 No real read on villain. He's been in a lot of pots, but haven't been doing much raising preflop.

** Chomp Chomp Chomp [Hold 'em] (0.05|0.10 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money

- TeniJackson sitting in seat 1 with $1.95
- HalvSame sitting in seat 2 with $9.75
- Huish26 sitting in seat 3 with $3.65
- Nedomansky sitting in seat 4 with $13.50
- Monty777 sitting in seat 5 with $10.45
- esl2 sitting in seat 6 with $12.87
- romanaboka sitting in seat 7 with $14.85
- JamesPB sitting in seat 8 with $3.70
- Wadofella sitting in seat 9 with $1.85
- boergha sitting in seat 10 with $4.85 [Dealer]

TeniJackson posted the small blind - $0.05
HalvSame posted the big blind - $0.10
** Dealing card to HalvSame: Ace of Hearts, King of Spades
Huish26 folded
Nedomansky called - $0.10
Monty777 folded
esl2 raised - $0.80
romanaboka folded
JamesPB folded
Wadofella folded
boergha folded
TeniJackson folded
HalvSame called - $0.80
Nedomansky folded

** Dealing the flop: 10 of Clubs, King of Hearts, 3 of Diamonds
HalvSame bet - $0.85 [I should probably bet more than 1/2 pot here?]
esl2 called - $0.85

[at this point I'm thinking he's either floating w/JJ or QQ, or he's slowplaying TT(or KK, but that's not too likely since there are two other K's in play). AA is also a big possibility, although I would think he'd raise the flop.]

** Dealing the turn: 3 of Clubs
HalvSame ??

From my experience, 8xBB preflop raise at riverbelle is AA or KK. I'd just keep betting half the pot and fold to a raise. Predictable, but there's no need to go broke here. Especially as you say he hasn't done much pre flop raising. He'll most likely call you down if he does have QQ/JJ.

Nice Royal yesterday

Riverbelle

why are you playing .05/.10, you should play .10/.20 minimum. I just got through clearing the bonus there and i played 20nl - 100nl... what ever was available.... all the same. I even played 50 hands at 200nl +33.00.
I normally play 25nl @ party.

deposited 200.00
cashed out 400.00
left the bonus there to play with!
Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

Nice Royal yesterday
Im actually on Royal Vegas Poker, but it's Prima allright. On the Royal; this was my second in the past few weeks (one was on the board, but the other guy folded:P) and third this year. I should probably move to a Royal-bonus table I guess.

As for why I play .05/.10, I'm moving from SnG's to Ring, and need to get adjusted. Also I don't have the BR to move up yet. Actually I only play there while I'm waiting for a cashout from pacific (slooooooow) because you get a $10 free for signing up. I think ten bucks is a liiiiittle short for moving to 25NL .

As for the hand, I decided to check-call if he bets small. Here's how it went down;

** Dealing the turn: 3 of Clubs
HalvSame checked
esl2 checked

** Dealing the river: Queen of Clubs
HalvSame checked
esl2 bet - $1.80
HalvSame called - $1.80
esl2 shows: Jack of Spades, Ace of Diamonds
HalvSame mucks:
esl2 wins $6.75 from the main pot

Don't know if he would've actually folded to a bet on the turn, but I'm going to do the bet/fold to a raise line next time. I'm not sure about the river call, the only thing I beat now is JJ or maybe AQ trying to buy the pot. It did give me a good read on his raising range, though, letting me reraise him out of some pots from position later on.
