Re:Is this flop play bad?
I usually don't like just a call here, but since it's the later stages and you want to get max value for your big hands, I think flatting is your best option, especially with a non-threatening board like this. This looks like a stop n go move, and chances are, the villain has air, a small pp, or something like A7 (which he may have called your raise with). Let him do the betting, it looks like he wants to push you off a mediocre hand, so let him try.

Re:Should I have called this draw?
insta-call. you are ahead of any hand other than top set (still nearly a flip) or a higher flush draw, which is highly unlikely. if you were to fold anywhere, it would be pre after the reraise.

Re:Pokerstars Super Nova Status VS Fulltilt Rakeback
I find myself in the same quandary... I'm a lower stakes grinder, and 9-table 50NL full ring games for a couple hours a day (2k hands on avg). I'm close to achieving Platinum status on PStars in just a couple weeks of play. I doubt I'll play enough to achieve SN b/c I only play $50 full ring, let alone SNE in the near future. I love FT, but I already have a non-rakeback account (I have sent numerous emails to cust support trying to sign up for RB but with no success). Same with UltimateBet and Carbon Poker. I don't feel like I'm getting the RB that is available out there, ...

Re:$2-5 Cash Live OOP with AA very deep
Re-raise pre. Since you did not...I would C/R flop everytime, I agree with SJU, if it goes to showdown you can possibly get away with c/r with air later. Highly unlikely he hit his set, so get your money in good when you can. If he shoves, his QQ or KK must be good to him as you have a draw or TT/JJ/top top. Playing it small here may have worked in your favor in this case, since K was coming no matter what!

Re:Proper call when in BB?
Any reads' I like to fold here. There's a decent chance he has JT dominated with AJ, AT, KJ, KT, JQ, QT. If not, then he has any A or small pocket pair, which is what you can hope for. He most likely isn't shoving with any 2 random, so I know I'm most likely far enough behind to fold and wait for a better spot, considering this is a quarter of my stack. Mathematically you may be getting the decent odds, so a call isn't awful, I'd let it go though.

Re:Sick post flop BB
If you wanted to avoid this, yes, jam the flop. Either way you are getting it in. The problem with checking is if he checks behind you you only have one card left to catch if the river is a blank. Since he shoved though you got what you wanted and this was also the correct play.

AA/KK/KK - back to back to back. I lose ALL THREE.
This is the worst three hand run I've ever had. Close to cashing in $10 (2500 player) pokerstars nightly. Well above the average stack and I get KK all in pre-flop, 11 hands later AA all in pre-flop and 2 hands later KK all in on the flop (to a non-threatening board) and lose all 3. So maybe not completely back to back, but pretty damn close.

Catching my opponents bluff...
I'm pretty sure this was an easier call than it looks, especially because I made the call without a pair, but a lot of people laughed at the table when I made it. Can anyone back me up here' I put my opponent on TJ or a busted flush. Props to me.
