  1. i've just come out of the rebuy hour with 20k chips (200 bbs). right off the bat i double up jooj42 w/ 2 overs and a flush draw, and i'm down to 14k. everyone else at the table has been very quiet (due to me raising so much), but he's been playing a couple pots with me.

    did i completely overplay my hand on the flop? that is, was the reraise to 1300 bad? and given the reraise, was the all in standard? thanks.

  2. I think you played it fine.
     
  3. Is this a real question? Did you overplay the nuts? Seems well played all around.
     
  4. thanks.

    i know my hand is very strong, but given the tendencies of these donks to call any bet with an overpair, i thought maybe i shouldve just called the 500

    not trying to get it in on the flop is a sin imo
