..no. Just donkeys everwhere, and they get lucky...2 lovely hands for you lot
to treasure.

Hand 1: Do they really think that calling a raise like that at turn on a 2
suited flop was getting good odds?  But I see why some of you call it riverstars
now.

hand 2:  With his stack, did he really think he was getting any FE? ...With the
exception of AA, I was getting the odds to call a push, yet he pushed with
K6...interesting play.  But once again, riverstars earns its name.

Um, after your call on the flop, I'm not sure that you're in position to be
criticizing others' play.  A raise is fine, but calling (unless you're planning
on bluffing the turn no matter what comes), is awful strange.  Also, no, he's
not getting proper odds, but if I were him, 3 handed i'm not overly concerned
about the flush draws either.

I imagine you were raising a lot on the button, right?  So it's very possible
that he thought K6 would be a favorite over your basically random hand.  And
with his stack, he needed to double up soon.

Right, so you think anyone with a decent hand will always push on the flop?  You
have never used position to trap or steal before?  I had position, so why not
use it?  If I missed the turn, and he came out with a strong bet, time to muck,
but if he had checked or bet out small, time to steal, no?

As it was, I hit the turn, and he still came out with a bet on his draw, so time
to push.  He might not be overly concerned with the flush if he had any sort of
a hand, but what was he ahead of?  He was behind even to a King or Ace high, so
the call was terrible.

Why would you imagine that?  All my raises that had been shown down had been
decent hands.  Yes, he needed to double up or steal a few blinds soon, but the
time to do the stealing is when first to jam, to get the maximum FE.  It
definitely isnt  when its already been raised, and due to the size of his stack,
the other guy can call any reraise on your part, meaning you are getting zero
FE.  You really want to go to war preflop on K6 off in a raised pot getting no
FE?
