    Default defending my blind

    I had won 83% of my showdowns at this table and every hand I had showed down was a good one, I noticed the guy who raised was on the button and it could of been a steal, he could easily of had AK or something but I thought Id show strength to find out.

    I caught someone trying to steal on Paradise today. Called from BB with

    Hit my two pair and he hung around for his runner runner straight 2-6 holding .

    Have taken some really uncool beats there today and I'm still up 20BBs. I also raiesd with a legit hand that some guy defended his blinds on. I had AK, flopped a K, he called with J8 on the flop, with no pair or draw. Turn 8, river 8.

    I notice at Paradise not very many people will cap it with a hand that is anything less than the nuts. Some people could have taken me for some serious cash, but they are so timid that it minimizes the losses. But they hang around with out much and really pay you off. Lots of 3 way pots where me and someone else are capping, with one other guy just hanging around calling. I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass to check the histories.

    First off... whats your handles there guys? Mines obvious...

    This play is pretty standard... EXCEPT... you didn't say you had a read on the guy or not. Without a read, I hesitate to push this hard. If you know he's capable of stealing, AND he's capable of folding, then pushing this hard is ok.

    Mine is the same as it is here.. I didnt have any reads on this guy as such, he hadnt played many hands and could seem quite tight, I am thinking it was AK which he didnt want to follow through with.

    The whole table was somewhere in the 50-60% to see the flop, he seemed the type of player capable of making use of position. Thats the only read I had on him...

    I'm AlGolagnic. Just started there a few days ago since I'm doing bonuses with PSO for awhile. But I love it. It's been treating me right.

    Deposited $200. With the $50 deposit bonus and some good days, my balance in there is $404.

    Guess this means you had a hand when you reraised me one time that I raised your BB from the cutoff. You had about 4 hands on me. I had a hand, but missed the flop.

    I was like "You little fucker" but didn't wanna get crazy when I missed.
