Can I speak to Bob Saget aka Danny Tanner? How 'bout The Olsen Twins?

The converter was having issues with me here. Weird since I just posted something using the converter, so I converted it my own way. Close enough.

Yeah. I'm a bit bored.

If UTG doesn't call the turn, I raise there, but I called hoping to raise the river and take a second bet from him or a third bet from the BB and 2 more from UTG. THAT would've been so much sweeter... OK, that's what I expected. I'm really surprised that the BB didn't raise or at least that UTG didn't call the second bet on the river.

WTF is UTG doing folding with that good odds after calling the initial river bet?

In limit that is a good fold, you dont bluff on the river after a bet and a call.

no it isnt... this guy calls the initial bet on the river and folds to the raise.. thats either a bad fold or a bad initial call of the river bet, take ur pick

I understand what you're saying Av8, but a bet saved is a bet earned. I think his initial river call was a "pot's too big to fold" call and it was shown to be a dead money mistake as he was reassured that he was 0% to win this pot with whatever he had. I play with him quite a bit in the SH 30/60 games and I have his email. I'll shoot him an email. Hopefully I get a response on the hand or he can send me his copy of the HH.

I seriously think he had a pair on the turn with and AT or so. I would've played that hand similarly outside of PF with QJs, especially if they were spades with the overcards and backdoor draws. I'd bet he put me on a straight. The BB was pretty bad which is why I expected 3 or 4 extra bets on the river by checking the turn.

it would be interesting to know what he had... maybe that would help to understand what he was thinking

NH, by the way it's Bob not Bill.

Yeah, it is Bob. I was talking about watching Troy later that night when I made the post and all I can think is that I thought:

Brad Pitt > Angelina Jolie > Billy Bob Thornton

or I just completely brain-farted.
