So, when’s the next game going down? And what server/skin are you playing in under? Is it open for EU (Norway) registration? Would love to play. What times do you start? ---

I think you can find the game at any [Microgaming](http://www.microgaming.com/pnpokerroom.php) site. I think most of us use Crazy Poker, though we started at the Gaming Room. I think some of us still use Gaming Room (we moved due to US funding issues). I’m pretty certain they take players from Norway, in fact I think they have games for Norwegian players. We play Thursdays at 2200 EST, which is probably, I dunno, 0300 in Norway? Stakes are cheap, they have 9 cents game with a 1 cent rake. We like that. Running commentary on AIM while the game is on. ---

I was wrong about the Norwegian games. They have tables in Swedish, French, and English. ---

[QUOTE=Oslo Ostragoth] Anybody remember where **ast** ’s fine finish was in the 7cs freeroll? [/QUOTE] I’ve only cashed in one stud freeroll and that was somewhere in the high 30s. Last Thursday I got 20th in one of the NL freerolls. Almost cashed in the 7 stud freeroll last night but I got bounced in 45th with an absolutely awful series of beats. ---

Any suggestions? Did I play AKo too softly there? [/QUOTE] Not that I’m an expert either, but I’ll take a shot. The only thing I can figure is this. JC had five players in front of him fold. Figured Q9o was good enough to limp with. You came over the top and scared the blinds away. The pot is now $4750, $2500 to call (offering him almost 2-1 odds) with triplebluffy still to act. If he could scare triplebluffy away, that’s lots of dead money in the pot, and he’s got more than double your chip stack, so there’s no way you’re going to knock him out. Probably not how I’d have played it. I don’t know that I’d have called his all-in with just the AK, either. (I say that after busting out last Thursday on a similar play after that flop that I never should have made.) You bet 6 times the big blind. 3-5 is supposed to be enough to show people you’re serious. I think there’s a case to be made that you should have bet less, or much more. $3000 was a good chunk of your stack. The flop missed you, the other player made a huge bet (both bad signs for you) and you still went all-in. If you were going to do that anyway, go all-in before the flop. $3000 didn’t scare him away, but $8835 might have. Or, only put in $1500 before the flop. If the flop misses you and he shows strength, it’s a lot easier to let the hand go. (It’s easy to pretend to be smart when I can see all the cards. If I’d been in the game, either in your seat or his, I can’t say for sure what I’d have done. That’s why it’s an interesting game; and, at times, bloody annoying.) ---

Good answer, **Root**. My antennas shot up when your jumbo raise didn’t scare him off. I went to defcon 1 when he went all-in. I would figure an overpair, or at least one pair coming from the flop. Maybe even a set. With an unpaired AKo, no flush or straight draws, and the flop containing both, I probably would have folded. ---
