I wasn't looking for comments that back me up. I posted some 'jabs', because you said I played the 2nd hand overly aggressive. So I asked you some questions, giving you the other side -- if I had played it less aggressively. I dont want to hear nice play, I want to hear what people think.

So how would you of played the 2nd hand differently? If a person wont call a standard raise preflop with KQ, with position on the raiser IMO they are probably playing too tight. If you disagree , then you disagree, theres nothing to argue about there -- just a matter of opinion. Once ur in the hand, you hit top pair with a K kicker, and its checked to you, not wanting to give a free card you make a standard bet of 1/2 the pot. Would you of checked? Then the turn hits, the Q is still TP and you are checked to once again, you make a slightly larger bet, still only slightly above 1/2 the pot and you are called. A straight possibility is here now, do you want a hand like 88 or 99 to catch a straight? An ace is still scary also. I think a check back is tough here. Would you check back? The river hits and you hit trips. Your opponent makes a 40 dollar bet. Obviously you dont raise here... but can you honestly fold to 40 bucks in a 108 dollar pot with trip Qs and a K kicker?
