Re: Been playing all wrong, or the new long term?
I was not involved in either the hand or the conversation, how about trying to read what was written and not what you think is written? Also it was a between hands conversation, not a planned speech....

Re: Anybody do this?
That would only be useful I think if you are gathering data to make one last run, and want to know when you should quit.
It is not unusual to go up very fast and then go card dead for the rest of...

Re: 6/12 Live: AQo in the CO
You are a coin flip to any pair UTG is holding if in fact he has a pair. Of course if he does not you are only behind to AK preflop.

Re: Bet this river?
Nasty flop against players like this, uglier turn and river. I don't read minds, but I think they are concerned you made a flush. You have to see the end on this hand imo, and in this case I would...

RTFQ, Poker Players, not degenerate gamblers.
