Weak Tight you say Mikel?

[PokerBabe(aka)]

The recent post by mikel where he talks about being "weak tight on the river lately" made me think about this hand to talk about.

30-60 Bellagio dayshift. Babe is on the button vs. solid playing Black guy. HEY, the fact he is Black is irrelevant but used here only for descriptive purposes.

Local "loaded" lady limps 2UTG. Folded to black guy who is in the c/o. Black guy raises and I 3 bet with offsuit kings from the button. Local loaded lady calls and Black guy calls.

Flop is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to me and I bet. Turn is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Checked to me and I bet. Local loaded lady now folds.

River is J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Black guy checks and I check.

how often do you think he pays you off with 99 or 88? mathematically 4 times as likely he has those hands over JJ so you have to be pretty sure he won't pay you off

Pokerbabe.. if you are not making this bet you need to move WAY down in limits.. I hope this is a joke. Although i have listened to you on "Live at the Bike" and your lack of value betting wouldn't surprise me..

With the information you've given, I would bet the river and fold to a checkraise against this guy.

I heard this story, which I relate second (third?) hand.

There was a dispute in a no-limit game at Commerce where a player was taking an inordinate amount of time to make a decision. A black player said something about it. The inordinate time-taker replied that the black man was stupid because he is black. The bigot was thrown out of the club.

Apparently the two met outside. The black guy is, I believe, a former NBA player. I'd put him at about six-six. His opponent was about five-eight and slightly built.

Next thing you know the big black guy has the little guy by the neck, and Jack is trying to break it up; Jack is grabbing the big guy around his neck, and being whipped around by the guy like a rag doll. A scene right out of WWF.

Sorry I don't know the end of the story. Just another day in paradise/Commerce.

While this might not have been her proudest moment, I can assure you Pokerbabe does not need to move down in limit. She does quite well in the games she plays in, thank you.
