Travj1's Interests
POKER GAMES:
NL & PL Hold Em & Omaha. Mixed Games - HO & HOE
Games I do NOT like: Any game that involves 1 eyed Jacks and 2's as wild cards, any game that starts out with "no peek", and finally any game that I leave the table with less $ than I sat down with!
POKER PLAYERS:
Well the best way to describe poker players is to use a phrase I heard from a dealer at a nearby casino: "The only difference between puppies and poker players is that puppies eventually stop whinning."
Flipside - Some of the smartest people I know play
LUCKY POKER HANDS:
9 10 suited or any hand that wins.
I guess I feel AA is lucky for 2 reasons: 1) I almost never see it, so I feel lucky when I am dealt it. 2) When I finally am dealt AA and it actually holds up, I know luck must be involved.
CASINOS:
Mesquaki Casino, Tama IA.
ACTIVITIES:
Life! Family, Friends, Concerts, Poker - Poker.
Energy - Passion - Fun!
As long as I am enjoying life, every activity is good.

You FOLD (HPT) Travis! - You have only the blind to loose and you can in most cases recover it back from him 3-4 hands later from the highjack postion with any two for revenge since he was prob playing pretty tight. 80K on a marginal hand....5 BB to call is a whole lot harder to justify then getting called IMO and in your opinion too. - HPL starts next week in Tama BTW. Also dont forget we are playing the POY for 20K on wed there. No chop. ;o)
Hi there. Plz check out my blogs on my profile page and see if there is anything I forgot in any one of the subject. I will make 1-2 new ones a week and your input is appreciated and valued whether you agree or disagree. - Thanks in advance.
Hey Travis - Good luck here. Serious LAG/Donk combinations on this site will make you laugh and cry though...
Tried to post in your blog but didn't respond when I clicked on post a comment. IMO your reasoning on either folding or going allin is not bad, but I still would make a case for just calling. By calling and seeing the flop you could still have the best hand if a flop comes low or no Ace as I agree you have to put him on Acepaint or even Ace rag. Even if an over card comes out other than an ace you can lead out with a feeler bet to see where you are. And with a little luck you could flop a ten an
Great profile. I leave you with a quote "dream as if you will live forever, live each day as if you will die tomorrow"
