You can never get too aggressive with an OESFD + a pair.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Not aggressive enough.
You've got a bazillion cards to come that can do nothing BUT help you. Bet, raise, reraise, reraise, reraise...

Good plays, my boy.

The only way he could do more is to push the flop...which wouldn't be bad, but I think this works too.

Did SB have 55 or 86?

Edit: wtf was I thinking? 86 makes no sense...the 5 wouldn't have helped - he'd have flopped it.

Ah, the clever slow play. Because clearly 99 and 77 would have folded on the flop.

Yes, UTG had 99 and didn't hesitate to fold. Silly SB!

Yeah those are the type of hands I love to see people push against me, because if they think im on JUST a flush draw there are so wrong. It's funny...I try to play flush draws like nuts and nuts like flush draws, until the river of course.
