| You know you are a good player when you see the mistakes you make, and the mistakes your opponents are making. |

The Button had 78 of spades, and the BB had 96o for two pair.
I was indeed pummeled, these are the types of laydowns that I always have lost money not making in the past. One of the things that re ... |

| Both of these players have been pretty passive. Button is a 40/4/1.2 buddy-lister and the BB is an interesting player, 44/20/1.6, but he tends to go to showdown only with somewhat strong hands. He's a ... |

| Bet the river. If he's fishy he's not gonna checkraise you with a worse hand and the 3 is not a scare card (unless he has 56). The donk on the turn usually means he picked up a flush draw or has a 7 a ... |

22 with the 2h?
3 bet the flop for sure, you most likely have the best hand, and if you are behind you have redraws.
Then lead the turn, if you get raised call down UI.

Bet and call a raise. I don't think you have to be too concerned with getting popped for a raise here. Although I think you have a good chance of being behind.
It's really tough to put your oppo ... |

Obviously you have an easy call, but raising is not recommended. If Athens is a reasonable player then he should have a pretty decent hand for his 3-bet out of position. You could argue that a ra ... |
