    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    Yuck. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say the first bettor has 88-1010 and the second guy hit a set. Dunno. Would it be awful to just fold here?

    Then again, you're getting 3-1 with a strong overpair and backdoor flush draw. Maybe just call, hope to peel off a K or spade, and see what they do?

    Yuck.

    call, folding is definitely weak, raising is bad because it commits you and you dont need to do that with position. im raising a bet-call on the turn and folding to a bet-huge raise

    This is a tough one. On one hand I would be more worried about the call than the initial bet to the flop as he could be trying to steal this pot figuring you for two overs.

    I wouldn't be suprised to see that mgajash has a holding like 9's, 10's or J's and Niner395 has Ax of Spades.

    Do you have a read on either player as that would help greatly with the decision process.

    I don't like the call option though. What are you going to do if a spade hits the turn and either player puts in another pot sized bet or pushes? I think I would either raise or fold here with the decision being read dependent.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I like a call here the best. Folding is pretty weak. Raising seems like it would just build the pot and make your hand harder to get away from later on. If either has 2-pair or better you will definitely get more action after you raise. If they have a weaker hand they'll probably just fold to a raise, unless either likes to chase draws for horribly bad odds. I think you should just call and re-evaluate on turn.

    Does folding seem weak just b/c he has KK ? I don't know. What other hands besides PP call PF and then call a 5xBB raise? Then smooth call a pot-sized flop bet? If he doesn't have a set, he's sure doing a good job of repping it.

    working myself up to FTR fullhouse status while not giving 1 solid piece of advice
    i have a request - SAMSONITE _ PLEASE CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER....It's making me sick to see that crusty bag -

    Bob, I would guess flush draw or set - My move is usually to re-raise, but I play with the Fishies at 25NL -
