There was no flush draw gentlemen.

He generally played the hand awfully--I'm not sure he made a single "correct" play.

I would agree with both statements. He either really had you on a marginal hand, thought you were stone cold bluffing, or is not a very good poker player.

That wasn't my point

We were assuming that his opponent was a decent player who played the hand well. . . .and that was the only real hand that we could see hanging on to (save, maybe A-A, K-K, or A-Q).

He was praying Cotton missed and his 7 was good.

I don't necessarily agree with you here, VIA. I don't believe anyone is ever truly pot committed unless they are All in.

If you have $32 behind, and the pot if the guy calls the turn is around $300, you're getting almost 10:1 on your money. Dan Harrington says for EVERY player, there is at least a 10% chance of the player bluffing. Thus, you HAVE to call, or you're making a mistake.

Am I the only one who likes to limp raise preflop with AA KK type hands?
Is it really harder to be a newb?

If you ever start enjoying it get ready to spend countless hours of your life playing.

That is my problem. I enjoy live poker (not so much online) but between my job and my family, I don't find the time to play.

I love the game and all the little things that go into being an above avr. player. LAW knows how it works also. To play great poker is very stressful.
