PP like QQ or KK or AA are always re-raised in that club and sometimes you may see a re-raise shove with AQ or AK cause they want to race.

The only way I see a possible fold in this spot is if your villian is a smart player and can put you on a polarized range and knows for sure you have KK or AA when villian has a set of QQ....even then I still call and congratulate villian for making an excellent read.

You guys don't really support the Woodbridge game with the insane rake structure do you? Do you realize how much they take off the table per hour there?

rest of the thread = tl:dr

but just from OP...I fist-pump call. Thought process = Hands that beat you don't play the hand this way (both pre and post flop) [unless you're getting lvled]

Yeah, what you missed is everyone stating that this is the world's most standard hand

From what I normally see the pots are raked fairly. I know most of the owners and dealers from these clubs and they all run the same game. I think you were used to some of the older clubs with no limit rake

A lot of the clubs now are run by former dealers of those older clubs where they were treated unfairly and now the established a place that was fair to those who play and also those who work there.

I mean a good example now is a tournament that is held monthly. They take nothing off the top other than expenses that work out to be maybe 5%. The rest is the prize pool and that usually consists of some rebuys and add ons.

That sounds decent -- I recall a 10/25 game that sometimes played as 5/10 that had a no cap rake -- lol. Also other Woodbridge games with $30 caps and other insanity. I never understood how knowledgeable players played in those games.

What's the rake % and max?

Who the fuck can fold KK when there is no Ace to be seen?

Guess that is why I suck at poker.
