4 spades after the river and a bet and a raise in front of you? Easy fold.You played fine on the other streets.

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

I feel like MP1 is a tad bid early to be isolating.Im not to sure but it looks like you came in 3rd. Flush, straight, set.Not sure if you can fold this river or not.

I think I would have called with 8 8 in that position... call me crazy but I'd be curious to know what's more profitable long-term.

MP1 is my threshold for opnraising with 88. Its also the threshold where open limping becomes counterporductive, IMO, or opendonking as us trouts call it :-) . I say try a session or two of diong this in MP1 or MP2. To me it makes tha hand eaiser to play. I noticed things getting eaiser to play postflop wieh I would raise more to open. Start raising 99 utg. Its a good excercise on post flop skills

many months ago i went to chris ferguson's site, and he said the following:"One of the most important rules of Hold'Em -- Limit or No Limit -- is to never, ever call as the first player to enter a pot before the flop. Either pump up the pot with a raise, or dump your cards in the muck. If your hand isn't strong enough for a raise, it's too weak for a call. This tactic makes it more difficult for your opponents to read your hand, and it makes it impossible for the big blind to ever see a flop for free when you're in the hand."i don't always do this, but i have to agree with kdawg on this one...when you DO do it, it makes a big difference. (plus it gets that aggression factor up in pokertracker hehe) :wink: dave.
