Re: 2nd pair, turned NFD ($100NLCASH Stars)
Thanks for comments.
Results: I pushed turn on auto-pilot, he had JJ and called quite quickly, obviously.
I'm still not convinced by leading the flop against a passive player who probably won't...

2nd pair, turned NFD ($100NLCASH Stars)

Re: Thin....but good?
OP,
Do you think villain will play 77- and 89 like this? (eg personally I'd rarely value bet these on the river).
Even if he does, I think it would be rare for villain to call the check-raise;...

Re: Tough Spot With Bottom 2 (NL400)
Results?
I was a bit surprised by the replies, as when a "basic TAG with occasional moves" pushes the turn here after your super-strong line I would expect you to be behind.

Re: Postflop KK line
Anybody else not a big fan of the flop check-call?
On the flop your hand is obviously still good a huge % of the time, but not strong enough to slowplay on that super-coordinated board.
