OK everyone...Thanks for all the input, which was unanimous. I was feeling beat up by so many beats, and I didn't expect the negative replies I had, but fair enough. I see where you were all coming from. Sorry if it appeared I was whining.
I am playing alot and I recognize this game is a lifelong study. So, onward.
I would like some input on the following please.
Darko big stack UTG has been pushing hard all game. I felt he was coming back over the top on so many check raises that some must be bluffed, and now down to four, he hasn't tightened up.
