You probably lost the minimum with top pair. IIRC, I did not raise pre-flop, which is rare when I have a hand like pocket Jacks. and I only called your bet on the flop. > > You could have really fallen in love with your pair of Kings, and busted out. I was hoping that you would step into the trap, but you did well. The hand just before it, where I made a min bet at each betting round, and won, probably didnt help me. If you have to play more with chips, less with cards, you will get no where fast limping in, and abandoning. ---

Just for the record. Bdomino55 is me… Actually my wifes AIM account. I haven’t one myself. Surely never meant to confuse anyone. The name is actually taken from the road we live on, domino five road and the wife was 55 of age. ergo domino 55 ---

> [@Gray\_Ghost](#): > > That’s hilarious: I’ve thought for all this time that you played under the “ **craneop2** ” moniker, not “ **Root** ”. I guess I’m easily confused. So much for my keen observation of trends and tendencies… I still get confused as to which one’s **mensa** : the bdomino handle or the bmt@yahoo one. Mensa = bmt\_566 [at] [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) and/or Arthur Miller aol Moniker I had such a difficult time installing AOL that I was really getting desperate using email addresses and what not. Finally I got one to stick, and it came out with these handles. ---

> [@Meeko](#): > > \*\*To say nothing about that hand that had me all in, and won on an 8 high, was it ? \*\* I think I had the 8-high and you had 9-high. You were such a short stack, that I had pot odds to call, with practically any two card. As long as you didn’t have an overpair, or have me dominated with with some like Q/8 vs my 8/4 off, I had the pot odds to call. If you had a bigger stack, I would have never entered the pot. ---

and meeko, naturally I didn’t see your hold cards, but I thought you played way too tight when we got heads up. nearly any two cards are playable, because there is a good chance that I got KRAP as well. And never, never go all-in pre-flop (when you are the big stack) when you got pocket kings, unless your opponent raises! you could have crippled me with that hand, because I had a playable hand. Something like Q/10 off. ---

Yeah, It’s weird, the first Top 10 hand I get heads up, I’m all in asap, want to end it.
