Re: How much to block?
I think my play leading up to the river is fine. I just wimped out on the river. There is no way I am check-folding to a bet from the semi-tilting maniac.
On the turn I bet a good amount that got...

Re: Laying down JJ Preflop (Results)
As it turned out you folded the best hand at the time. Oh well! that is a very easy fold. In the game you describe there will be many better spots to push your stack to the middle.

Re: Should this play be made?
I think 3-handed and facing a 1/2 pot bet from the preflop button raiser there is a good chance that you have the best hand right now. If you do in fact have the best hand, there are only a few cards...

Re: mirage 10/20: which part was worse?
Hey Dave,
Do you really think a preflop 3 bettor would check when checked to with 99-77 because of one small overcard? I think he either flopped top set or took the free card with a bigger A than...
