[fast short handed nl stars 2-4 blind table]

i wouldn't assume that he had it form the way he's played the hand.but why would he be getting so involved? the only question is whether or not he is a particularily good player.most players are gonna get very active with aces in that situation...which is what i think he has, i think hes lost his mind with a pair of aces.are you gonna say what happened?

[a point.]

the point is, i just f**king hate it when you log off a site and there is a goodbye message saying thanks for playing... f**k off, if i have just done my bollox then i dont want a wave goodbye.

[you know you play too much poker....]

when you have a reoccurring nightmare where you have aces in the big blind, with someone all in for $2ooo and your laptop is in one long loss of connection!TheWatchMan.

[changing your read mid hand.]

i was being sarcastic hot shit.

[changing your read mid hand.]

it was on ladbrokes (username - allshookup), which i have no qualms telling, and americans cannot play on there in any event. i play on stars if your so insistant on coming to play such a fish, username is funnily enuff TheWatchMan. i assumed i would get a lot of unconstructive, useless, criticism when i posted this reply. esp from rock's who feel that value and conservative plays are the only way to play and would never make a big bluff. you do get a feel in any game of poker.sapphire tiger made a good point.. ty.friendly forum.

I believe that conventional no limit holdem says that if you can be reasonably accurate in putting your opponent on a hand then you should run with it, ie play there hand as best you can to make the most money/chips.Here is an example of when i sensed weakness and it went horribly wrong, i would like some opinions.I was playing No Limit $2.50-$5 online (6 handed).. I began the hand with $450. I made it 30 to go from underthegun with KT offsuit (sue me).I got one caller from the small blind (who had app. equal stack), and then came a flop of A82.He checked, and i proceeded to bet $50, and (not immediately) the button player called.This is where i decided that it was a crying call, i.e he did not like the situation he had got himself into..i'm not sure why i thought this, probably recall.The turn came an offsuit 8. My opponent again checked.I decided to wait a bit and check, in the hope that he would think i had an ace, but was afraid he had called me with middle pair and hit trips.. (so the idea was that id make a big bet on the river, and i was almost sure he was weak).The river came the queen of diamonds, for a final board of A288Qand somewhat to my suprise my opponent made a bet of exactly $100.from my read of the entire hand my opponent was weak...So sticking to my guns, not too quickly, i reraised all in for another $250, or pushed $350 in the centre.he called in a shot with.... QQ.The question is, as i was right and he had neither an ace or an eight, am i wrong to go with my judgement?can you change your perception of someones hand, or account for them hitting a set on the river...?My first post...Tom.
