-----I don't really like this line at all but it worked out better than
it should it have. Why are you shoving top pair like this?
LOL@Donks.-----
Ya I definitely didn't play this one by the book. Really risky push, but trouble was very aggressive so far, and I knew he was likely to bet had I checked, and I could trap him.
Basically I was trying to trap a weaker jack here...i dunno, not much to explain here, just a really overplayed TP that I felt was leading at that point.

-----I don't really like the preflop call with 6 people to act behind. How much of a reraise would
you have called? I raise this to 120 or so.Not sure, but this was a passive table and I had a good chance of seeing a cheap flop and getting a shot at some big implied odds.
I really don't like raising this in EP. Another marginal hand out of position, and especially not for 120 - we're just bloating the pot in an unfavourable spot.
As played I like the flop and turn, but think you might have gotten a little more
value. Not sure how much, but my bet would have been around 200.-----
You're probably right. I put him on a 9 or smaller pair and didn't want to lose him...an ace raises the turn or at least bets the flop.

I nearly did, and would have too :/
The thing that stopped me was Irish's stack size. I wanted a 1500+ stack to call the bet because we're getting full implied value. I think a call is fine, sort of 50/50 here. Glad I didn't though.

I don't like stealing at this point. Blinds just aren't worth it, and people are still playing like maniacs. I'll definitely call a raise or limp in a multiway pot though.

-----I would rather see this raised. I like the flop check/raise attempt
because we have been rather tight and will get allot more respect. The c/r attempt
might get an additional bet in this pot. Turn is good also.-----
I was actually going for a check-call here. Villain was very tag so far, and had only shown down premiums and strong positional hands IIRC. His raise means something that my hand probably is beaten by, and this is kind of a WA/WB position if we forget about the FD.
I was intending to check-call and reevaluate on the turn, maybe put out a bet or check-raise, or even check-call again. He'd either have AA/KK/AQ/QQ or a smaller pair and I don't want to go crazy.
PF is weak, I agree.

yeah, just an odds call. 88 is at the top of his pushing range there.
Another reason to call is to show we won't give in lightly to blind steals and that we'll call with the worse of hands with decent odds; ie metagame.

-----I don't really like this line at all but it worked out better than
it should it have. Why are you shoving top pair like this?
LOL@Donks.-----
Ya I definitely didn't play this one by the book. Really risky push, but trouble was very aggressive so far, and I knew he was likely to bet had I checked, and I could trap him.
Basically I was trying to trap a weaker jack here...i dunno, not much to explain here, just a really overplayed TP that I felt was leading at that point.

-----I don't really like the preflop call with 6 people to act behind. How much of a reraise would
you have called? I raise this to 120 or so.Not sure, but this was a passive table and I had a good chance of seeing a cheap flop and getting a shot at some big implied odds.
I really don't like raising this in EP. Another marginal hand out of position, and especially not for 120 - we're just bloating the pot in an unfavourable spot.
As played I like the flop and turn, but think you might have gotten a little more
value. Not sure how much, but my bet would have been around 200.-----
You're probably right. I put him on a 9 or smaller pair and didn't want to lose him...an ace raises the turn or at least bets the flop.

I nearly did, and would have too :/
The thing that stopped me was Irish's stack size. I wanted a 1500+ stack to call the bet because we're getting full implied value. I think a call is fine, sort of 50/50 here. Glad I didn't though.

-----I would rather see this raised. I like the flop check/raise attempt

I was actually going for a check-call here. Villain was very tag so far, and had only shown down premiums and strong positional hands IIRC. His raise means something that my hand probably is beaten by, and this is kind of a WA/WB position if we forget about the FD.
I was intending to check-call and reevaluate on the turn, maybe put out a bet or check-raise, or even check-call again. He'd either have AA/KK/AQ/QQ or a smaller pair and I don't want to go crazy.
PF is weak, I agree.
