What do you think, the action after the flop made me feel better. Villian mini re-re-raises with aces, trap-checks with top set, and tries a value bet on the turn, when he is committing himself to turbo call in all-in?

First break. Down to 640. Completely card dead at an extremely loose and aggressive table. Played one somewhat big hand where I limped TJo in the cutoff after several limpers. Flopped top pair. On Jxx flop with 2 spades. Checked to me. I bet the pot. Called in one place. Turn is icky A of spades. Check check. River is icky offsuit T. Caller (who had played quite aggressively) bet 400. I called. He had KQ of spades. This guy was capable of bluffing on the river, but the more I think about it, the more I hate it. What was he possibly holding that didn't hit on that board. Blech.

3500 at 1st break

Been targeting 1 player at my table since the begining... complete donk... each have about t3500 after break... AA and AK back to back hands do the job... half first hand... half second hand with AKo vs. QTs preflop.

Christ that was ugly. Blinds 25/50. AQs in the BB. 500 left after posting. EP limper. EP raise to 250, EP call. Folded to me. Can I fold this with just 12 BBs left? I don't think I can. I pushed. EP limper repushed. 2 guesses what he had.

Loose player I push and expect to see AQ, AK, or a worse pair. Against a rock I fold. Normally after 1st hour I have a read on how most of the table plays their hands and will know what a bet like this means.

That'd be a big raise for QQ+, i think a push here would be good. Still a slight chance he folds, and you're likely best here i think.

You know that' Cloutier right?

who? j9 of clubs? cool, didn't know. Either way, I pushed, he called with AQo, my jacks held.

No, don't think you can fold there. Blinds arent that slow in this, 500 chips there is pretty small.

After my TT hand, went into loose-shortstack mode. almost got something going, but tried to isolate short stack w/ 66, and lost a race. Then pushed 77 from EP for 2000 w/ 75/150 blinds. not sure if that should just be a fold. ah well, gl those still in.
