lol wat. that hand is really weird, why did he turn 88 into a bluff. and why did you think he was bluffing? lol

nasty little bit of variance there!

Is that all u played on Nl100 in december ?

GJ, sir. I wish I could be playing but I barely have any internet access here at home =P. I can't wait to get back to school and just stay there.

and yeah that is a pretty strange hand, I assume you have some decent history with him?

Not that much except that he's a pretty standard nit that calls to set mine.

Suited connectors aren't in his range and I was sick nasty aggro at the table, so he either had the unlikely quads, or unlikely TT because I had a T. I guess he could have had something like AJhh or AQhh? Or of course, a pp turned into a bluff.

I think it was likely he was just fed up with me because I was running something like 32/28 at that table.

But yeah, the only realistic hand I put him on after he called the turn was JJ, but JJ never fires a pot sized bet on the river.
