First time playing at Party since I started playing 2 years ago. I haven't played ANY poker in a while and I'm afraid I'm very rusty. Will post several hands from this session. I'm playing $25 since I haven't been able to get enough mony into Neteller and I'm not comfortable on this skin yet.

SB is very loose and a bit passive, he made a killing with J7s flopping a str8 against QQ but has lost back some.


Obviously I play both hands very differently.

Why? If he is supposedly oh so tight, what the heck can Stoneburg even beat. Stoneburg says being that tight he prolly doesnt play KT and KJ. Are we really hoping for KQ and a chop? Why not just fold on the flop if we really percieve him as being that tight?
