oskar - thanks for the input. couple of questions:
- i don't understand your first sentence. could you try explaining it another way? you would have called his .02 bet? what would you have done if he had reraised to 0.50 in that situation?
- what size bets would you suggest in this situation if i was bluffing?
- "hh"? heads up hand?

stacks - thanks to you, also.
- my thinking pre-flop: i don't remember; i can see from renton's beginner article that he says to call in this situation. i generally try to follow that, so i don't know why i raised here.
- flop check/raise: i was trying to feel him out. when he bet .02 i thought his hand might be very weak. once he reraised, i figured he likely has something, but i would buy the turn (which was dumb, in hindsight with only two outs)

kardmania - you're welcome to share some of your more insightful questions and relevant higher math. otherwise what's really the point of what you said?
