HMMM.

[wontons]

umm..yea...my understanding with a value bet is you want them to call...you wanted him to call a $135 bet when you have what a little better than bottom pair? Maybe its just me..its early in the morning here.

I'm pretty sure you did not notice you hit your pair. This can be a very costly mistake in the long run. Until the river, i liked the play (and i like firing again on the river if you don't make a pair).

Please use the hand converter next time...It's brutal trying to follow the action this way.

[kagame]

hand converter is sick. is there anything else to use besides bison?

[TonyBlair]

What do you think the villain puts you on? Or does he think?

Unless you have a seriously accurate read on this player I think most responses to this post are going to be quite similar.

[Dr. Strangelove]

There is nothing like bluffing and getting called by a worse hand.

[kagame]

somehow he knew i knew he had AK

called me and was shocked at the result

i WISHED id known he knew i knew he had AK

but i really did just not notice i paired

i played the hand perfectly but was unaware of it
