   Randomlings

   That's random and ramblings. Witty, huh?

   Some Strategy

   I've been posting some hands on the strategy forum, and was hoping to get some feedback. Either comment here or on the forums. Or both :p

   I talked about putting your opponent on a hand (and following through!)

   And then a random what the heck should I do on this flop?

   Some Freerolls

   I've played in a few PokerStars freerolls. "Hubble's" NL Hold'em freeroll, a limit Razz game (yeah, really), and some Stud. These tournaments have 12000 max entrants and the top 99 or 88 or whatever qualify for yet another weekly freeroll, which has a $2000 pot. Not bad for practicing weird games or blowing some time if you don't have a real money account (or just want to supplement a movie or something mostly brainless. I did the best in the Razz game - 384 out of 3.5k or so.

   I also played in this week's WSOP qualifier on PokerStars. I lost with trips when my opponent turned his full house after I had his trips dominated on the flop. Oh well :p

   Phone Fun

   At a recent tourney I picked up pocket aces in late position and was fortunate enough to have a regular non-believer in the big blind. I raised 4x the big blind and was called. The flop came king-high, and my phone rang. I picked it up, told them I'd call them on a break, then checked while saying "what should I do with pocket aces here?" My opponent bet near pot, I smooth-called. The turn was an ace (lucky me). Now I just have to hope my opponent really has that king. I check, they bet, I call. The river is a blank, and I lead out. Unfortunately they fold (their draw?) but fortunately they missed their draw. Fun stuff.

   Rules Question

   Check this out. What should we have done?
