no, no, the funnies thing would have been the board pairing on the river.

Now THAT would be funny.

If you had either the Q or J of I would have said you're a retard for stopping.

But at some point on the turn, you have to ask yourself if you're getting freerolled w/ QJ. Did you stop at the right point? If you didn't, it would have been coming up soon.

But for those who say to keep raising, it's something to think about.

Yeah - I noticed the same thing and thought your call on the turn was fine.

Your call on the river sucked tho.

This thread I think speaks as well to another post where we were debating a raise or cap wondering about a chop. If I hold the nuts at the river, I hold the raise button down... you never know.

My guess was going to be the you stopped because the other guy ran out of money, but I guess that's not what happened (unfortunately).
