15-30: 5 hands vs same opponent

I don't see how you can check the river, but I suppose Ace high still may have been the best hand, but nevertheless I would bet virtually 100% of the time. I would hate for a bozo to turn over bottum pair or pocket Treys. That would make me sick.

"Kind of spikey very full head of hair"

Whew, for a second I thought it might have been me.

Mike L. to the contrary, I've always thought the best approach when one flops the nuts is to hit them over the head with the biggest hammer you can find. You never know when someone has flopped the 2nd nuts and they may give you all kinds of action, especially in La-la land, where they assume that, since they would have slow-played with the nuts, you can't possibly have them.

Anybody like a check-raise on the river here?

Clark,

Fairly straightforward. Big multi-way, betting straight out and reraising when you get the chance.

I like your player descriptions.

Lets see. Of the 4 asians, they were described as tight, tight aggressive, straightforward and tight with preflop raises but otherwise loose.

Sure seems like stereotyping to me. Give me an f'n break.

"If the kid really is "straightforward," couldn't you muck on the river (before Andy's raise) and save a BB? What could he have that you're beating? Or did you think that you would chop the pot with him? "

I almost did, but since I checked the turn, there is no way that he can put me on AK, so I have to call since he may simply think that his ATs, or some such is good.

[Clarkmeister]

I'd bet the turn if I missed. If I check, it can easily get bet and raised to me, but by betting its very rare that I'll get raised again. I find that betting tends to insure that I only have to pay 1 bet to see the river.

I was in town last weekend for a friend's housewarming party. I played Thursday night and Sunday, but sadly didn't see any 2+2ers there.

[Clarkmeister]

I think that given my previous hands against him, he'd even muck a queen in that spot, on the river but I could be wrong. I mean, given the previous hands, how would you like a queen against me on that board?
