What does the title have to do with the hand? Nothing of course, but Hendrix is the man.

Villian is a semi-decent player, in this game it means he knows the values of hands but thats about it^^

Comments?

I got to thinking of ways he could have me beat after I had raised. It didn't seem likely he'd bluff AK in this spot but thats the only hand I beat now that I think about it. I guess he must have made a weak call preflop then? Maybe 88-99? Anyways how's it look?

If he re-raises you, you have to fold. All you can beat is 99 or 88 that I can fathom. Maybe, he has ATs and is just really bad, but I wouldn't think so. I would think that with AA-QQ, he re-raises PF, though. If he just calls, I have no problem with a check on the turn and checking or calling $10 or less on the river.

Rest of hand when I wake up.

this is pretty standard

btw why are you playing on stars

I don't think he can withdraw, but I could very well be mistaken. I hate that site now.

I like Stars for SnG's and I love the gameplay and the software, but the fact of the matter is that it's blown up and they don't offer much to new players or, to be honest, broke players to lure the fish in. I was making good money on Stars, but I had to play 30-35 hours a weeks at 4-5 tables at a time to do it.

Party and UB have so many offers and benefits for players that you can make more money in half the time because of the players that are there. On Stars, you're not gonna hit a 4 or 5 handed 30/60 limit table with 2 fish. That's just the truth.

This trickles up and works its way up through the other games. .5/1 NLHE games on Stars are tougher than the 2/4 NLHE games on UB. The .25/.50 PLO games are tougher than the 1/2 PLO games on Party.

Their lack of customer appreciation is based on arrogance that stems from them having 2 WSOP champs that won their way in because of their abundance of satellites. They're making their money and I'm fine with that, but I go where the action is and it's not there.
