Seems like he spiked his 8. Again probably fold I guess.

As an outside observation: most of the hands you post have to do with you having an ok hand and someone making a strange river bet (implying that you got beat by an unlikely turn or river card). I know these stick out in your mind after the session but they are probably fairly insignificant towards your long term results. There are probably much more interesting hands or things you are doing wrong in the session that you aren\'t even realizing or remember, focusing so much on saving fractions of a bet on the river when you most likely got bad beat.

UTG is this rockish tight old man...um...except for the fact that he straddles here and there. I\'ve never seen a \"tight old man\" stradle. Anyways, he quietly puts his stradle up and is usually done with the hand. Besides the random stradling I haven\'t seen him show any aggression pre or post flop so far, usually just calling down or mucking the river, but maybe he is card dead or cold decked...


HERO is MP2 with 99
UTG stradles, 3 folds, HERO 3 bets, everyone folds, UTG calls.

FLOP:844r
UTG checks, HERO bets, UTG calls.

TURN:2
UTG bets, HERO raises, UTG calls.

RIVER:8
UTG bets, HERO...?

wtf? I can\'t really show much more strenght than I have. Am I ever good here?<br><br>Post edited by: HollywoodDB, at: 2007/05/28 07:20

Yeah, I noticed that too. Sorry. These spots are confusing to me. But, I understand what you are saying.
