if he truly had an enormous and unbeatable hand, he'd check and let you bet out that river, since you apparently were more in love with your hand


you had to tell him "O RLY? I FOLDED KK! I KNEW YOU HAD JJ, DAMN RIGGED SHIT"
So check raising flop, leading turn, calling a big raise then pushing on the river isn't a sign of strength? Because i'm assuming your post was sarcastic and that i should be like "Omgz i came all over the keyboard then i clicked call" ?
I just don't see what he likes enough to raise flop, bet/call turn then push river if it isn't a boat. A straight would raise turn, and two pair i think plays exactly the way he did but i get the point... never fold a boat ¬.¬

On hand 2, i know it was nitty but min-raises always set off alarm bells in my head. Keeping the pot small when the other guy is trying to build it is just hard imo. He bets $20 on the turn, into a like $23 pot. That'd make it $63 on the river and i'd probably be facing an all-in or something big like $40 to call.
You guys call down hand 2 and take note in future? Even if it's all his stack?

Thanks for all the input though, i feel i'm learning a lot from this site
Clar

P.s. - yeah pacific is still a fish fest, but villain in hand 1 is a good player who i've seen a bit of and he's making money...
