raising here is beyoud awful. you played it fine.
what hand does this dealer expect him to pay you off with when you raise?

The dealer talked to me later about this hand saying I should have raised the turn or river.

raising the turn would be horrible, and raising the river would be bad. that fact that he is a lag makes these plays even worse, not better. one reason is that he could more reasonably have an ace. the second is that he is more inclined to bluff raise you, a move which you would have to fold to.

Exactly my line of thought. Will note dealer's lack of poker ability for future reference.

Just curious, was this the one in the 70s on the West Side? This guy sounds familiar.

[pdubz]

Yup. I'm new to the scene, so I don't know if he's a regular.

Interesting to know other 2+2 posters are there. That 1/2 game is really something. Mostly college boys with serious cases of WPT-itis. I think it is almost impossible to lose money there. The 2/5 game, when they spread it, is soft as hell too.
