Re: Too aggressive vs. this limp re-raiser?
You do have to be wary of being against AA or KK dealing with a limp-reraiser, but if he's really aggressive he could be making this play with a bigger range of hands. (Say he wants to build a big...

Re: K8s In SB, and an EP Raiser. Should I play?
Yeah just fold. Your implied odds are only a little better than if you had to just cold-call the raise, and what's worse is you'll be first to act on every street. Save yourself the 1.5 SBs.

Re: A friend\'s hand (how is my analysis?)
Limping with K9s is fine. Raising the flop would have definitely been right. And if you get 3-bet, that doesn't even mean you're behind at Party 1/2. You have top pair and the backdoor club draw...

Re: JJ in the BB
Agreed, you played fine on all the streets. On the river you probably call, there's still just the one overcard. It's possible the the flop raiser has a queen, but there are plenty of other hands...

Re: An AKo line...
I would be a bit more aggressive on the earlier streets with TPTK. In both the hands, it's almost like you're slowplaying; TPTK is good, but not NOT strong, and as both hands have been 3-bet...

Playing a pocket pair vs. 1 overcard
Two examples. In both cases you're playing 2/4 online and you have TT on the button. There are two loose limpers from MP we'll say, and you raise, folding the blinds. The limpers call.

Re: Things that make ya go hmmmmm....
I would say you played it fine. If your table is that loose, 3-betting your overpair on the flop is certainly reasonable. And after it checked through on the turn, betting the river is fine too.

The temptation is there to smooth call and try to disguise your hand, but at this point, it really isn't necessary. Being deceptive about your hand isn't as important in 0.5/1 as it is, and by the...
