On hand #3, no re-raise on the turn?

I doubt you put him on AQ.

More likely, were you setting up for river raise, but slowed down with the 3-heart board?

EDIT: Maybe exercising caution, emphasizing the 'passive'?

Wow ya, you gotta wonder where the raise comes from when the [Qh] pops. That's where knowing the style of the player really comes in handy. There are really only three reasons he raises..

1) He doesn't believe you have the ace
2) He has a house
3) He's on a heart draw

A reraise would definately depend on the specific read. To me, if Fnord's opponent doesn't have the house it's a terrible raise regardless.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

I am guessing you won all 3 of these hands.
I think you played each one well. I was looking for something mean to say, because each of these hands is just ugly. But hey, good job.

Generally, k10 early position is hitting the muck, right? After thinking it over, I the river call is very disciplined, I like it. At first I thought he can be making the plays with hands other than the ax flush, but that line seems to reallly fit. I doubt he caps the q flush, and it doesnt seem like a set. I disagree wit the preflop raise (im guessing want some dead money in there, but with k10?) but in my opinion, the rest of the hand is very well played.

when passive players start raiseing it deffinetly sets off alarm bells . . .
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .

How's this for a fish impression. A textbook example of what NOT to do. planned on dumping this on the turn but got the oesd. Raiser was Laggy and was raising junk the whole time I was at the table.
