outdoing tommy, andy fox, and maybe even TxRedMan!

[Tommy Angelo]

"I usually am frightened to death when I see my name in a post title. Seeing it there with yours, though, caused a sigh of relief."

Well Andy there is definitely some accuracy in mike's post title. He outdid me. Not by folding the jacks. But by talking about it so lucidly and truthfully, and explaining exactly why it could be right to make that fold, when he replied to this...

"You either flop a set and collect a big pot or you miss and fold."

...with this...

"right. except i might decide to call or raise a 9 high flop. because ill like my hand all the sudden. or maybe it comes 3 spades and i have Js. or maybe it comes KQ9 with two suits that i like. or or or. and these things combined happen often enough to matter. and the pot keeps getting bigger and there's someone to act behind me and he's not reading hands as well as i was before the flop so he's raising and im drawing and big pot forming and next thing i know we're at showdown and im calling because im getting x-teen to 1 or whatever and guy shows me what i had known he had in the first place. been there done that. next hand please."
