I have been trying to get accustomed to the player base at Full Tilt. I just switched over from Pokerstars to knock out the $600 bonus. It seems like raises at Full Tilt tend to be legit (two pair, Sets), whereas at Pokerstars sometimes raises were just "bluffs" or fish letting you know they have a pair.

Note: At the time of these hand histories I didn't have pokertracker running, but I will list any stats I may have in this thread.

Hand 1 that 0.29 is kinda key unless you think he'll play this way with AQ/AJ or a draw (and bet the river missed) then I'm out on the river.

Hand 2 I'm betting $2 on the flop, $5 on the turn and probably folding to a reraise there if he does so...your line says you have JJ/QQ. As played, fine.

Hand 3 you're beat - I understand the turn call of a minreraise, but the river is tough...you can't be ahead at that point.

BankItDrew will become famous soon enough

Try betting more on the flop, you get more calls than raises from a worse Ace. Also, you'll remain in control of the betting.

If you do get raised on the flop, try leading the turn. If you get raised two streets in a row, it's easier to lay down to a better hand. Also, it takes over the betting again.

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

Other than that, right on.

Hand 1, Villian had A4

Hand 2, Villian had TT

Hand 3, Villian had AQ. I checked the flop because button had re-raised preflop, and because I had bad position. Looking back I like a lead/fold here.
