*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to jamyhawk2 [6s 7s]
Mike Kowal folds
jamyhawk2 calls 60<--sometimes i like to early position call with marginal hands. If I get a lot of callers behind, i am set up for a monster. if someone re-raises, i can fold easy enough. i also find a lot for AA-QQ players like to slow play with several limpers ahead, and if i hit my flush or straight on the flop, i get paid big.

Make sure to get over to the pokerchica website and congratulate lj on her #3 finish in the venetian $340buy in event. I don't think she is such the low limit grinder anymore.
