um, fold?

Easy fold for me. AK, and hell, any Kx whips you. JT, a set, two pair, etc...they all have you pwned here. Find a better spot me-thinks, especially with the aggression the guy is showing on the turn.

QQ is not the nuts. You need to be able to let it go.

Thanks for replies guys, maybe for more experienced players this was obvious situation, for such a n00b like me it was tough decision and I'm happy I made a good laydown.

If you are a super noob spend a few days reading the posts from the previous year and a half. There is a ridiculous amount of information on this site that will help your game like you wouldn't believe.

I cant believe it NOW, I'm scared what it will be in the future...

I printed out ttanaka's preflop strat, and I play grup 0-3 hands (+all pocket pairs)for now (tightass, but very profitable on loose micro tables), I apply Rilla's bankroll management advice ($350 roll and $10NL tables)

For now, my favourite posts are:

- 6max hands dump of SmackinYaUp
- Aokrongly's posts on psychology, tilting, aggression, position
- "H@LLINGGOL" thread and jokes about babies LOL

Are any other "must read" posts apart from stickies? I DAFS'ed archive on postflop play, I guess postflop play is not simple to put in a rigid formula, experience rulez here

I don't really have any posts that I'd reccommend....but just search around and you'll find some really good stuff.

PM me sometime.
