Sad

let it go, man.

heres an example of a hand for my opponent that is the opposite. probably profitable in the long run, but cost him a stack in this instance.

this is the real danger of giving your strength away oop. i KNEW with his backraise and subsequent flat call preflop that he had KK. there was a small chance that also had AA, and an even smaller one that he held QQ. but i was nearly certain it was kings. normally, youd have to be concerned about a set of jacks in this spot, but because of the 'freedom of information act', i could progress unchecked. if youre KK, at what point do you become concerned?

You know in many ways Big Boy has never left he's always served the same high quality meals at competitive prices. Discuss?

sup guys just been busy past few days. glad you missed me. =)

Whats the point of the thread?

As for the hand, why check raise if your going to do it so freaking weak!?

If I where KK, I would be concerned preflop.

the point of this thread is the continuing pettiness sometimes seen on this site. but im hijacking it.

i think the 'checkraise' was more of a situation that he wanted to see what i would do on the turn. once he saw that i pot-committed myself, and he decided to stick with his hand, he just put it all in there. im thinking if i bet a smaller amount he was just calling it down. which is dumb.

where do you fold with KK? i think you need to call pf. my flop bet is designed pretty well, so i flatter myself into thinking that hes calling there as well. but turn, you could conceivably get away.

Who's Bigboy?

Nice hand. I think the best opportunity to get away is the pot sized turn bet. He's only invested $50, I can see not pushing another $180 after the 3-bet preflop action.
