Ok, Thanks for the posts, been a cool well spoken thread! I will summarize the hand and Hero's thinking during the hand. Analyze and critique away :)Preflop: Hero [8h 8c]Hero is second in the pot, there definitely can be a case made for raising preflop here to try to isolate. In this situation Hero would probably raise 50/50, or 75/25 raising. With the blinds at 50/100 and Hero not in any chip trouble at the point, Hero is trying to make a set then play a big hand(watch out what you with for lol), instead of raising to 400 or 500 and having to fold if any players left to act pushes. He

My image at this point was aggressive but solid, I busted 2 players at this point, showing down strong hands.

Thanks for the posts so far! Some variation on opinions which is why I felt this hand was interesting and have been discussing offline with my friends and decided to post. Here is a little more information about Hero's read. Villian is a Tight Solid Player, who has not step out of line so far. Villian has showed down 2 hands up to the point, one was the nutz, one was second nut. Hero's read on Villian's potential holdings in no particular order, Big over pair AA KK etc,87, 33, 22, 4d5d, 6d4d,ad5d, ad4d,ad2d.After some more discussion I will explain how I eliminated many of these holding a

I am interested to hear your thoughts on why you put villian on middle, bottom set or 2pair whether your right or wrong

Intersting read and response, I will post the outcome of the hand after a few more posts......

Interesting hand from a 180 person SNG last night. Speculation on what the villian hand was? What did the hero do? What would you do?

Got this from Bodog not to long ago.Dear Bill, Thank you for contacting Bodog Poker Customer Service. As you may be aware, our Instant Deposit by Check service was interrupted Wednesday night.

Been there done that!http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...c=75966&hl=

I visited Laughlin for the first time 4 weeks again. I was there Thurs-Sun.Very laid back and peaceful for relaxation. As for the poker I visited every casino and check out the poker rooms. No casino had more that 3 tables going at any one time. I stayed and played at harrahs. There was no NL games going just a 3/6 with a kill. Game was pretty weak loose. They had a "aces cracked" promotion all day saturday that I collected twice so profits there was pretty nice. They run 2 tourneys a day. I played a 70 buy in on saturday only 18 players that paid 4 spots. With 4 left we chopped even

That is pretty sick to say the least, I wish you luck. I probably gone a little overboard but you can't be to safe. I have changed all my online passwords, I closed my bank accounts and opened new ones including a poker only account. Changed my Amex account number. I also subcribed to credit monitoring at equifax.com so if there are any inquiries or new accounts opened in my name I'll know rather quickly. Identity theft is a problem that is only going to get worse unfortunately

Well I'm glad to hear that you did not substain any loss! I would like to know how they are getting the infomation? I lowered my instacash limit to $100, I am also changing my password EVERYTIME I log into neteller, inconveinent yes, but makes me feel somewhat safer. With the online gambling bill changing everything looks like we have no choice but to live with Neteller :(billvan

I believe you have to call them or maybe possible to use the live chat feature.billvan

Here is an update.Got a call from Neteller today, they informed me that they contact the merchants the stolen money went to(payP2P and Pacific Poker) both refused to refund the money to Neteller. However, Neteller then informed me that in a "one time good will" they will refund all the money back to my account themselves. The money was back in my account this afternoon. Hopefully this will be the end of this saga and move forward. Hopefully personal things I have done to increase my own security will limit any chance this happening again and if by some chance it does, I will significantly

Heres an update,When speaking with Neteller I was told I would get a phone call on Friday, that did not happen. I called neteller myself and was told it was still with the investigation team and that they would call me either later today or Monday. I asked for a phone number to call they investigation department myself, he said they do give out the information and someone would call me. That was not reassuring but based on previous posts in this forum I will give it the benefit of the doubt.I had further contact with Pacific poker. They continue to deny anywrong doing even though on Wednes
