my experience w/ tommy is that if anything he is a bit too passive (bad UTG raised, 1 cold caller, i 3bet TT on the button he called QQ in the sb), but other than that a great player. i've never seen him tilt of get out of line, though to be fair my sample size w/ him is pretty small.

You either are thinking of the wrong Tommy or maybe only played 5 hands with him. He can get aggro and can tilt hard.

tommy: lanky, maybe 5'8-5'10, friends w/ josh et.al.

i've played literally 2 times w/ him and never once saw him either a) get out of line, or b) get max value (i.e. since he was playing weak tight.

in fact, i played a hand badly against him specifically b/c i thought he was weak tight...it was the TT hand in fact.

some limper, some raise i 3 bet he cold calls QQ in the sb. all call.

flop 973 two spades i have Ts. checked to me i bet tommy c'r fold to me i think he has either a flush draw, a set here (i.e. AKs/AQsnot as likely or 99/77/not likely 33), or TT/88/77.

so instead of 3 betting or simply calling down, or calling the flop and turn and folding river, i decide to call and raise the turn and fold to a 3 bet.

turn falls and he bets and i raise and he 3bets and i almost muck....but then i look at the freaking turn card:

Jx...meaning i pretty much have 6 outs here and can't fold.

so i call despite knowing that it is physically impossible to ever hit the card you need when you make a mistake like that...just karma or some other metaphysical force...

he checks the river and i check behind and he says 1 pair, queens, i say "good" and muck.

barron.. tommy tilts VERY hard, and plays about as spazzy as possible while he is. but he plays very good when he's not and VB's very well.

I don't know about raising the turn but I would definalty raise for value on the river? I don't see what would be so wrong with this unless you are afraid of a boat.

Wow, SS and I finally agree. And to think, it had to be in high stakes.

Side note: has this game been going often? I might be making an appearance this saturday Saturday SATURDAY!
