Hi Ben

Thx so much for a great series so far. Learning heaps, your insight and knowledge of the game is much appreciated

Your QQ fold was a great laydown. I like you, always second guess myself after the laydown. “Did I lay down the best hand?”  “Maybe I should've called”, “Maybe he was flushing” etc

We obviously will never know, the only time you know is when you make a read, and violate the read and call and then you find out, and I don't know about you, but the times I call against my better judgement, I was right the first time, I shouldn't have called. His line screamed a monster or he missed the flush and bluffed at it. I think it can't be anything else. 

Did you send the hand history to bigdog? If so what was his reply?

thx

Donksey, Yeah it was a really tough fold, i think the third player in the pot influenced the decision further, it is important to go with your read, but it doesnt mean you can´t rethink and change your read, general rule would be just dont click the call button if you really can´t find a good reason to. 

Funnnuraba,

i think with AA there on that board im just gonna flat his bet, particularly on such a dry board like that.. 90% of players who are donk leading there are always weak, so i´d rather try to let him keep betting or improve to worse one pair hands. Regarding balancing ranges, its only important if you´re playing with players on your thinking level.. ie only against good regs who you´re likely to encounter alot at the tables..
