I got to hear your thought process on this one.

Looks pretty donktastic so far....

Preflop was a brain cramp. Hit the raise button 'cause I was reading here and got lazy. Flop gets checked to me so I bet the bottom to see if I can get folds. BB raises me up so I figure most likely he caught the Q but, meh, I have the beginning of a hand and some outs, so I call.

Turn comes to give me my trips, he checks, I bet, he raises...

He didn't raise preflop so QQ is probably out, AQ is unlikely...KQ? QJ?...but he's playing it too strong....JT for the straight?...middle set for what's now a fh?...would I play those hands that strong with an opp that's willing to stick money in the pot all on his own?....

Turn: 8 ($22, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $10, BB raises to $20, Hero raises all-in $113.55, BB calls all-in $83.25.

Hit perfect on the turn and can't even feel good about putting in all of the money.

I fold every street.

Had a feeling it would be something stupid like that. Still, dump this turkey on the flop. In NLHE you're really best off when you have a few cards to cheer for. With your hand, there isn't much I'm excited about. You caught perfect and had to given heroic action to stack off the donk (with no read.)

Yeah, I guess I'm lucky that I correctly put him on 2 pair...it would've been ugly if I was wrong. One thing I am finding about 6max on Full Tilt though, it is DEFINITELY a fishtank (including me? ).

It's much more aggressive and post-flop intensive.

That I've noticed. Table and seat selection are biggies.
