Before you re-raise the flop, there's going to be 930 in the pot already. You want to price out str8 draws, so at this point you might as well push(considering stack sizes), hoping to get called by a jack and not a draw. If not push, raise to around 700+ more basically committing your opponents anyway. As played, your opponent made virtually no mistake in this hand.

Is it really that bad? I dont understand how calling 600 of his 1560 stack on a flop with only a straight draw is not his mistake. It's four handed and I flopped top two pair, am I not trying to draw him in?

Well I guess I need to work on my short-handed play, I know it's a weak spot of mine. Thanks for the input though, next time I'll just shove [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I wonder why the cluster all the seats on one end of the table instead of giving people more breathing room setting them on the 4 corners of the table.

I always hate it when they peek at my cards.

He was open ended and had a over. Your small reraise just kept him priced in.

Yes, you do want to get action with your two pair but you also want to win pots and not get outdrawn.

They're probably going to update the software soon to throw a seat in each corner. I'd think?

I imagine it's just not something fully coded in yet. We have the ability to run games with any number of players at the table, I think up to 10.
