  1. We had both been playing back quite a bit at each other with some three bets pre. I tried to slow the match down preflop. And this went down.

    I obv resucked. I bet this flop, and expected him to raise but pretty much eliminated an A from his range. When he raises, I obv cant just call, its a fold or shove. I felt with a shove I can get him off a slightly better 8, and prevent many scare cards from getting me to showdown. I think it is pretty bad to just call it off here with a bare flush draw.

    I am not sure what he was thinking but I am looking forward to it. Interested to hear from a good player.

    I am in final four if you want to rail

    If you want to get technical you posted asking for hand advice in the poker discussion forum when there is clearly a hand advice forum available.
  10. would min raise pre, and not stop min raising every bet made post flop - just for fun of course.
  11. riverdowns you can't be serious.....I guess I will stick to p5's for humor and 2+2 for strategy.
