Re: KK on the Button - What\'s the Play?
Here's what transpired. After he bet, I pushed all-in. He calls and show me AA.

Re: Ace Ten off in Big Blind - flopped 2 pair
Well, when he called me, that crossed my mind for a brief moment. However, when I made my decision to push, I did not believe he would have raised UTG with 44s.
As I was going through my...

Re: QQ with Overcard Flop - What\'s the play?
Elysium,
Yes, re-raise pre-flop is correct. Most of time, this is my normal play.
Let's do a what if on this, if you don't mind.
I re-raise pre-flop, and then he re-raises, then what?...

Re: QQ with Overcard Flop - What\'s the play?
MrGo, I did consider a 3-bet, however, I know the button and I have seen him play most buttons with UTG raises, so I assumed he would play his button, even with a 3-bet. That's why I did not...

Flop: A K 10 (rainbow)
UTG bets, I call, button calls....
