I cashed out almost all my poker money a while back. I also took a bunch of time off. But I finally made enough at 6-max $25 NL at Bodog to move back up to the $50s. Bodog offers 6-max games at the $25 and the $100 levels, but only full ring (9-max) at $50. Weird.

So I'm trying to remember how to play full ring games. Luckily the Bodoggers make it easy most of the time. If you haven't played there, well, let's just say a lot of these guys are multi-talented: they know how to bluff at the wrong time and call down at the wrong time and fold at the wrong time. But they will also make strong bets with good hands: I see a little less slowplaying here than I remember from Tribeca and other sites.

I get TT in the BB. Two limpers to the button who raises to $2, I reraise to $6, he's the only caller. I have no read except that he's playing with a little less than a full stack.

Pot $13.25. Flop QQJ rainbow. I bet $11, he thinks all the way to the end of his clock and finally calls.

Pot $35.25, he has about $30 left. Turn card is a total blank (5 I think). I check, he thinks about 3 seconds and pushes the rest.

Who calls, and why? Anybody got a better way to play the hand?

I think this is a pretty trivial laydown. I also think if you want to re-raise pre flop you absolutely must make it bigger.

I agree - unless I had a specific note - this would turn out to be 'smartarse with trips/boat' more than 2/3 of the time on the sites I play..
