Button in hand 2 is slightly loose but pretty straight forward.

hand 1: c/r reeks of a J as you said. I am unclear why you would call for "table image." Please enlighten me.

hand 2: pot is small, a fairly easy laydown against a straight forward player.

1. good. image is overrated; most ppl aren't paying close enough attention.

2. i've purged JTo from my playable hands, but for the discount, i think it's ok. this is precisely the type of problem i dislike though.

i thought you had moved to party 0.50/1?

I did, but I needed the money out for a security deposit - I'm up to almost $250 at .25/.50, so I'll be back soon...
