im learning. i wanted to just call on the end SO bad. but thot it was too cowardly, and if im gonna ask for advice here then i better take it.

MP3 had just sat down, however from previous sessions i know he was a loose raiser but tight caller, who played a wide range of hands fairly well:

whats makes these situations hard for me is that i would never make plays like the villian. i need to stop putting myself in others shoes, and focus on trusting reads. as fnord says 'you=him!?'
