@loololol jus go hand history and copy and paste the hand man

loololollo,

Find the hand in your browser hand history, not the download client.

Highlight from the "P" of "Player" and drag down to the last point you want to include. Don't include the the hand history number or the buttons at the bottom.

Copy and paste that into a discussion thread.

Easy call as played.  Raise pre tho when opponany limps in blind vs blind to you tho as they will be playing fit or fold poker.

It works fine for me using IE but in the past people have suggested that some browsers don't like the download's format... or something like that.

If you use the browser to both copy and paste the hand, it shouldn't cause that problem.

Most players are going to check their option pre-flop here (including me) but bearlyther is probably right that raising and c-betting most flops is going to be better.

I'd definitely raise more on the flop, probably to 240 total. It's more convincing as a bluff and it allows you to stack your opponent more easily by the river.

You have to call the turn, though. If you're going to fold, you have to be able to give a better reason than "...really felt I was behind..." The time he takes to make the shove doesn't really give any read unless you've seen him tank with monsters before. Even then, it can just mean he's taking a sip of coffee or he's trying to convince himself you can fold...

A reason to fold the turn could be "This guy has not raised in two hours and plays all his weak and mediocre hands passively". Even then, your hand is very strong and the pot odds are very good. With your reads that he's playing every hand and therefore could be holding any two cards, you really must call. He can have weaker two-pairs, draws, top-pair, all sorts. If he turns up with better you'd be massively unlucky and the call would still have been the right decision.

Posted by bearlyther[/QUOTthnks for reply , i agree rasisng pre is profitable but on the other hand early on do we relly need to with a weak hand ?

Hi S

From what you say he could be playing anything and you do have top two pair. This makes it unlikely tha he has JJ or 88. Its probably the draw thats the worry for you. Maybe your bet-sizing could have been bigger with this in mind as he gets odds of over 4 to 1 to call your raise.. However you should think your ahead so this is a value bet.
 I think you should call tbh. Playing these kinds of players can be a pain as you feel the one time i go all the way, he's got trips and his loose/maniacal image has disguised it.
The time taken could mean anything tbh.
