Dennisa - 25/7/0.4, 70 hands
Donnie3000 - 23/13/1.5, 20 hands
I know I need to improve my blind play. I hate playing in the blinds because I know I'll be in early position on the flop. Anyway, I just call the min-raise from the SB hoping to flop something.
I flop TPTK, but with 2 hearts on board. I make a near-pot bet UTG to try to gain info. Passive "Dennisa" calls and most likely is chasing hearts or has a weaker Ace. Donnie's pot-sized raise is a bit confusing. Why wouldn't he just call with such strength ahead of him? Does he have a set, 2 pair, or just a strong desire to chase his draw?
