    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Played fine IMO.

    Why would you fold this river getting nearly 10:1?

    looks pretty standard

    Nice hand. Don't fold the river getting those odds. The possibility its a pure bluff alone is enough to call.

    actually it doesnt seem so bad when i look at it now. He turned over QT for 2 pair.

    nothing wrong with the way you played this I think. You cant go into a game thinking you are going to win every hand, just that you are going to win MOST of the hands
    It's easy to shoot fish in a barrell............. Just throw in a stick of dynamite!!

    Before I saw this it looked like one of three hands:
    QT, KQ, or AJ.

    Don't fold the river though with a 10:1 bet. I think he underbet the river.
    Nice hand, he shouldn't have called the preflop raise nor your flop bet.

    I got really sick of 5NL because this happend all too often. Playing my 'A' game for a month then going on tilt because of BS like this lost my 5NL $100 in two days forced me to quit 5NL. I've had more than enough success since changing.

    I'm not saying that you should change, because 5NL my be the right spot for your style right now. But if you ever get frustrated with the unbelievable number of bad calling stations and bad beats, try out 10NL with your same FTR style. I've found that there is a major difference between the two levels at PokerStars.
