This was a pretty good flop for T9s...

The flop was good. The action was better.

why every time the flop is 999 or 444, does one guy bet relentlessly. Every time a flop is similar to that, just watch, someone will bet all in in the end if he can.

So, our boy got his revenge on me tonight. Funny thing is, he was just complaining about how bad he runs (after I bluffed him off a hand with J high).

After this, he informed me that my turn bet was terrible and the reason he called my flop bet with JJ is because he's thinking "3 levels above" me. I guess he must be, because I sure don't understand a lot of the "plays" he makes.

Note the chat, btw. Yeah, he's thinking 3 levels above me - that's why I knew exactly what he had (I honestly thought JJ/TT first, but went with QQ for chat purposes, since the board was AK6) and he obviously had no idea what I had.
