JackA
11-23-2006, 12:11 AM
Hand 1: Both UTG and CO were fairly new, and UTG had played pretty weakly so far. Great I flopped a set, but so did someone else I presume so this pot is probably a split. I'm wondering if I should have gotten out on the flop with the raise and re-raise? UTG is very short stacked. CO is marginally so.
My though on re-raising all-in was to drive out the CO, but I now think this was stupid. They weren't going anywhere.
Edit: In the back of my mind was the thought that CO was putting "squeeze" on me since UTG was already all-in. He wanted that 47 cents all to him-self! I wasn't going to let that half dollar go! In hind-sight, and after thinking about this I probably have CO WAY too much credit. I thought he was squeezing me, but in reality he was thinking "OMGWTFBBQ!11! I GOT ME HAND!". /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hand 2: UTG was very new to the table. Maybe 3 hands. No real reads. I feel like I should have gotten out on the turn to the bet. I checked to see where I was, and got raised, but for some reason I couldn't drop the KK there. I suppose I can justify it by saying that if a K came down I was probably stacking this person, but it seems like a leak.
