kappa sig sucks

why not rebuy preflop?

[Unknown Soldier]

why are you playing so short? I don't know a very good ss strategy, I'm guessing just push it

Thanks DC... :/
I don't play NL very much, just read GSIH and am messing around with SS which is around 20BB or $10 in $50NL.

I figured I was either going to raise to $3 or call. I decided not to raise thinking I could easily get a couple callers, and if an overcard hit I would be in a tough situation on the flop.

Shove flop. Best non-8 flop you can see and this can easily be a diamond draw by one or both players.

That's what I ended up doing: Any guesses on his hand?

I was just thinking about this hand, and now I think I should have raised pre-flop to $3, fold to re-raise, and push if checked to on the flop.
