I didnt read the 2nd hand but the first hand.... I was probally the guy who beat you (sw)edit: he bet it...thats another mistake.... why let him take control of the pot ?alota bad play here

Hand 1: you need to raise on the flop in order to find out where you are, i.e. if he has an ace or not. Hand 2: you need to lead the flop for the same reason. if you get raised, i think you can *probably* fold, depending on your opponent.

Out of curiosity, I searched for you on Sharkscope, as these are HU Sit N Gos.These were $5 games... NOT $50.Why did you bother lying?That makes me wonder whether you also changed the actual hand history too.Oh, and the first hand was played awfully... if in fact, it did happen like this.

I used to love Kings, but I'm starting to hate them. The last 5 or 6 times I've had them an Ace always hits the flop. It's starting to get scary. And it's not like I'm letting anyone in cheap either. Then when I bet the flop hard I always get called by some assclown with A-rag. It's making me consider moving all-in pre-flop with them whenever I get them. It would at least make some of the A-rag guys think for a few seconds before calling.

Well you got me James D...this transcript was from a $5 dollar gameI changed it becuase i didn't think anyone would bother giving me advice, knowing I play at such low limits.And it seems that you've just proved to everyone, that you only use this forum, not to learn about and expand your game, but to try to learn information on people to win money from them. now that is rotton.

You don't want someone with A-x to call you pre-flop when you have K-K?? Why not?

It depends on how much you lose the 30% of the time they hit vs how much you win the 70% of the time they dont.
