Re: Live 2/5 NL--Pocket 10s as an overpair
It sucks to admit this, but I have been buying in short a lot at 2-5 lately because I've been running cold. I'll put more on the table once I feel like I have a handle on the feel of the game.

Re: $400 NL Tough JJ hand #2
I better start off by saying that I have been getting killed while holding overpairs lately.
Regardless, I think you played this one fine. I'd have to have a sick read on someone to give up to...

Yeah, $30 would have been much more appropriate preflop in most live 2-5 games--in this one, $35 would have actually been better. It was my first...

Live 2/5 NL--Pocket 10s as an overpair
It's my first hand at the table at the Ventian where they never make you post. I sit down with $200 and the villians have me covered.
I'm in middle position and see pocket tens. I raise to $20,...

Re: Standard? Calling down with QQ $25NL

I was a lot closer to folding preflop than re-raising.
In my experience people don't re-raise light in $25 NL, even over the top of a min raise. Not the tighter players anyway, and...

Re: Standard? Calling down with QQ $25NL

I reraise pre-flop. UTG's min raise might have caused villain to think UTG was weak. Villain's 3bet range here is probably a lot wider than QQ+, AK. If not pre-flop I'm certainly...

The villian checks to me. I bet $50.
As soon as I make the bet, I lower my head so the villian...

The way you bet it, you look like two big cards putting in a weak c-bet. You can't give up so easily.
