Re: 15/30 with QQ
I think that line's cool but, obviously, you need to decide whether you think any of your opponents might have called your initial raise with Ax. And it's always more likely that there's one out...

Re: Advise on playing in a very very loose game
I know the feeling, mate. You can go in with dollar signs in your eyes, and leave a while later ready to punch several people in the head.
It sounds like you're confident that you know what...

Re: Playing with Cowboys in Early Position
Some good thoughts, thanks. As I hadn't seen this guy show any real rubbish previously, I assumed he would only be re-raising with AA-QQ and AK. JJ and AQs were possibles.
I assume people...

Playing with Cowboys in Early Position
Not much info on the Villain, but he/she seems to have decent starting hand requirements and occasionally capable of tricky play.
Hero is UTG+1 with KK. UTG folds. Hero raises. Villain re-raises. ...

Re: Folding AJ on the button
You haven't given any details about your opposition or said whether your hand was suited but, assuming average players, I'd usually fold AJos to an early raise but re-raise with AJs. And, as you...

Re: 15/30 27o...bad raise on the turn?
I think you should usually be able to squeeze one more bet out of him by letting him see the river card, which is rarely going to hurt you in this situation. I'd be reasonably confident he has a 5...

I think this comes down to your read as to whether he has a K (which seems relatively likely given his betting) and particularly whether he's likely to have a worse kicker than a 9. Even loose...

Re: My friend the LAG
No problem calling him down to see what he's made of, if you're going to be seeing him at the tables often enough. I'd put him on Qx or A+rag after that turn raise, though, and be very tempted to...

Re: pre-flop question, stats based...
I think you've got to fold. In most games, I'd fold KJo in middle position even if there hasn't been a raise. Fine to call or raise with it in late position, but not against a raise and cold call. ...

Re: Too aggressive?
I'd bet out on the flop, hoping for a loose call from UTG+1 and MP3 and, ideally, a raise from the button which you can then call to avoid showing too much strength early on. All of which gets more...

Re: ATo TPTK, huge pot
I think you've got to fold AT (suited or not) to a pre-flop raise as it's far too likely you're already behind (to a decent pair or a better kicker).
Once you got involved, though, I think you...

Re: Confusing hand
Hmmm... A few strange moves by the BB, but it's hard to believe he would check-raise twice with no better than a pair of tens. I'd take advantage of his check on the river to get a free showdown as...

Re: AA vs, TAAG
If the villain is truly a TAG, I think you've got to conclude that you've either won against AQ (I assume he would have raised with AK, although I don't know whether he's the sort of player who would...

Re: Reasonable Kicker v. Reasonable Player
I think you can sensibly rule out AA and AK, (given the lack of a pre-flop raise), so surely the only question is whether he has AQ, AJ or A10 (I assume he's too tight to be playing and raising with...

Too much with AcKc from big blind?

UTG hasn't played many hands but hasn't been in the game long (so may be tight, but who knows) and MP2 has just sat down. However, I'd...

Re: trips vs a chip spewer
I'd definitely prefer a turn check-raise myself, followed by leading out on the river, because: a) you make drawing to a better hand more expensive for your opponent; and b) the river check-raise may...

Re: Over-Coldcalling (Online 15/30)
I think there are far more players out there who cold call with hands they should be folding, (like KTs and QJs), than those who call with hands they should be raising (like JJ). Which is a good...

I don't think calling it down to the river was a bad move either and certainly not on the flop (when you still had a backdoor flush draw going for you).
