One more from my virginal 30/60 session

I really don't like the flop raise, and I raise the river.

Losing BK's $$$$. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

If I pop the turn, is he callig down with 66-99? Can I safely fold to a 3-bet here? It think his name was Kwan.

Haha, it was BK that took half of you? How many corona's did he have in him?

I cant believe he took your action and didnt even give you the obvious reads on the players, such as pointing out that quan is uber tight.

Whilst it's true that raising the turn would be my play, it also signals to any decent player that you hit your pair. So I'd mix it up, but since your pair is only Jacks, I don't think you should let villain hit his Q/K/A/draw for free here. Yes, if you hold a big pair you can raise on a blank turn much more confusingly. Here I wouldn't be holding back.

I gave him reads about an orbit into the game. I was in the middle of a couple pots (what's new) and couldn't get over there quick enough.

Bob, I'm starting to worry about you though...it seems like you're beginning to feel like you need to raise every flop no matter what 2 cards you have given that you raised pre-flop. Calling is often a very useful tool. Use it.

On a side note for all you nay sayers he won me 220 bucks. thx ><(((*> for the money.

Canterbury 30/60 (8 handed)
EP fish limps, I raise in the CO with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB (same dude from my first post) calls, BB folds, fish calls.

Flop (3 players): 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB bets, fish folds, I raise, SB 3-bets, I call.

Turn (HU): J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB bets, I call.

River: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
SB bets, I call.

Villain shows A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and MHIG, but dealer pushes villain the pot. We got it sorted out eventually.

I calmed down a few orbits in, when I could identify that there were donks in the game other than me. And I did win 9 bets in that game, even with (a) playing like a jackass the first few orbits and (b) losing with AA to a set of 3's.

yes but waiting til the river loses a bet on many river cards. If another broadway drops he is surely check-calling.

I raise the turn here, just make sure to do this with AK a decent amount for a free showdown.

A bet from a check call is one more bet than when they fold on the turn.

Unless we have a read that he is a nit I can't see him folding any pair on this board.
