Amater let him in too cheaply and he hit a monster hand on the flop then played it slow, nothing speical but poker is so funny when that happens, that exact thing has happened to me but I was on the higher FH and I played the way he did. Check Raise Raise All in All in.

Never ever ever bet hard on a monster hand liek that or you'll scare the pot away.

I dunno, I would have played the same way as the amatur, the chances of you and him having a full house is slim.

Mind you he could of had pocket aces. but then he would have raised preflop imo.

Really bad idea limping on a high pair, play it agressivleyto weed out those limping in with a J >8. Every time I get QQ+ I 3/4xBB.

If you got people calling 4x BB you know they are probably holding an ace, if your holding 2k's and a ace comes down on the flop and they raise you know to fold :p This is where the money is made in online poker, players are affriad to let go of a good hand like pocket kings even with an overcard because they don't know when to fold.

but ya ya have to put pressure on

4x BB is enough to shit out the limper but extract cash from those holding the better cards, if you know that they are only playing with good cards you can better understand the betting patterns on the flop/4thstreet/river and know your odds to win.

(Im not talking about 2cent games :p) Obviously its reletive to stack as well.

IMO ofc.
