Holy crap. I had no idea that there would be players that bad on the 55s. That looked like typical fishy play on the 11s.

I've seen better play for matchsticks

[/ QUOTE ] Oh please. One caller with pocket aces, and only the BB left to call? I think your exaggerating the importance of raising 90 rather than 70 chips.

freemoney · #7 06-10-2005, 03:17 AM

if you are gonna make it 70 dont raise at unless opponent is an idiot in that case he will call more so raise more.
