[crocd99]

ok here is the hand i busted with in the stars mill... i really thought that the sb might of been pretty strong here because we were close to the money and he seemed to have been stalling but it would of only been 800 more to call him so that was a must call. the bb was a nut. just moving chips in all over the place. didnt really think about his plays. so i didnt think he had aa or kk. i figured him for 99-jj. so do you make this call or should i have folded.

Given your reads and given that I/we are playing to win, I do the same given your reads. If you had a read on 'Dubai' as a really solid/good player, I'd likely lay down, but not against an apparent LAG/maniac or whatever....so, nice play..bad result.

[Rocketwadster]

I would have raised more pre-flop, as you already had 2 limpers in the pot. As it were, you were giving many of the people involved in this pot great odds to call. This will also help you in your later decisions if someone comes over the top of you (or puts you to an all-in decision), as you will have better odds to call/push (at least I think it does...)

It didn't matter in this hand, as I can't realistically see you folding there to the push(es).
