YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[raindrops]

it's not too bad. i think you should make it 500 instead of open pushing with > 10bbs. although u probably get same results with raising then seeing flop, and then of course if you do raise, you have to ask yourself if you're going to call a push from a bigger stack... but ya i think you should have raised to 500 or 600

unlucky tho :\

o.k. free lesson in schooling donks:

you have to think just the RIGHT amount of time

One of the best plays i've ever made. I call on the turn to set up my value-looking bet on the river.

Well, the river was a value bet. KQ. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Edit: BTW - the way that hand played, if I had top pair, I'm calling that river all day.

[nutfloppa]

Well I didn't really think it was bad. The table was playing pretty tight so I guess the only question I had was if the UTG limper was trying to see a cheap flop with something like a small pair or looking to get tricky with a AA-KK. I needed to double just to be average and with 2 players sitting out and the money already in the pot I don't really see how I could play it any different.

[raindrops]

O that was you sherm.... i wouldn't try to make that play on a 2p2er i had no clue lol

Edit- Nor would I have posted the HH here. lol

No problem. I was interested in what you had anyway. Nice play.
