drzen,

If you're totally convinced this was the right way to play the hand, just write EXPERT above it and post it in the NC thread.

I capped preflop. If he's ever seen me cap and show down, it will have been a big hand. I can't remember whether he has but he won't have seen me get much out of line with my raises. He won't think in figures, I daresay, but he'll figure I raise about the same range he does.

If he showed this much thought, he wouldn't be 68/9.

Just because it is reasonable for JJ doesn't make raising the flop correct. You need AK to tip in favor of raising.

Same deal, but "Hero" is MP3 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and it's reasonable.

Still not enough. You're ahead of JJ and A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but behind AA and KK.

You're ahead of TT plus the chance that villain is spazzing with whiffed overs as well.

Sketchy... these hands are decreasingly likely. But I'm willing to concede that raising here is a coin flip.
