2/4

Dealt KJo in the CO. Folded to me, I raise to $16. Both the button and BB call. Both players are TAG. (i swear this site is a rock garden I don't know how i win so much.)

FLOP$ 48
[Qd][Th][5s]

BB checks, I bet $30. Button folds.

BB check raises to $60.

I look at his stack (he started with $319) and he has $243 left.

I reraise to $180 he thinks for a long time and finally folds. My guess is KQ or QJ.

Kenny has balls. :) whatcha think? better then my checkraise from last night?

Wow you are agressive. I think this one might be bordering on reckless though. You have a good draw but most likely you are going to be a 2:1 dog. His min checkraise usually means stregnth, since he knows that another $30 is unlikely to get you to fold. I really think you overplaying this one a little Kenny be carefull.

eh.. normally I'd agree with you, but mini raises on pokerroom (barring preflop raises) aren't nearly as strong as on other sites. These guys are aggressive as hell, with or without hands.

I also didn't mention my image was awesome at the time.

If you do this very often it will get you in a lot of trouble, what if he goes all in, well, you have to call. You got bals I give you that , but I don't fancy this play too much, still a win is a win so keep up the good work

Actually I'm impressed. I would just have taken the good odds and hoped to hit, alternatively pushed. With that raise you make it *impossible* for him to call with anything less than Top Two or a set. I would never do it but that's because I *don't* have balls (well... not metaphorically anyway).

If I was going to reraise, it would be all in. Dont give him a reason to call with AQ.

I'd actually be more inclined to call an all-in than that bet if I was him.

Right Kenny has courage, I will give you that.

I swear you make plays exactly like the LAG players in the NL200 live game that I mentioned last time.

I can picture at least 3 players that would make this exact play. :D

Jerry, Frank and I don't know the other guy's name.

Glad it worked for you.
