Sunday Sombrero
I decided to play the $3500 main event here at Borgata on day 1b, Monday, instead of Sunday so I could play the super-size online tournaments. That decision backfired as I struck out in the seven I played without coming anywhere near a cash.
Here's an interesting hand from Wednesday's $100 6-max rebuy on Full Tilt where I put myself in an awkward spot:
Full Tilt Poker Game #17970344972: $200,000 Guarantee (Rebuy) (132836229), Table 106 - 60/120 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:38:43 ET - 2010/01/27

Pretty similar hand happened to me today. Except we both checked the turn. He had KK.
I need to learn to lay down those pairs.
as far as i know klaeser is an overly aggro player
definately give him a higher bluff % than the avarage oponent
Is the Villain from Den Haag?
I don't know anything about Klaeser, but generally speaking I do think the right move is a fold here. Sometimes I will go for a smallish raise on the flop to try to flesh out whether this guy is on a higher pocket pair or not, but otherwise I generally tend to just lay these down unless I have Kings or Aces, Tons of people bust all the time from tournaments like this with overpair vs overpair, and I hate losing like that without at least making some attempt to find out if my pair is best (via a raise) or without just folding and waiting for a better spot.
I think you are behind here with pocket Jacks more often than you are ahead -- either to a higher pocket pair or to a set -- so I think you should fold and wait for a better spot, understanding that you could be folding the best hand or folding to a draw on occasion but knowing that you made the +EV decision overall.
How did the hand end up? I will guess you got it allin, he was on some kind of a draw and got there to fvck you in the end.
Is it worth building the pot like that preflop? Why not play it for a set or try to throw him off a little with a reraise to 240?
Well that's the thing, if they have the big pair they always check the turn. That's why it was so goofy that he bet, it almost means he has a 5 or a bluff, but then why would he reraise with a 5, but then why would he bet without a 5?
