Why did you checkraise?

folding to a three-bet and taking a free showdown, nh.

Pretty close to a fold I'd say on the flop, which is why I would never raise 22 here preflop. That said, against an unknown I'm not letting him have the pot so raising this turn is a must.

stealing with small pocket pairs can't be profitable in the party 20 game, although i would love to see some numbers to refute or backup my statement.

So you'll raise 77+ in that spot?

I'd go as low as 55+ if the numbers of the blinds showed enough possibility of fold equity.

I hope my post didn't sound condescending, I definately didn't mean it to be that way. I just have found that 22-44 was not a stealing hand in this game. I do think you played the hand quite well after the flop.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I am raising any playable hand here and most crappy hands as well. With position, the extra SB, and seeing that the CO has cheese I'm looking for excuses to get involved.

okay, fair enough. my problem with those hands is probably I don't play them well enough postflop in all honesty.

[private joker]

I like this hand a lot, Dave. What turn cards are you not raising when you call the flop c/r? A? 4? T/J/K? Or are you always raising the turn...

[Victor]

i would fold the flop. you are playing with fulltable fags remember. expect to see a4 here and realize you made him feel smart.

[Victor]

i only like pf if the blinds are so tight that you would make this play with xx.
