Some hands instead of randomness

Im friends with p3achy, and he is mainly a 6max player who started playing solme full ring after I gave him a few tips. Hes a pretty good solid player, playing like 14/11 or so and pretty decent postflop.
After I reraised and the guy called out of the blinds p3achy INSTANTLY called the reraise. I put him on a pocket pair when he did this because there wasnt much thought as to if he should reraise or fold.
When he check raised all in, I immediately thought he had 55 or JJ. I started thinking a little harder, and saw some semibluff possibilities like KQs QTs maybe Axs too. Also possible he could have AK as well, but in that case, since i dont have a spade, in 4 out of the 6 possible ways for him to have AK he is freerolling me at about 5%. I didnt think he would have AA here because of the coldcaller and I also didnt think he would be doing this with a naked flush draw or naked AQ. I reluctantly folded the hand and a lot of my friends told me they thought it was a horrible fold.
I ran some pokerstove calculations on it and they came up with the following:
Board: Ah 5s Js
Dead: As
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 24.9349 % 13.48% 11.45% { AcKh }
Hand 2: 75.0651 % 63.61% 11.45% { JJ, 55, AKs, AsQs, AJs, A5s, KsQs, QsTs, AKo }
I think that range is ok. I was getting about 2.2:1 on the shove so I think folding here is fine. I asked him later about it and he said he had AJ and "hes never calling my reraise oop again with a hand like that".

Dont think because you are a good donkament player you can come into my house and call me susie. This was mainly a timing thing. He INSTANTLY check raised me, and i figured rizen isnt the kind of guy to make a smallish check raise just to save money so i put him on a feeler raise to snap off a cbet. Well feel this out buddy!

I timebanked this one forever on the river before calling. This player really bothers me for some reason. First off his icon is irritatingly ugly, I dont even know what it is, but it looks sort of like a deformed version of that doll chucky from childs play. Secondly, his style just pisses me off. Hes ultra ultra passive (his overall AF is .88), and he usually makes these tiny bets trying to squeak out as much value as he can, like if you continuation bet and he calls, and you check the turn he will bet like 1/4 pot whether he has a monster or a weakish hand that is beating yours.
So, when he potted the river I couldnt really figure out what to do. I should have folded, but it just seemed so strange because earlier he turned a straight flush on me and bet exactly 1/2 pot into me on the river and i flatted it with top 2 pair. So when he made this move, I was really confused because he never bets strong with anything. I probably should have folded because I dont see him floating me twice, but I was skeptical about the river bet so I decided to call, plus the fact that its blind on blind with a huge hand.
Alright, Im gonna go to class, mainly out of guilt of missing my first two today. Maybe Ill post some more hands later if youre lucky, but my guess is youre not and youll end up reading retarded randomness again.
The Ghost remote
Daut, Dec 04 2006
So last night after I finished up playing poker, I went to bed but couldnt really sleep, so I threw on Heat, one of my all time favorite movies. As im laying in bed watching I notice i got a few ims from my friend.
I jump out of bed real quick to answer him and my remote, which was laying on my blanket peacefully, flies up in the air and hits the ground real hard in a thud. I bend over and pick it up and without me hitting a button it changes my tv to channel 8. I hit the down channel button in an attempt to go down to the AV channel, but every time I hit a button it would enter 8. 8 had taken over my remote.
So I walk up to the tv, place down the remote, manually change the channel and go lay back down. Within a couple of seconds of hitting my bed, the remote comes to life and changes the channel to 8.
As an intense scowl is quickly creeping across my face, I leap up, grab the remote, throw it in the lowest dresser drawer, shut it, and change the channel back to AV. I jump in bed, turn around, and i see the 8 already on the tv as the ghost remote is changing the channel already.
Now, at this point, a sane man would calmly walk to the tv and remove the batteries from the demon remote. But seeing as I was on monkey life tilt, i grab the remote, fling open my door and toss the thing in the hallway, screaming at it that "YOU WILL STAY OUT THERE UNTIL YOU DECIDE YOU CAN BEHAVE YOURSELF!!!!!" Im gonna make a good father one day. Luckily it didnt have super powers to change the channel through the wall and I could go back to watching my movie in peace.
So this morning, I wake up around 1 ish, and its time for football. I decide to give the possessed clicker a second chance. Immediately upon entering the room it changes the channel to 8. I start breathing really heavy and get ready to throw it at the wall as hard as i can (which from my baseball days, is about 80 mph, this thing was about to meet its doom). Before i release, I notice (now that the lights are on) that when I dropped the remote, the cover had shifted over a little bit from the impact of the fall and was pressing in the 8 key. Awesome, nice to know im a total retard.
So today my jets destroyed the packers and we improved to 7-5. Our remaining schedule is Buffalo home, Minnesota away, miami away and oakland home. Oh baby, anything less than 10 wins will be a disappointing end to the season. Hopefully that gets us into the playoffs. I think the other 7-5 teams have to play each other, at least KC/jax do.
One poker related note. So I entered the sunday million today, and during the 3rd break, (in the money at this point) my buddy Pooruser and I were at the same table with similar chipstacks, i had about 82k he had 81k. We decided to swap 10%. About 5 minutes after break I busted AK v KK in the first level of the money, cashing for a monster 269, while he managed to eek his way into the 2nd level of the money, cashing for 401, so I netted a sick $13 profit from my awesome deal, SHIP IT BABY!!!

Played a bit of cash today, ended up about 1300 in 800 hands or so. Doing extremely well on full ring lately, im running about 14.5ptbb over 6500 hands, for a 19.5k profit. Im just going to keep playing that while the games are good.
Alright, thats enough randomness for the day.
