    my question is do you call that flop bet? I didn't think he would be ahead of me there with anything but AA.

    wearing the honors of honor and whatnot
    you were +EV to call any flop: you didn't suck out on him. you were pot committed on the flop, his preflop call was pathetic, he sucked out on you, you just sucked back.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    I think he should have reraised all in on the flop to push the others out. You don't want a family pot with a high pocket. It may be +EV to smooth call, but it's better +EV to raise all in and not get greedy.

    As for the call with 33, it was bad, but it wasn't totally horrible. He was last act, there was $33 dollars in the pot already, and the original preflop raiser had a high stack to pay the person holding 33 who had a pretty high stack himself. He was thinking the implied odds were there, though he was stretching the concept a bit. This is exactly the reason you isolate your KK however. Smart players take advantage of odds, and they get better and better with each passing smooth caller.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
