heh. Try one more time. QJ missed. I've had those days too. It was fun. I met some really cool people. Too much smoking though.

I didn't really know all that much about DN's tendencies at the time. I agree that a larger turn bet on a draw would be better. Thank you. It was actually really dissapointing getting that close and then going card dead on the last day. Maybe next time.

There are no more streets to get information for after his 8k bet. Maybe I use the term differently than you.If I have a T with a weaker kicker than his (assuming he has a T) why would he want me to lay it down?Does anyone think that a river bet of this size could be a bluff by DN?

It isn't. Also, if he had QQ, I don't think this line totally qualifies as a slowplay. Well, J9 would be made trips, but I guess you meant QJ or something like that? J8 gets there on the turn. Anyways, the effective stack sizes make playing a draw aggressively here difficult out of position. If he raises more on the flop with a draw, he has a tough situation on the turn if he misses.

I like your analysis. A couple thoughts:If he puts me on a hand like QJ, let's say (and he has TP) why not bet harder on the flop or turn to not give me odds to call? EDIT: the turn mostly, since my hand range is so wide on the flop.And why not check to me on the river and let me bluff? (To avoid a tough decision and being bluffed off the best hand, I know)

Firstly, Daniel, if you're reading this, it was an honor to play with you. You are an amazing poker player and a great guy. I meant to tell you that before I left (I was the 21 yr old who busted 18th wearing a black Redskins hoodie). I also meant to ask you about this hand that we played earlier. Congrats on winning it all too.I posted it at 2+2, and got a lot of responses, and a friend suggested I post here to get your thoughts. You can also check out the thread there. I'm sure people would love to hear your line of thinking. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...n=0&page=0&a
