Hadn't played any poker yesterday, but I decided to clear the first part of my AP bonus before bed. I only needed 2 points and I couldnt get in a .5/1 LO8b or S8b game.

I decided to short-buy into a $0.50 NL game. First hand, I get KK in EP, I raise it up - probably too much, but it was 6 handed and picked up the blinds.

This hand came up and gave me the last point I needed to clear my bonus.

Very nice hand. If I was playing it with your cards, the river would have been a 5.

I would like to know what TABLEDAWG355 was thinking calling with little suited connectors UTG in a shorthanded game. Call me crazy, but I thought one needed at least 4 in the pot for these to be worth playing. (This may also be the limit player in me talking)

you should at least have a big stack if you are playing for implied odds.

if he would have pushed me on the flop, I may have folded.
