But even in this post that details your healthy intentions you can't miss an opportunity to have a dig.

Ah sure, I really couldn't allow myself to pass up an edge now, could I?

Whoa some people have real "monsters under the table" syndrome here. The button has AA-JJ very rarely. He has limped the button behind 2 limpers and then flatted a raise from the sb

Let's not let this thread go off topic. Please stick to the Terry and June theme.

Favourite episodes?

the one where Lloyd & Flushy ... sorry Terry & June get their new vehicle is one of my favs...

I see Lloyd and Flushy were going to meet up but Flushy had a bit of trouble finding Lloyd at the station on the way to the casino

OK. Some of the theories about this hand are losing me.

Firstly, the cl has just arrived at the table and we have never played with him before. How do we even begin to put him on a hand....where would we start? I don't think plucking a range of hands from thin air and pasting them into this situation is at all helpful. The cl could have anything and his style of play is unknown.

So what do we KNOW? We know he is the cl and he has been winning pots-a-plenty....so he will be feeling confident about now. His eagerness to carry forward what was happening on his previous table to this one is clear because he limps into the first available pot he can. He is not looking to settle in and size the table up, he wants to get involved and he wants to do that by limping early. He does not choose to get involved in his first pot aggressively. I think that is an important fact.

When the raise comes in everyone gets out of the way (because they don't have raising hands) apart from the cl. He calls with a hand he wouldn't raise with. The information we have is scant for sure...but we can assume from what information we do have that the cl is not the most aggressive player. He is limping and calling rather than betting and raising. What's more his cl status and current high confidence mean that he is not going to be pushed out of a pot he wants to play.

So with this in mind where does the check on the flop come from?? I would bet the flop regardless of any other information actually....for all the reasons that have already been stated. But using the information we do have suggests pot-building can begin immediately. Why check to the caller hoping he suddenly finds the balls to take the lead when he has already shown he doesn't do this? But if you take the lead he has shown an inclination to follow! Information is there to be used and this is the ONLY information we have. He is CALLING your bets so why wouldn't you bet?

Very good post mate. 

I sometimes get put off reading some of your posts, as i think they can be too analytical although generally they have all the correct info.  But above post is concise and to the point.  More of the same. 

if you want less words and even more concise, bring back Totalise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were very happy with Totalise, who's posts I respect enormously and he did a couple of superb HOTW's. It was entirely his decision to take a rest from HOTW

[madasahatstand]

Oh well thats bad news indeed. I didnt see anything on the forum about this. Thanks for all your analysis Totalise:)  Hurry back

[Royal Flush]

I fired 19k into the 39k pot and my oppo flat called. The river came the 



Making the board  



I now fire 32k into the 77k pot, does anyone bet a different amount here? If so why?
