    Outcome: SB wins $25.40.


    Hand 3:

    (I couldn't find the hand history for this one, but I raised $.50 and someone pushed all-in for $11. I decided given the chance that someone would have aces (about 1 in 22), it was a bad risk to call. He showed queens).

    Hand 1: You lost less money than I would.
    Hand 2: WTF do you think the SB has?
  3. #3
    Hand 1: I try really hard to get it all in on the flop, I always believe they hold one club. What can I say, I pay off flopped flushes. I really pay off flopped sets.

    Hand 2: He's at least got a seven, yes. But I haven't played with .10NL players in a while...
