Depends on how passive/aggresive he is.

Check/call river is fine, but lead river would be better against a station.

If you're running well, lead river, if not c/c [and get shown Q9o] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

leading against unknown means u assume all unknowns are stations? i think tripp-ing this board is too strong. c/c gives a chance for them to make a mistake...right?

I just meant that if you had a better read on him and knew he was a station, leading would be better.

Although most unknowns are stations. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'd always lead this river vs an unknown.

anybody listen to anything good while seshing?

i will only play to "Ill Take Your Breath Away" by Sarah McLachlan (very mellow, as i cant play to anything hard anymore. used to play to Static X...but that never went well =).)

[/ QUOTE ]

lately i've had "Let's See How Far" by Matchbox 20 on repeat

The beat/drums keep me alert and its a good song

[/ QUOTE ]

Couldn't listen to this one while I play but [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Rob Thomas' music.

[Split Suit]

hmmm...maybe it was just spidey-sense telling me it was busted hearts...and there was more value c/c&gt;b. but i think i agree that better line for most spots is bet
