Dilemna: If I raise this flop potsized, donker folds 95% of the time. Against that particular read, what's your play? Minraise? Calling kinda sucks. I always feel like I'm losing so much value here when I KNOW they fold.

Hey guys,


I am doing my review on PT3/HM in about a week, when HM will release his HUD to private beta testers and when PT3 will release their private alpha.

I am thinking a rating system, based on:

Import speeds
Graphic Design
Functionality
Report speeds(as in bringing up your report, bringing up your graphs, etc)
"Improve your game-ness" lol

Anything else? I have a cpl more but they aren't coming to me. I will prob chronicle it on blog, post a pic of it here and on the other threads. It will be fair and I just want to see which is better.

After treading water for an hour, at one particular table I run into 2 sets in 5 hands, then promptly the 6th hand I have a set of jacks and get a turbofold on the flop. Wheeeeeeee soooooooooo standarddddddddd.
