 Why are mine always counterfeighted?!

This guy is pretty new to the table. The first two orbits he raised from the SB, I called and raised his c-bet each time and he folded. What's your play on this gay ass turn?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 check and hope the river is a big card that outkicks his kicker so you can split?..

 Hmm, now that I look at it this hand is so much simpler than I made it out to be at the time.

me no likes them eeether.

had top 2 flopped into a set. K J 4 flop. guy bets, i raise, 3 bets. does it again on turn, and we never shove. he bets real small on river, and i just call.

he showed the obvious 444. i cannot believe i saved my stack, but still...

2 pair sucks!!!!
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

 today I raised K8 on the button, one caller, flop comes KK8

Bingo! I bet hard, call, turn blanks, bet hard, he calls. River 8.

So I ended up splitting with his K gaa

 My classic two-pair situation is when I flop top two vs AA. We get all-in and he is saved by running duplicate cards, ie. turn and river are both 2. God I hate that! If the third card on the flop pairs I can be ok with that, but running 2s? This happens like every time!

But I'm over it.

I had kind of the same situation as you Jack. I have AQ, flop comes AQx. 3 streets of me betting heavy OOP into the guy and he's just calling. River is an A and I push with the nuts, he calls holding the case A & Q. Wtf?? He didn't raise once, I asked why he didn't raise anywhere in the hand, he said until the river he was afraid I had AA. This isn't Rounders dummy.
