Because UTG is a puss who flopped 2 pair?

On the other hand, I'm impatient.

Results in white below:
UTG has Ah 9h (one pair, nines).
Hero has Kh Kd (one pair, kings).
Button has Qd 9d (two pair, queens and nines).
Outcome: Button wins 17 BB.

And the chat:

broke_donkey said, "ty"
broke_donkey said, "tnks agan"
NoNamePerson said, "shotfrog said np"
NoNamePerson said, "yw"
broke_donkey said, "in his heart im sure he did"
NoNamePerson said, "yes"
Shotfrog said, "Your two letter abbreviations are mystifying to me"
NoNamePerson said, "so is your play"

Your play looks fine, if you are beat by JT or a flush, they should be mocked for not raising on the river.

Now that I see your results. I take it broke_donkey is the button, and NoNamePerson is UTG.

Button's play was fine, if he would have rasied on the river, UTG might not have called. Plus there was flush and straight possiblilities.

UTG's play was poor, add him to your friends list.

That guy was an idiot. He was flaunting his $150 stack like we actually cared because somehow it meant he was a better player.

He got mad at me once when I caught running diamonds and sucked out on him. I had no odds to call to the river, but I called anyway. .02/.04 is fun.

I'm glad you guys were there, because it reminded me that poker actually is supposed to be fun. I have a hard time staying on an even keel sometimes.

I remember when I first started playing limit and had a buncha FTR'ers come down at sit with me at .05/.10 sessions. I was the only one playing and still had a blast watching these guys go nuts.

It was difficult to keep folding with so many people raising and re-raising such crappy hands.

Move up soon so you don't reinforce any bad habits playing with the monkeys down there. .05/.10 isn't much better. .25/.50 is much tighter, but generally weak post flop.

I would, but my bankroll currently stands at about $22.

That was the plan, but I peaked at about $23. I'm trying PokerTracker, but all it's telling me so far is that I hate numbers.
