean qq or above.

Re: MTT\'s and drinking alcohol(serious topic)
I find that I play better in live games after a couple of beers - I guess because I relax more and thus think more clearly.

Re: Poker fun: Quick riddle
If you get into a pre-flop raising war with someone you know to be a "super-tight passive rock" when holding only QQ, then you are just as big a fish as the millionaire in the question.
