Re: top set runs into trouble
i like the way you played it. you gotta stop and at least give some thought about him having the clubs. AK or AQ of /images/graemlins/club.gif is possible unless u were sure he wouldnt reraise...

Re: loose passive a good strategy? 200 NL
agreed. i either check/fold or bet out on the turn depending on my read. calling seems out of the question. The river bet looks pretty defensive and against a min raise you were righ to throw it...

Re: TT from BB-----3 Cold for me
i might raise to find out exactly where i was. if he reraises then u can lay it down and if he just calls u can be somewhat sure that you have the best hand. calling isnt a terrible play either.
