MAybe not
LOL

Was very happy in league play today as we had some high players today and I took 3 2nds and 1 first so nice

but OK so the hand Im happiest with and it might not be a big deal and realy I cant remember the board except I had A9 and hit runner runner and had 2 pairs with a very flush scary board and I laid down my 2 pair (and this shit was hard) and later found out I lost to a straight not a flush but It helped build one on my finales and some of the people in the league are straight up bad ass and the other are 1/2 ass and the others are like me and for this dude to tell me it would be hard as hell not to cal with top pair and 2 pair made me happy, I dont know if its good or bad but Im reading every board to the point people are telling me HEY U R UP - IM like I NEED A CLOCK look the league has it share of bingo players but when IM HU againste a PLAYER I WANT TO WIN just sharing since USA POKER ONLINE IS a risk. It just made me feel good when I was told I dont know if Id lay down 2 pair

BEtter take the money and run Petey, These flordians have money trees growing in their back yards. They lose $100 they buy right back in over and over, I just wish Id get that heater going when this stuff starts happening. LOL

WTG Dan Abs!!!!
Question to ask oneself in a hand when making a big laydown > "the way the hand has played out, (villain knows I have a hand), would they really be betting into me (or raising) with anything I'm ahead of? (aka.. "what hands can I still beat?") Sometimes (even with what seemed like a big hand) I can really only beat a bluff on the river. Weighing the odds of the % of time they're actually bluffing & what it costs me to call in relation to the pot & how the call will negatively influence my play (ie. will it reduce my stack to a resteal-sized stack or will I still have 30bb's etc. etc.) are just some of the things to consider.
I'll often make what seem like big laydowns in tournament play & for sure at times I'm folding the best hand but I try not to let it bug me at all. I'm there to win the war... not just the battles.
gl in the next ones!!!
