i wish you'de explain instead of just doing that...

I'm with mr. AA here, I think its a fold to the minraise because, well, why are we calling?

once he checks turn I am not sure how much I like betting, but I think we need to since we floated his flop with nothing and he might have a pair or something that needs to fold.

And river I like, because I put him on a one-pair hand and he should fold it most of the time. JT is a very good possibility, as is like T9 or even TT or maybe something that picked up a backdoor flush draw. Whatever he has, I sure don't think its strong enough to call a shove, and our range is full of big hands (any overpair or big set is perfectly reasonable)

i like the push on the river, and im assuming its ur favorite way to start a session cuz it worked.

I'm with unkown soldier on this one, although against some guys, flop and turn can be fine so I don't hate it. I think after turn he just doesn't fold enough on riv tho.

WTF -- when are we JUST CALLING his flop min-raise with an overpair...like 5% of the time? In fact, if I saw this line I'd think that we were the ones holding j-10. Not to mention, river looks exactly like what it is, trying to push him off of a Q. Maybe I just don't play with you enough, but do you play k-10/QQ/JJ this way?

this is a pretty dry flop. i could definitely show up with any big hand (overpair/set/etc.). none of which is too relevant since we have no history.
