Re: Bubble trouble
Thanks. I wasn't so sure about the "going for the kill" part after I wrote it, but I figured that at some point you have to take a risk. However, your point is well taken, so it follows that the "value" portion of my overcards semibluff wasn't worth much, and I probably should just check-fold unless getting great odds.
Incidentally, I may be picking up bad habits in the Pacific $4 S&Gs, such as overplaying top pair-mediocre kicker, just because so many people play such bad hands there. So the advice about avoiding kicker trouble is doubly important as I move up.
I looked back over some of the GSIH S&G/tournament material yesterday and think I'm playing too many hands when I get near the money with a comfortable chip position (say, top three).
I'll give others a chance to comment and then post another hand.
