Ive always suspected I was cool, now you've just confirmed it! As a reward ill defend you about big Mike. Heres a hand i played with him later that night:
Mike limps UTG, i raise to 30 with

.
Flop is

- I bet 50 mike raises to 150, I call.
Turn is

. Mike bets 300 with about 400 back. Now im thinking Urghh i cant possibly be good here versus his range - also his hand was trembling when he bet - a sure fire sign he was strong.
Then i thought hang on a sec i have two pair here and that ranks quite high up the hand rankings chart so i shoved. Mike snapped (sigh!)
The river was

. (super sigh). Mike tables

for a split pot!
So don't feel too bad about the AJ play and dont let
the carrot topped chubby funster from Derby get you down.
You cheeky little silver haired accountant from West Bridgeford!
For starters, he was tilting his balls off from that hand with Alex, non stop muttering endless shit in Italian under his breath for about 2 hours. Something about cornettos and mamma mia. Deffo out of character to even call a raise with his hand there.
Secondly, 'Mike Caro', the guy has severe arthritis, hes always shaking. Excellent awareness.
Anyway, havent you got a gig as a Fabrizio Ravanelli lookalike to go to tonight? JOG ON. xxxx
