I'll say it once and I'll say it again: Bally's AC has the dumbest poker players on Earth. It's almost impossible to lose unless the deck bends you over the sofa . . . Of course, it helps when you know all the regulars and everyone tends to stay relatively out of each other's way . . .
.More hands from last weekend to come, including some I lost. I promise.
Regards,
Eric

MD --
I think the range of hands you are putting him on is incredibly compressed. You don't think he makes this play with JT? Or QT? You don't think he could put me on AK/AQ and think I missed the flop completely? Don't you think it's cheaper for him to raise now to find out where he stands? Especially since, if he is ahead, any card higher than a ten on the turn has the potential to either kill any future action or beat him outright? I know TPMK isn't a big pot kind of hand (for me anyway) but for me that was within the realm of possiblity. If the turn blanks, and then he fires out again, I would very likely fold. It would definitely depend on my read at the time.
Iceman and Felonius --
I'm amused that you think I'd be willing to back this hand with my stack. Do you think I got my big stack at this table by accident? I would be willing (and did) call his raise to see what would happen on the turn. Any aggression from him and I would fold, without hesitation. At the time, his flop raise felt too much like a move from someone who felt like I missed a flop with AK/AQ, or someone who felt I had an overpair and would lay down to a representation of a set.
So, I ended up calling after going in the tank for about a minute. Turn blanks, and he checks immediately. Your action?

However, let's assume for a moment that you call his raise. The pot should be about $530 after you call. Let's say a blank comes on the turn and he fires out $350. What would you do then? Would anything chance if the board paired, or if an A/K came?

Villian in this hand is a rather LAGgy Asian kid (different one from my first post) who had built his stack up to about $1500 by flopping a few full houses and and taking some rather large pots of a few people calling raises with suited connectors (and worse) and then breaking them when he hit. At this point, I wasn't sure whether he was very good, very lucky, or some combination thereof. Needless to say, I had reservations about facing off against him with any marginal holdings . . . I had about 2200 behind me, and was sitting directly to his left.
I pick up JJ in the MP. He fires out a raise to $10 and I reraise to $40. Folded around to him, he calls. Flop is apparently a good one for me: T 7 3 rainbow. He checks to me and I make it $75 to go. He goes in the tank for about 15 seconds and then raises me to $225 straight. Thoughts?
