Reraise level 2 with TT - dumb?

[microbet]

No, this came after. I'm assuming he read the other one and was being clever.

However, your explanation of your play sounds a bit psychological, as if you might be on tilt or not wanting to bother with this game because of your other games.

Close. I wasn't tilting. But it was not my standard play and it was influenced by being in push/fold mode on 3 out of 4 tables. It was a lack of adjustment.

Partly I wanted to post this as a demonstration of how my sanctimonious ass thinks that you should handle yourself in chat.

I think that's an absolutely perfect response. I will probably steal it from you sometime.

I do think it was a little early in the game to do this, but would guess it was +$EV.

[/ QUOTE ] Probably, but you sitting down at the table is +$EV. I would say that that is probably more +$EV than this play, which is why I wouldn't make it.

Am I making sense? Another way to say this is that, in the long run, you would make more money by folding this than by pushing this, even if pushing this is +$EV.

You're definitely making sense. I think it was marginal and unless a horde of top posters think it was an easy play I'll back off. I know you da' man, so it's pretty much settled.

Well, the overbet smacks of weakness, so I think there's a good chance you have the best hand. And it can be irritating to fold a good hand when you think you are ahead.

I see a lot of people play their 77-JJ like this on PP - huge overraise to avoid the overcards on the flop. I don't think I push here with TT but of all the hands I could see him raising with you are only behind JJ. I imagine he had QQ or something better?

[microbet]

The results are posted below. The raiser had KK. I think it was unusual. When a raise is too big I always think pockets JJ or less or AK.

[curtains]

I would usually fold here. (usually meaning basically always unless I knew specifically that the raiser was nuts)
