Im not too impressed by the buttons play.

I can understand the pre flop betting. the flop play should have alerted him that you were solid.


Now...

Your play to me would depend on how you were running before this hand and if the button was tight.


based on just looking at the hand play, you were out of position and raised 6x bb. I would not had played this hand (just based on no reads of the player or history at the table)

k4 suited is -0.05 EV, not a winning hand normally. You are a 70 to 30 loser preflop vs this qq.

ICBM

You make me sick Â* :P

I love the way in the bit before the hand you say 'the carnage that Small suited connectors/1-2 gappers can cause'..... then in the hand you play K4 suited. Â*I lost a $160ish pot at Titan yesterday at the $0.50/$1 tables when someone raised it up to $4 and I re-raised (with AA) up to $19 and he called with K5 suited and flop hit down K45 rainbow. Â*So yes... I do hate how you played it but whatever works for you mate.

tomonbass

IC...... that Small suited connectors/1-2 gappers and suited Aces/Kings can cause :P Iplay those hands pretty much like SSC...... Â* also tell me why you hate how I played the hand .... really give it too me....

Anyway Hand 2.....

OMG Tom. When I think of the number of times I've sat in these cash games with you and folded to your $1 and $2 raises, not knowing what absolute crud you were playing.
Thanks for this Tom. Never again will you take so much as an ante from me.
I have you read like a book now. :P

I always respected your raises in the past but can now see what a chancer you are
