elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 Everything looks good, but value bet that river and try to create a decent side pot. That way, even if the guy that goes all in has you beat you are likely a favorite against the other saps.

1) use the hand converter

2) don't post results of the hand

3) lead the flop. You have a big hand and are expected to bet out. Just do it. If it checks behind on the flop, you missed tons of value and you can't make it up later.

4) Turn fine.

5) River, meh. I'm kinda lost here too.

ok thanks i will next time-
I just get a little down when this sort of thing happens.

is there a certain way i should play against a player that plays almost every hand?

oh sorry about the hand converter thing- i use pacific poker and that converter thing said my data was invalid or something so I tried to make it eye friendly
