QQ loses to KK - unlucky or bad play?
I'm inclined to think this was bad luck, but someone more experienced might disagree. I had a similar experience today when going all in with AA and the board showing nothing (in this case some idiot...

Re: AQo in late middle.
Given that it would be ok to call a bet on the flop with two overcards, I don't see a problem in opening with a bet here.

Re: 64s - 1/2 Party - Bet the turn?
Agree with previous posters. Having said that, given that it appears to be a tight table, you could have tried a cheeky raise pre-flop. Calling is definitely the worst of the three options though.

Re: Good check-raise?
I'm not that keen on the check-raise, given how you have described the other players. If you had a reason to feel that they were tight and attentive, then it might function as an effective semi-bluff...

Re: Two middle pair hands - Party 1/2
Hand 1: I'm guessing CO has two pairs when they raise the flop, or AQ/KQ. If this is the case I wouldn't have 3-bet, and there isn't enough money in the pot to carry this on.
Hand 2: I'm guessing...

What percentage of flops would a tight player see?
A bit of a fundamental question here. I mean tight as a compliment here (i.e. someone who will have long-term success against those who play too many hands).
Best 10% of hands, 20%?
Assume that the...

Re: The Gap Concept
Thanks for this.
If my understanding is correct, in later stages of a tournament (where the blinds have increased substantially) it may be appropriate to raise (when folded to) with hands that...

Re: 99
My intuition would be that they would fold to a bet on the river.
Undecided about the raise pre-flop, I also play $1/$2 and people seem quite happy to cold call at this level, so not sure if it...

Re: Bet the river?
not raising the flop is the only mistake I can see here, would check river in case someone was intending to check-raise a flush (although with hindsight this might be to overestimate your opponents)

Re: Pocket Aces, need advice.
nothing wrong with this. I think the logical interpretation of his 3-bet would be that he had three of a kind, in which case you had sufficient pot odds to draw for the straight or 3 A's and beat him.

Re: JTo in the SB - 2/4
I would have called the turn. You had ten outs (4 8's, 4 K's, 2 T's) giving odds of 3.6/1 of hitting, and pot odds of at least 4.75/1 if you called the 3-bet.

Re: Aces in Paradise
If someone had a K then they would have raised you (in order to dissuade those drawing to a /images/graemlins/diamond.gif flush). So you could have bet the turn I think.

I agree with those who would raise the flop. Calling here would be a form of slow play, and with the possibility of a straight lurking you don't have sufficient strength to allow others to catch up a...

Re: jumping ship on the river-problem hand?
looks like he had two pairs, but if you felt that the odds of beating him were greater than 11/1 then it is worth calling. it's marginal but I probably would have called this unless my opponent was...

Re: Ax ?
I'll limp in with A4 or better. However, I play it very tight with a low A-x if I only have a A-pair following the flop, and will fold it if I see any strength elsewhere.

Re: Head scratcher..
I would have folded when bet to on the flop - nobody has suggested this - would that be a bad play?

Re: AA preflop check
no reason why you should merely call, after all, you have the best possible hand and should make the pot as large as possible

Re: K6s from the BB
I don't think anyone's got a Jack - even if they had slow played it post-flop surely they would have raised at the turn to scare off anyone with 4 spades

Re: Good or bad river check
If I thought that any of the players were sufficiently dangerous to check raise here, I would check. Otherwise would bet.
