Default Re: Results

I was surprised no one mentioned your call on the flop, which I really didn't like, until I got to Legenda's comment. I think he hit the nail on the head.

On the flop you should make a decision as to where you think you are in the hand. If you think you're behind, get out. If you think you're ahead, put the pressure on him. Calling him on the flop is terrible IMO as it gives him a free chance to bust you. Make him pay, or give up. The way you played it, he could have put a move on you on the turn with any card that hit, and it would make things very difficult for you.

As to calling the $30 raise, it would depend on how well I thought I played vs. the raiser. If I thought I could outplay him, I would call with a lot of hands as $30 isn't very much for that stack size. The other factor would be how sure I was of what the $30 raise meant. Against a better player I probably wouldn't get involved (unless I had AA of course).
