Re: Any issues? Anybody?
When you openraise and noone reraises you and the flop is K75 I think it is a mistake to ever check the flop regardless of your holecards (against 1 or 2 opponents).

10/20 A4o
MP limp doesn't say much. I don't expect Button in this hand to get out of line much preflop or postflop, he's a winning player though. I didn't like the prospect of calling turn and river (and I...

Re: Jizazcks
I agree with bobbyiy, these hands should be played the same. Whether you 3-bet or just call the flop should depend on your opponent. Against most players i think calling is the better play, it leaves...

Re: Flopping strong draws HU against steal
Your line is in my opinion the best line. Against some opponents i would c/c flop/turn and fold river unimproved. Against many of those players i would also bet the river every time they check the...

Re: 30/60 QQ, scary turn(?)
"SB is 30/15/1.9 after 8069hands filtered for 7+players"
I don't really know what this means, but against many solid opponents (10/20) I would fold the turn here. I wouldn't raise any bets.

Re: a hand vs. a 2+2er
I really hate the checkraise. The BB is a good player, so he knows you're raising a lot of hands here to play HU with the moron. So his calling range from the BB should be wide as well. And he will...

Re: bottom 2 OOP in a big pot
Preflop is fine.
Flop is good until you call. I think you should cap the flop and lead the turn every time.
Threebetting the turn is maybe a bit much, but then at least bet river.

Re: Please raise!
With opponents holding 130-150 BB each I'm not too thrilled building a pot from the SB with a hand that will often be difficult to play when you get action, and often stands to loose big or win...

Re: 50-100 Live 4 handed.
Raising only overcards (that didn't cap pf) on this flop is a very aggressive play that i don't expect seeing too often. And if it comes down to a pair or a draw, a pair seems a whole lot more likely...
