** Hold em or Fold em?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't this be an easy fold? I know Party Poker douches hate to fold, but this seems so obvious. Hell, I was even wondering what to do cause I was a little scared of the A high flush from one of these two, but wasn't about to fold the second nuts.

**Hold em or Fold em?

I thought this hand out for a long time, and decided that it almost certainly has to be a call. There was $500+ in the pot, and the only hand that has me in bad shape, based on his preflop play is a set of Jacks, which I thought was highly unlikely considering his flop bet. All other hands I'm either a slight favorite against or a slight dog against. Lets look into this a little further. If he has two black Aces, I'm a 51% favorite. If he has AdAx, I'm a 46% favorite. If he has AdJx, I'm a 46.3% favorite. If he has AdKd, I'm a 52.4% favorite. If he has what he did in fact have, TsTc, I'm a 52.5% favorite. In the extreme cases, if he has JJ, I'm a 31% favorite. Last, a few players might be crazy enough to have AsKc here, in which case I would be a 87.3% favorite. My point is, most hands he holds is a coin flip, and there is $500+ sitting out there before his all-in, so I decided to call.

Ryan Young is Dead

I just found out that an old running buddy of mine, younger brother of a girl I used to date is now dead. It's so weird to think about. I've had a few people that I care about die in my life, but not anyone this young. Don't get me wrong, it's not like we were the best of friends or anything, but it's still really hard to accept. Tru, Tom and I had a long discussion last night about the whole thing. Tru brought up the really good point that at least he died doing what he wanted to do (repelling off a crane on CU campus) rather than being killed by a drunk driver. Even so, I can't help feeling bad for his family...

Well, I'm not quite sure, this is a pretty tough one, but I think the proper play is to FOLD at this point, but assuming otherwise, lets take a look at what happens if one should happen to call...

Again, this is a very difficult decison, especially considering pit loves to min raise on the turn out of position on bluffs every other hand....riiiiight

Well, at this point, I think a call has to be made considering there is over $3200 in the pot, so I think this river call was the best part of this hand by Big ol' Brad
