Heads Up Stats and Game Selection...

You played good.
I ran well, then u ran well.

the hand where u said I raised with 4 high and no draw in previous post, I actually hit a straight draw on the turn where I raised. Still it's obviously a bluff, but I raised for a # of reasons:


1) we were deep stacked, and u just recently said u werent too comfortable playing this deep v me
2) you bet into me which was weird and differnt and I didn't think you had anything real good
3) even if you called I was pushing river and expecting u to fold

I know you didn't question my play, I'm just showing others that every play should have alot of reasons and thoughts behind it and as long as ur thinking that much about a hand, even if it doesnt work, its usually a good play, and u will win overall.

The part that surprises me was that you had just made a comment about making a play or something so I even said in the chat, "Well, here's a play I don't think I've made much" when I lead out. I then wrote, "I'm expecting you to come over top top of me," and then you did. I could have done that with the stone cold nuts there, but think time, I just had like 3rd pair or whatever. Then you said you didn't even see the chat until after you popped me. I wonder if you had read that if it would have changed how you played it. I really thought you'd fold, or if anything, call and try to make a play at me on the river (where I would have check/called you).
