I like your river poosh in hand 1 as well. You are so unlucky he didn't have a Jack [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Good Lord, I'm running bad the last couple weeks. How come when I slowplay stuff like this, I get burned, but this guy gets bailed out by the Poker Gods. I think I'm switching to Uno...

Yeah, but only after he calls twice with a monster and lets me catch the nuts first... Doh! I think I'm switching from poker to the Sims or something...

Villain was 52/10/1.5 over like 40 hands. Also 52% WTSD and 60% W$SD. Never folds to a cbet.

Was this river push fine? (I know it looks donkish but this guy was sort of a donkey. I thought he'd call with QQ TT obv or a straight.)

not a fan. I think your turn bet needed to be bigger to make this river less awkward. I probably would have leaned to a half pot value bet, but I dunno villian that well. If he floats fairly often I'd definitely go for check/raise on turn or somethin...

Yeah, I kind of get excited with the nuts. The problem is when I turn quads it's hard for me to bet closer to the pot as I really don't want to blow him away. He doesn't really "float" but just calls bets and doesn't neccessarily try and take it away on the turn.

Happy new year everyone! Just back from a long vacation, South Africa was great! But damn I don't see all the problems there getting fixed in the next 25 years.

[/ QUOTE ]
Good choice of country, and you're right with the problems.
Glad to see, you're not one of the many tourists that say stuff like "if the whites wouldn't be so racist all problems would be resolved immediately." The problems they've got down there are way more complex.

Where have you been? Seen Cape Town, Garden Route, and maybe a game reserve? Then you've seen the most beautiful parts of SA. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]

The problems are indeed more complex then that. It would be one big rant if I was going to continue on that subject though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. But I've been to Cape Town, stayed in sommerset west, after that I took the plane to white river, near nelspruit, stayed in a couple of resorts over there near white river/hazyview/sabie, went on a 3day game drive in sabi sands instead of the kruger park (no idea if this was a good choice). And ended my vacation with a visit of a aids awareness project near grobersdal. It was all good, I wouldn't want to live in SA though, I prefer the west coast of the U.S. above the Cape Town area.

Sounds, good. I haven't seen Sabie Sands, but it shouldn't be that much different from Southern Kruger Park. I've visited Kruger twice, and it's just been awesome.
I'm a supporter of the aids awareness programs down there, but, unfortunately, the people that should recognize the threat aids poses to society and themselves - namely the majority of poor and/or uneducated people - simply don't.

Anyway, I haven't been to the US west coast, but I doubt I'll find it better than Cape Town area.
Also, Somerset West is a kind of a semi-beat, it's like new Germany. More foreigners than locals. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

If you should ever happen to go down there again, don't pass up on the Garden Route - it's by far the most beautiful part of SA imo.
