Nice payoff for my first hand...

after that post...i feel like an idiot.

kk in bb.

sb raised to 2.

I raised to 6.75.

He calls.

j2q comes out. I raise 18 on a pot of 15 thinking I had him...he had qq in the hole for trips...

Slap me for that one.

if not for that queen, I would have been up a lot...too bad that I have to start from scratch.

oh well, back to the lower tables.

The standard of play on ipoker is insanely bad, and it continues all the way up to NL200 and NL400, so keep building your bankroll guys, busting a fish for 200 is an even better feeling than doing it for 20 - trust me on that.

fish dawg, your play wasn't that bad, you can't tell if he has QQ, perhaps you raised too much on the flop, bet about half the pot if someone has preflop raised but not reraised and there is a queen or a jack on the board, but hell people on ipoker get addicted to their pocket pairs so i'd probably still stay in the hand as you did, the also might be playing AQ, looks like you were just playing outside your bankroll on the site and got stung.

Stupid part about this was that my fiance told me to get off the table. her words, "You won a big pot, you better leave before you get too cocky"...and then this happened. Perhaps it was her fault?

Don't blame the woman, you'll regret it later .

I think the flop bet was too aggressive. Better to make a bet to find out if your KK is still good. It helps to have some kind of a read. When he comes over the top of you, does it mean anything? You'd want to hope you know it does, or that it does this time, and fold to lose as little as possible.
