Re: ($60) more PF fun with JJ
"Yes, Seat 7 is a known window-licker"
I spewed chips. Doritos. My cubemate looked at me funny and edged slowly away.

Re: Well, I\'ve come this far... blind play, $55s
Villian's line looks like one I would take if I had a hand that I thought was good until the river card fell. Either a slow-played pp that didn't want to chase you out pf or junk that hit 2 pr or...

Re: 30/60 big pot odd river
Check/call one bet?
I'd be pretty sure I was beat, but it feels like UTG was betting an overpair, and MP1&SB were playing for a flush.
I think the pot size justifies calling a single bet, but I...

Re: give up?
I'd think for a bit and bet 150-175. Big enough to look like you're trying to protect against a draw, small enough to look like you don't mind a call, and small enough you aren't comitted to calling...

Re: ($11) top set vs coordinated board
Fine. You're getting 3:1 to call the river bet for 10 outs if you're behind. Nothing wrong with that.
You wanted to get as much of his money as you can, so string him along. I generally try to...

Re: AA fold
Well, contrary to the other posters here, I think this was an "inspired" play.
Some considerations:
You won't get sucked out on when J90 calls and gets runner-runner 9s.
You won't have to...

Re: two stupid mistakes is one too many
So...more than 2 stupid mistakes, you say.
I agree with you, I didn't need the chips. I was thinking that Q9s was an OK hand to open-raise with in CO. Not a pure steal like 83o would be.
That...

Read on Villain is that he's agressive and tricky.
Hand history is

Seat 2: Villain (4815 in chips)

Re: I need to be punished
and after you learn to check-fold QQ to an A-high flop, learn to spell eviscerate and dissuade. Nothing sets me off more than pseudo-intellectual vocabulary misspelled.
Had enough?

Re: Embarassingly Butchered AQ Hand
Once the button raised PF, I would have re-raised to about 120. If that didn't take it down, fire out about 120 or 150 on the flop.
If you get called or raised, well you're OOP, you have TPGK on...
