Pencils Down!

Ok so now it's answers time. Just to note that these answers may not be the best ones at the time, but they're what I did. Ok, here we go!

1. Ok everyone go this one right. Sit next to the woman of course. I hate to use stereotypes in life, but when faced with a decision like this, it's always good to let crazy people go before you. And also, the women that I've played with historically, are never very good, and having people like that to your right can be a huge advantage, as money usually travels clockwise around the table.

2. So on the board of T63TK, holding A6 after my opponent had check called me on the first 2 streets, he then led out to me on the river. Well, let's think about this one for a second. People gave very good answers, but no one gave the answer to what I actually did...

Ok, if he had a T, I would have definitly found about it on the turn. So if he had a 6 I had him out kicked. If he had a K it would have to be K 6, but what are the odds of that. He didn't reraise me before the flop so I can count out a hand like AK or any big pair. I know that he doesn't have a Ten, so I ask myself what can he have that would make him bet? He either has a K randomly or has a busted draw. I leaned towards the busted draw personally. Because he and I were friendly, I remember saying "that bet SCREAMS 'I can't win unless I bet!'" So I raised him and he mucked. I can only imagine him having a hand like 78, 79, 45, or 46.

3 a and b. I played the nuts kinda weak here. I agree with Pete that I should usually check raise the flop, etc, but I didn't. I check called the flop, and when the Q came on the turn, making me the 2nd nuts, I foolishly decided to check again. When the original bettor checked also, I felt my heart sank, but the older guy fires out a bet! I then raised to $24 since it was a kill pot. If he reraised me there, I'd get rid of the hand. But he just called, I then led out on the river, and he called with a Q6 for one pair. I got kind of lucky that he bet the turn, otherwise I lose $24 right there.

So there ya go, there's my answers...take them as you will.
