Is this the kind of hand you just lose your money on? Do you guys fold to that checkraise? (I would have if he had a full buy-in, I think)

I'm generally starting to lay down TPTK to all-in bets, but this one I thought I should call.

From my own experience, Ive learned a little trick that has worked at the lower stakes so far. With TPTK, if you are the one betting and someone else is calling, you are usually ahead. Just watch the board for draws or obvious hands. If with TPTK you are the one calling, you are probably not in possession of the hand that Wins $ Showdown.

Dont go pushin all in every time either - that doesnt count. :o

very good way of thinking about it. i usually draw the line at reraises. If i get reraised, they usually have the goods. most of the time the low limit people are so passive, the only time they'd ever even notice the raise / bet button is when they have a monster.
