    this is not a tough spot.

    A super lagg doesn't have AK here nearly enough for u to worry. Check raise the flop and try to get all in on the turn. Or lead the flop, hope he raises, maybe threebet all in, maybe call and stack him on turn. If you folded the river I will shoot your dog.

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    i'll never fold the 2nd (edit 3rd) nuts to this player, even if it is only a one card 2nd (edit 3rd) nuts

    This is used to be a fold, but I am working on my post flop game with hands of this nature. Is there no one here who calls with sooted connectors?

    Get your gun Renton I folded this...BTW I have 3rd nuts and he showed K9.

    with the line you took he'll probably shove a whole lot more than K9 and AK

    i guess im not accustomed enough to seeing this river in this situation to make the right decision, i would have been potfucked by this point, and not really be caring too much if im beat.

    For christ's sake, go to war on this board before the river!

    yea, get all in here. if it means faking weakness like that, ok...but for sure this is not a spot to go for pot control.

    I knew he was gonna bet every street. That is just what he does. I have never seen him push before like this, it kinda caught me by surpise. Why I folded I can't tell you...
