The way you guys were battling, i was surprised you didn't bet the river. Your line would look extremely bluffy. Against most players I think a check is standard unless you don't won't to reveal your hand

I think I made the "idiot" heads up comment, I did laugh though

Nah, I'm pretty sure the guy who said it was sitting between me and villain. If it was, no biggie, we all say stupid stuff live from time to time (not that that was particularly dumb, I was just referring to the generic live comments that so annoy us online players). Just too much time sitting in one place I guess.

And yeah, I really wanted to bet (you heard me call myself a [censored] before checking) but I had a couple reasons I want to see if anybody comes up with.

the 10k and calling a shove idea is capitalizing on the same human instinct that involves having sex in an elevator with a girl you just met in the elevator or the one that drives you to take your umbrella and smack the back of a new york yellow cabbie that pisses the [censored] out of you.

against the right guy in the right mindset, who acts impulsively and is checking his blackburry, drowning redbulls, and pulsating in his neck--go for it baby. i recommend starting in LA against an asian guy or against a random guy with a 50k watch on in workout clothes.

against the calculated, more articulate, calm internet pro who likely has seen this type of [censored] more times than you've watched porn in your life, bet 20k.

then when he shoves say [censored] and fold

good lord, obv the voice of experience, momentary loss of impulse control is not so black and white

this is like 20 completely different possible mental processes if you consider whether you are drunk/sober/going up/coming down and whether the (possibly very) hypothetical girl is hot/avg/dog ugly and whether your umbrella is working and whether it's raining and whether you are married/single/boy-trapped-in-a-girl's body/other, whether you have ever had sex in an elevator, whether it was good sex, whether you caught a diseasej/still have it/are cured, whether you have ever had sex at all/desperately want to/desperately avoiding it (unlikely) ... omg please

Not so thin..this is a black and white protect your bluffs value bet. If you'd ever fire off 20k with QJs here then you need to bet the ace. You start checking back top pair in a spot like this and you'll have a tough time firing 2 or 3 barrels in the future against observant opponents. You are likely ahead, and you gain a ton of value if he doesn't call, too, for obvious reasons. Be interested to hear what he had(and who he was for that matter).
