I just found this hand interesting and i feel like explaining my actions in this hand. There isn't anything particularly special about it, but this is the kind of critical thinking you need to really destroy your game.
***** Hand History for Game 2805149681 *****
$600 NL Texas Hold'em - Saturday, October 01, 02:33:27 EDT 2005
Table Table 36777 (6 max) (Real Money)
Seat 6 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 1: shipitt ( $712 )
Seat 3: BigWormED ( $2062.83 )
Seat 5: farmedfish ( $1113.85 )
Seat 2: emmac ( $61.20 )
Seat 4: JoeyMarauder ( $590.10 )
Seat 6: seal05 ( $485 )
shipitt posts small blind [$3].
emmac posts big blind [$6].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to farmedfish [ Qh Ac ]
BigWormED folds.
JoeyMarauder raises [$21].
my opponent is tight but quite agressive, the perfect opponent to re-raise AQ against.
farmedfish raises [$40].
seal05 folds.
shipitt folds.
emmac folds.
JoeyMarauder calls [$19].
** Dealing Flop ** [ 3c, 2c, 6d ]
JoeyMarauder checks.
farmedfish bets [$70].
I'm relatively tight myself so for the most part he is going to be thinking big pair or AK, so i bet most of the pot to represent that big pair
>You have options at Table 48724 (6 max) Table!.
JoeyMarauder calls [$70].
most of the time i quit with this hand when i'm just called here
** Dealing Turn ** [ Kd ]
but this is an interesting card, by his call on the flop i would put him on 99-QQ most of the time; he is very capable of trapping me w/ AA or KK, but he would have shown aggression on the flop if he had those, and he would have laid down overcards i'm pretty sure. So the K card significantly weakens his hand because i have been telling him with my betting pattern that i have a big pair or atleast AK. I decide that he is smart enough to realize this and i fire out the second bet and he folds
>You have options at Table 48724 (6 max) Table!.
JoeyMarauder checks.
farmedfish bets [$150].
>You have options at Table 48724 (6 max) Table!.
>You have options at Table 36816 (6 max) Table!.
JoeyMarauder folds.
farmedfish does not show cards.
farmedfish wins $376
BigWormED has left the table.

Seems pretty straightforward except the part where you suggest reraising an early position raise from a tight-aggressiver player with A-Q.
