The board is also paired, and this guy hasn't acted like a complete moron/maniac yet. I think I beat trip 8's and split with random 6's. I lose to JT and boats. Is there something I'm...

This isn't a cash game, where you can fold 99 in this situation. /images/graemlins/wink.gif It looks like you played your 99 for set value - what were you hoping for otherwise??? The board is all...

Re: PS 100+9 - AA - Ugly Flop
OK, I can see the wisdom of checking, but I have giving up initiative. However, now that we have been raised AI (UTG folded), and it's 2000 to call with with approx 3400 in the pot, what do you do?...

Re: KQo in BB--standard action?
I can't believe people who want to call ~1700 into a pot of 180 with TPGK and a flush board. Seriously. If the guy is a donk, there are better spots to take his chips.

Re: KQo in BB--standard action?
Hand 1 is clearly a fold. Why bother with so little committed, and with a good/not great hand? Seriously, if this is heads-up for 1st place, I call, but at 15/30 with 130 BB's insta-fold.
Hand 2...

I'm sure you are beat, but you have 1/2 your stack in there, and you hopefully have some outs. He probably has a medium pair. Maybe he is a donk and has AJ. You must call. This is why you don't raise...
