<font color="white"> </font> I make a crying call and he turns up A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the nuts. I guess I was hoping for him to have QJ or something like that, even though the action is clear of a drawing hand. Should I have gone all in on flop? played it like I did? or folded to his river bet? <font color="white"> </font>
