*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to jamyhawk2 [Jh Jc]
DADDYHAN calls $0.50
naknekpete folds
jamyhawk2 has 15 seconds left to act
jamyhawk2 raises to $2 <----I have to raise. Question is how much. This table has been fairly juicy, so I expect to get at least 1 caller, maybe 2 with 4xBB bet.
muckerfooker folds
Mozambee folds
luvChocolate folds
ballstothewall7 calls $1.75
Wasilla Steve folds
DADDYHAN folds
*** FLOP *** [3s 4s 2d]
ballstothewall7 bets $5 <---That's a hefty bet for this flop. I should rule out A5, because that would be a check raise or smaller bet to get my call. Could be A2, A3, A4, especially sooooooted, but not likely calling a 4xBB preflop bet. I also believe 4xBB preflop rules out 22, 33 and 44. I'm putting him on over pair since he is betting a little bigger than the pot to chase me away. AA or KK would have re-raised pre-flop. QQ is the big scare, but I really think he has 88, 99 or 1010. The $5 bet is screaming overpair 8-Q range.
jamyhawk2 has 15 seconds left to act
jamyhawk2 has requested TIME
jamyhawk2 raises to $20 <---Let's put the pressure on. I really feel I am ahead here.
ballstothewall7 calls $12.50, and is all in <---Insta-call. Really. I think his chips beat mine into the pot. I must be in trouble.
jamyhawk2 shows [Jh Jc]
ballstothewall7 shows [Qc 7s] <---WTF? I stare at this, trying to figure what I am missing. No draws, no pair. I look again to make sure I didn't miss something. Is he bluffing me by calling me to all in? I don't remember this hand being on any one's top 50 list. Top 100? 200?
Uncalled bet of $2.50 returned to jamyhawk2
*** TURN *** [3s 4s 2d] [9d]
*** RIVER *** [3s 4s 2d 9d] [Ad] <---FT tried to get me by throwing an A out there, but alas, the Jax hold up. I wish I would have known how much I was over thinking this hand after the flop.
jamyhawk2 shows a pair of Jacks
ballstothewall7 shows Ace Queen high
jamyhawk2 wins the pot ($38) with a pair of Jacks
ballstothewall7 is sitting out

It's tough not to over think these hands, but in reality it is a waste of time. Playing ABC and not over thinking at these levels is the only way to go. I've been trying to convince myself of the very same.

i just don't understand. i've been playing at the .25/.50 tables and people don't make these calls against me. i guess i'll be searching for ballstothewall7 the next time i play. hehe. ftp names are funny.
