The players name was mvpsports1 so I am pretty sure it is the one that posts here. I had allready check raised him once with nothing so I was really hoping he would think I was just stealing the pot from him. I am also pretty sure he did not know who I was and I would like to know my stats the 50 or so hands I played with him.

Here is the hand. Should I have just called the flop in the hopes that he would think my hand was not strong and let him fire again on the turn?

All thoughts welcome, and what did you have MVP?

He could´ve had 9-3 . It was HU and you checked, he was trying to steal it right there. I think I bet the flop when heads up like 99.9999999999999% of times. I bet 1.5 there. it only takes about 47% of folds to be profitable...looking for small edges all the time

I also like the lead out for different reasons.

I like to steal those flops a lot. Leading out when I have it gives my future steal attempts credibility.

I do bet flops like that from the blind regardless of what I am holding 95% of the time, I guess the fact that I flopped a monster made me play it poorly. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Man... way to throw me under the bus there Stealth... The way that session went, if it was today, I probably had AA... Since you gave me ABSO-fucking-lutely NO clue as to when I played this masterpiece... I'll have to do a little research...

BTW... I would either lead out or check/call... Maybe you coulda got another ill advised bet out of me...

A bomb huh?

This is funny.....considering I think of myself as possibly the most weak-tight player in the history of poker.

I am dead on break even huh? Well that is a little odd. Have I showed down any hands?

Wow... my PFA is pretty strong there... a big 1.82 huh... Probably cause I like limpin AA and KK in LP... I will say in my defense, that ONLY losin $5 is a pretty good day for me...
