Caught in the Act

I agree with rick that it's way closer than most of the posters in the other thread think it is. it's also very game dependent. getting paid off after you flop the set is very important. I don't think you'd be missing much if you always folded this hand.

but andy, why do you never look at the second card when I'm sweating you?

the current crop of players play far too loose in lots of spots and do not know how to bet their money. the game hasnt changed just the way it is being played.

My question was more in regards to what the people who post on this forum think. No doubt the game has gotten looser, but most opponents in the middle levels I play only know that "2+2=4", rather than "2+2 is the world's best poker strategy forum".

My guess is he'd rather listen to you than play close ones.

Anyway, thanks for the response. I thought I was insane.

"If" the pot contains three overcards?

I want to keep my rep up. Especially with you. Given how badly I misplayed the hands we played against each other the other week, can you blame me?
