@ surviva, thanks. that was exactly the kind of info i was after, and hopefully others will jump on and we can get some more profitable discussions going on

@ philly the note says that he C/C'd the flop and C/C'd the turn w/TPNK vs the preflop aggressor. i'm pretty sure i checked the river behind that hand, so i can't tell if he was C/C'ing, C/R'ing or C/F'ing, so i didn't note his river play. also, no need for the "moron" disclaimer, pretty much everything i post in these forums i assume to be prefaced with "i suck at poker so don't necessarily take this advice". might make that my signature actually, a permanent disclaimer. haha. thanks for your time and thoughts.
