"You had a post last week where a guy open limped on the button, the SB says "HA" and completes, and you check. The flop gives you top pair and *you* fold, but the SB goes to the end. *He* was the one who said "ha" out loud, but still called down. Why do you think you could fold, but the SB could not?"

I'm not afraid to be right.

I'm playing $15-30 in the local club. Sesspool of diarrhea players. About 5 take the flop and I get a free pass in the BB with T6o.

Flop 78xr. Checked around.

Turn 9x. I bet, couple of folds, raise $60, raise $90. I stare at the board, digest and ferment. I fold.

River was a J and I would have split 3 way with JT, JT.

What that has to do with your hand is everything and nothing.

Like elindaur said. Being good poker, I don't know. Probably. But finding yourself in these spots where you're obviously in a good way, yet probably not, are a good test though.

Maybe I'll have lady luck swing my way and bump into Jeffage in the Taj $40 game this week.

OK, question from a small stakes player:

We put opener on QQ-TT. What will he think if we just call here? It seems to me that he will weight AK fairly highly given our play thus far. If so, is it possible that he will fold if an ace (or king) falls on the river? That would make a call ... more interesting anyway.
