25-50 with a straddle

muck faceup, then loosen your tie and roll up your sleeves

strassa,
Does he know anything about your poker history? I think he'll never fold a K, but can be bluffing pretty often if he knows a little about your game.

I think he might check out 2p2 once in a while, not sure though. I really wanted to fold river, but I thought the 1.5:1 ish was probably good enough to justify a call here (he might have a bunch of hands he tries to push me off a chop here). I thought he would probably CR or CF flop with AK, but maybe thats a dumb thought.

Raising the river came to mind, but he'll never fold a king here I think.

how is wall street? id fold pre-flop and the river.

folding preflop is good advice I think. I was playing pretty tight so my range is really narrow here preflop, so I'm probably better off folding even though I'm ahead of his range.

Wall street is great so far, lots of busy work but lots of learning also.

I don't get why you'd fold preflop. From what I've heard these games play super fast, loose, and bluffy.

You chop with about 1/4-1/2 his range if he plays it in this manner. On the flop, q109 is right in your wheelhouse after cold calling pre. I think he would bet flop with any set, JJ maybe, and AK maybe. Any other airish hand he would probalby slow down b/c he is playing v. two people. When he chk calls flop, his range is most likely AK/KK/JJ/AQ/AJ or some goofier hand like j10, qj, a10 etc. Any hand stronger than that he prolly leads.

turn is a clear check. river he can push you off a chop with AQ/JJ, but he most likely bets more in the 5-6k range. He might also check those hands in the fear u have a king. 3500 was such a small bet I think you have to give him credit, he knows what odds he's laying you.

fwiw a call isn't terrible here and probably not a big mistake.
