This hand is from the Bay 101 40/80. Typical mix of good, marginal, and poor players, though the weak spots aren't as horrifically weak as they normally are. The villian is Sarah, an Asian chick (who has the world's largest forehead, as a point of reference). My take on her is limited, as I am hovering between 20/40 and 40/80. She has the skill set to beat 20/40 (IMO), but is somewhat outclassed in 40/80. Decent hand reader, but she openraises and three bets WAY light.

Nine handed. I openraise A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] from MP, she three bets from the cutoff. The flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and I check call. The turn is the J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and I checkraise. The river is the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and I check, looking to checkraise.

The two best players in the game, one of whom is a friend and a significant 80/160 winner gave me a not so subtle smirk after the river went check-check and I tabled my hand. I didn't like my river play for a few minutes, then I decided I did, or it was at least close.

Mike l. and others: was this sexy?
