River Rage

Just finished a little Christmas poker. Should have stuck to the new Wii bowling.

Raised with KQ offsuit on the button, three limp along with my raise. Flop comes out 5JQ all clubs. I am holding the king of clubs. Everyone checks to me. I decide to bet it hard and find out where I am. Everyone folds except one dude who calls my 3/4 pot bet. Turn comes out with another queen. I have a set of queens with a second nut flush draw. He goes all in. I study and think he has a queen as well. Could he have AQ? QJ---Full house? Q5?, JJ for another full house? A made flush? Way too many options but I smell weakness and call. He flips up AJ with only ONE Club. He has two pair QQJJA and I have the set of queens. The river comes out with the 7 of CLUBS. And he takes down a BIG pot on me. No Christmas justice. Sorry to whine. Next time I'll play him in Wii bowling and see who wins..

Never played much online. How many tables do most people play at one time, two, three, four?

It is certainly easier to stack up experience with hundreds of hands while online but I miss the ability to physically try to read my opponents. What do the online pros have as tells? Betting time and patterns? How does that translate into live games for the online pros?

Much to think about. Does more online experience lead to better live play?

Went all in with my 6-10 offsuit at the Best Damn Poker Show Period. Just kidding. :0
