Re: 3 left 2 short stacks 1 hard decision?
Normally, if I am a small stack, I don't like another small stack playing without me. You have an excellent hand for 3 handed - both high and low possibilities. Button has advertised a decent hand,...

Re: K problem on the bubble
I would not put SB on a K. If he had it, he would certainly raise here. The pot is big enough and he doesn't want to see anothr A either. A small to medium PP is much more likely. Button could have...

Seeing as this was a tight table I thought that if I can put my opponent on a small pair or Ax, then if my hand hit I would have a good chance of getting it paid off.

Re: Did I Get Outplayed Here?

When you check the turn, your opponent knows exactly what you have - a big overpair, but most likely not AA. He also knows you are afraid of the A.
