Love the river c/c in hand 1. Not sure about hand 2, you need a pretty good read. What are you repping with the turn overbet push? I'd raise the flop with a set, the K can't have helped your hand, unless you have KJ. I dunno... nice 50BB pickup though.

when the guy three bets than checks he always is giving up the turn.

A couple more from last night. Theme: I am a station. (But it works out well against the right opponents.)

First hand is against I guy I had just stacked on another table when my combo draw hit on the river vs. his AA. He just sat down at this table and posted from the CO. He's aggro and I was pretty sure he was tilting.

Second one is against a 75/18 lagg maniac. I played everything I could against this guy, esp deep stacked b/c the implied odds were off the charts. He loved to bet everything, push marginal draws, make big bluffs... typical maniac.

Flame away! Smile

First hand is borderline stupid but the thing is he's prob bet like $60 with a flush here or boat and check any other hand, so i kinda like it.

sorry no HH, but i think this is my sickest call

6 ppl left in a $10 SNG

raise with 77 utg +2, one caller on teh button

flop come 6c 10s Qs

i bet standard cbet of 1/2 pot, villian pushes all in, way more than pot. figure he has flush draw, or AK, and call. He flips over AKs, and i hold Very Happy

nice little bluff on the turn. Made the mistake preflop, but didnt know opp was decent. But turn is a half decent read considering he isnt calling this a lot.

here's a read based semi thin, semi standard call, not really awesome, but i like how often im right in these sort of calls.
one time (can't find it now) i insta called the river with king high after I cbet, checked behind, then he insta bet, vs this big time floater. he went on complete monkey tilt haha (he had 65, total air, a missed gut shot).
anyways, these feel good-
