    River: K ($72.5, 2 players)
    Hero checks (i thought about bet/folding, but this time i decided to check and see what happens), Button is all-in $55.4, Hero tanks and thinks for a long time with his gut telling him he still has the best hand but folds.
    Uncalled bets: $55.4 returned to Button.

    Results:
    Final pot: $72.5
    Button shows 9s 8s

    ------------

    couple orbits later, same villain...

    77/44 probably calls the turn too since they have a bunch of outs, maybe even 88

    Hand 2: I'd just move in.

    edit: Sometimes I might fold, just don't tell anyone!

    OMG I was right about hand 1. Gabeowned

    Seriously though, I don't know what I was thinking. I was like, well he can't have a King if he had the flush draw, obv. I'm stoooopid.

    so what did BB do in hand 2??? did he fold??

    id probably shove flop in hand 2 but ive been looking at these spots lately so gabe is probably correct. given we have a spade makes me wanna shove

    ugh...i definitely DO NOT want this guy at my table.

    he runs nitty 16/10, but he can make moves.

    for hand 1, at first i was thinking bet/folding is good. but if he can push for all his stack when i check, he can probably push over a blocking bet.

    i made a mental note to myself when he raised the flop in hand 2, that the previous hand was a set up to a real monster, and this could be it. if it's 2 pair, i have a lot of outs, if he's got the flush draw, i'm ahead. damn it all! GA/\/\B00000L!!!!!

    Hero pushes, Villian insta-calls and flips QJ for the nut straight.

    both hands check river. the only reason tens and jacks would bet is if he knew you had QQ and he knew you would fold.

    hand 2 is tough. would this opp raise here with TPTK? or a draw? i think he would with a monster draw, possible but probably unlikely with a flush draw and unlikely with a straight draw. he could have a hand like TJ though.

    it's a tough spot. maybe you should just fold since whatever he has you're a coinflip or slightly ahead. and you're behind to a wide part of his range.

    i don't blame you for pushing here.

    hand 1: If a guy is good enough to turn a made hand into a bluff nh, seriously never put anyone on a made hand turned into a bluff 200nl and below. You played this very well.

    hand 2: I probably fold because I just never see people raise draws at 50nl unless they're aggro.

    Hand 2 is an easy fold.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
