Re: I\'m no good at this live poker thing(Dublin trip report)
I've had Andy to my immediate left for a little amount of time playing relatively deep in tournaments. The hand with the JJ you should really never fold against him - but this is obviously very player dependant. He defends from the blinds very aggressively and will just bet, bet, bet knowing that a good player's late position range to open is fairly big and includes a lot of hands where calling down on all sorts of boards is non automatic.
I can't hate the 76 against him. Although the funny thing is that he is definitely shoving for value with the 99. He has a tendancy to overplay in spots like that. Once he can get a lot of chips in first he'll just think "feck it" - he has often done big tanks in tournaments on top pair or marginal overpairs against a lot of strength. "Pot control" is not something he worries too much about.
In any case, well played and hard luck. You seem to have handled yourself very well and a big result is surely on it's way.
