The five dollar bet did what he wanted it to do, but he should have either checked or put in a 50 dollar bet on the river to invite more action.

but the 5 dollar bet is such an underbet - i'd be scared shitless with middle pair

Dave should have known that the act weak, "do you have a draw" question indicates strenght. Easier to see when we see the hole cards.

By calling, any set up a bluff on the river.

I would like to know what are your favorite "orders" from the menu? Do you guys eat heavy or try to keep it light during marathon sessions?

[detroitplayer]

I know you're not asking me, but I usually eat fruit.

[Rich P.]

Bart sells beef jerky.

And add a bunch of bodily fluids to that salad

I was going through my games on the archives last week (really good one on Thursday and bad dead card one on Saturday).

The biggest criticism by the commentators was that I was perhaps too tight and someone said “in order to get action, I have to give action.”

I have to agree with that in the big game Friday. But from the play on Thursday and the observation on today’s hands:

(1) Nichole set of 9s hand where she raised got re-raised with T-rag and cold-called by KJo.

(2) Then I observed the 56s vs AA where 56 raised and AA re-raised and 56s called.

I don’t think I (or anyone for that matter) have to worry about getting action in the $300-$500 NL game at the Bicycle [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

This is correct. In the big game with guys like Gor, Moe, Jonas, even Dr. BB, you need to change gears once in awhile. I've seen Gor lay down pretty big hands to players like Yulette because when she plays, she almost always has a hand and its not worth it to try and look her up to see if its that one time out of 100 that she's bluffing. In this game and below, there is no point in trying to get tricky because these guys will just come along anyway.

Now you just have to remember to tell the dealer that you do not accept bad beats, which is something I forgot to do.

This current hand really disproves mine and Garland's point. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This displays the value of information about your opponents. A subscription to live at the bike would have saved the guy a lot of money against Yulette. Hows that for a plug!!
