| no way you play that any differently. Just a bad river card. |

| Yep. Not sure what to even comment on here. You caught a guy in a hand he couldn't lay down (although with only a 10 kicker, and K4 and K8 beating him as well, I dunno why he couldn't) and he sucked out. |

| Looks fine to me. Sometimes I'll smooth call that, depending on the opponent. But a check raise is fine against many people. |

| So basically, you got your money in good and he just sucked out, so since you didn't win you aren't sure if you played it well? Try to avoid being results oriented. |

You were dominated pre flop . Calling the preflop raise was your only mistake.  |

| 150-300 and 25 ante blinds and calling with k8 to a min raise is a mistake? Bad call sand wedge. |

I hate mini raises . But I stand by my decision the "call" was the only mistake. Either push or fold. . I know that the pot odds are right but still think you are dominated by at least one and probally both who are already in the pot. The mini raise always make the back of my neck bristle. Is this just a week player or someone who really wants a call? Would have a better feel if we had been at the table. The mini raise prob was the "hey I got an ace" or the "hey I got a little pp" signal. The other guy calling was the "hey I aint sceered of yore ace", or it could have been the " hummmm lets see if the bb will call or raise and I got aces" signal.  |

| The call preflop was fine, imo. You have to exploit those people with their minraises, not by shoving but by calling. It's the perfect spot to suck out on someone who tries to trap you with AA. |
