This. I think the initial shover probably has a flush draw, and the other has a hand with a suited 9. Pray that they both have diamonds and yell HOLD as loudly as possible.

I thought outloud to myself that I might just be guessing by raising all in - yet I still did it because I thought that I represented a very strong hand.I think calling the raise preflop oop is the best play. I think folding preflop with 99 is way too weak, while reraising oop bloats the pot unnecessarily and puts us in a terrible spot if we are re re raised. After the turn, I can definitely see an argument for check folding. But as played, if you were the villain, what would you call me down here with?

With an opponnt that has a smaller stack than you, I wouldn't be trying to induce an all in by your opponent. I think it is best to just pick up the blinds preflop

I scream at the monitor...Very tough decision. If you think you can outplay your opponents, i would lean towards folding. I'd rather not put it up to lady luck at this point.

Pretty easy fold preflop. Unless you are trying to create some sort of image to exploit later...

I think any hand that beats you probably check raises the turn, since it looks like you would be committed. This line by the villain probably means a flush draw (and I would bet small on the river to possibly induce a bluff). I think as a large stack, he probably would have overplayed top pair on the flop.

The guy who bet is the only guy I'd be willing to play a pot with after the flop....Does anybody else think this? What hands flat call like this in a $5 tourney? I think TiguwiVW could possibly have just a mid pocket pair. As played, I would definitely fold though. No reason to compound your preflop raise mistake.

Alright, this was the answer I was looking for. Thanks!

i thought it had something to do with internet and cookies. so when do I get my cookie?

I had to reformat my computer...is there anything I need to do to make sure I continue receiving rakeback?

Yeah, I'm done too, good night every1

Well I for one feel much safer now that Bush has invaded Iraq and stopped all possible future threats.

I think I've articulated myself just fine. Maybe it was a bit strong to say 'ashamed' but I definitely do not like the path this country is currently following.

Do you ever think of how circumstantial where you live is? I mean, you could have been born in Iraq and absolutely hate America. It's kinda like being born into a religion. DUCY

Alright, then why are you not also professing your pride for France and Canada?

Hope.

Actually I agree with this I guess.
