    Just saw it.-Duration of the movie is extremely short.. (roughly 80 mins)-The cam-corder perspective has its advantages and disadvantages-The monster itself, and the battle with it, is siiiiiiiiiick-Action and suspense was great and there were some comedic lines from Han-I thought the ending was horrible.. don't want to spoil anything thoOverall good movie, but I only wished they made the movie longer and that the ending would answer more necessary questions in the movie

    I've sat with this villain on my left for the past 2 hours, no big confrontations, just small blind battles here and there. If I ever raised with a real hand, he would call and bet the pot on the flop 100% of the time, no matter what he held in his hole cards. If I played back at him, he would fold 90% of the time.

    Is This Angle Shooting?

    Not an actual angle shot, but I think what you did was wrong for one reason. The player is thinking about the hand and you interrupted his thought process with a question that could wait. I doubt you would like it if you were considering your play on a key hand and someone bothered you.
    Also, in your own thought process, you might want to know how many chips your opponent is holding to explain his future actions. But yeah, if someone asked me a question while I was in my thinking process, I would punch him.

    you know you're playing a fish when he says...

    There are no fishy comments in the following hand, but actions speak louder than words.PokerStars Game #11899295347: Hold'em No Limit ($0.25/$0.50) - 2007/09/06 - 02:07:09 (ET)Table 'Ain' 6-max Seat #5 is the buttonSeat 1: Lakeshow209 ($120.60 in chips) Seat 2: soldatti ($52.90 in chips) Seat 3: Merby ($195.55 in chips) Seat 4: SONY888 ($50 in chips) Seat 5: verygud ($49 in chips) Lakeshow209: posts small blind $0.25soldatti: posts big blind $0.50*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to Merby [2c Jh]Merby: folds SONY888: folds verygud: folds Rysare joins the table at seat #6 Lakeshow209: raises $1.50 to $2soldatti: calls $1.50*** FLOP *** [Qs 3d Ad]Lakeshow209: bets $2soldatti: calls $2*** TURN *** [Qs 3d Ad] [4d]Lakeshow209 is disconnected Lakeshow209 has timed out while disconnectedLakeshow209: checks soldatti: checks *** RIVER *** [Qs 3d Ad 4d] [Kd]Lakeshow209 has timed out while disconnectedLakeshow209: checks soldatti: checks *** SHOW DOWN ***Lakeshow209: shows [5c 4h] (a pair of Fours)soldatti: shows [Jd Ah] (a flush, Ace high)soldatti collected $7.65 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $8 | Rake $0.35 Board [Qs 3d Ad 4d Kd]Seat 1: Lakeshow209 (small blind) showed [5c 4h] and lost with a pair of FoursSeat 2: soldatti (big blind) showed [Jd Ah] and won ($7.65) with a flush, Ace highSeat 3: Merby folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 4: SONY888 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 5: verygud (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Observe how soldatti has *two* opportunities to steal the pot from a disconnect and chooses to check instead of betting. This table had *No all-in protection*. The only way this hand is better, is if Lakeshow ends up having the Qd for the nuts and takes down the pot while disconnected.
    Not really fishy.. just those type of players that would check a hand down due to his opponent being disconnected, than send back the money to the disconnectee.

    Well before I read the results, pre-flop I would limp but you decided to raise. Flop, I cant see how his "quick call" = weakness. Time tells are so unreliable imo. There wasnt any flush draws on the flop, thus villains call could be a number of hands that have you beat (KJ, AJ, J10, QJ, a set). Turn was another blank, thus mabye keeping villains hand in ever better shape. His min raise does seem like strength. I would fold here and not pursue any deeper in this hand.River, your check might have given villain the impression that you werent going to continue in this hand, so his weeeaak $4 bet was just to keep you in this hand, he obviously didnt want you to leave. Another fold here, I dont think I can ever shove here.But yet again, you had yours reads and used them, only to lose to his AK.After reading the results, villain played his hand pretty bad and sucked out, what can ya do. But overall, I dont think shoving the river is anywhere near EV+ unless you have a GREAT read on villain, but you obviously had the wrong read on the river when you felt he was weak, where he actually did hit his ace and lured you in.
