[Jason Strasser (strassa2)]

Errr

The hand and format was fine and the hand itself was great.

I just dont like the street-by-street nature of the analysis of this hand. It's just not as interesting as it could be. None of these three good players considered what they were trying to represent, and instead said stuff like 'he has a weak ten so i bet'. I guess soss mentioned he wanted to rep KJ, but as I pointed out in the above post, probably the best way to do this was to bet the flop. Closing your eyes and pretending you have KJ is not as effective as taking a line KJ would normally make. I think even more importantly is that your opponent probably figured you for a straight or nothing type of hand, which allowed him to make the call with middle pair. If you bet the flop you will have a much easier time to represent many hands that are ahead of middle pair.

You need to be more conscious of the overall image/pattern you are giving off in a hand and paint the picture you want your opponent. By giving street by street anyalsis there is no opportunity for this.
