Re: Bellagio $500+40 Hand

I ended up mucking the hand. Other than a set, the only hands I could really put either one on was a pair higher than 9 or A-9. The big blind and all-in raiser had each acted too strongly for me to...

Bellagio $500+40 Hand

Interested in thoughts on a hand I played in the Bellagio $500+$40 last Sunday. I've never posted a hand before but this one has gotten mixed reactions from other players I've talked with.

This...

I'll be in the Chicago area for business next week. I'd appreciate any suggestions on the best card rooms in the area. I'll likely be playing a 4-8 or 5-10 HE game if that matters. Thanks for the...

Is Party Poker a safe place to play?

I am a long time PP player and have never had any problems or suspicions about the games on PP. I have other friends who are absolutely convinced that cheating is rampant on PP and PP is likely...

Re: 4 hands, 3 big slicks, 10th place

Overall, I'm pushing a little more with AK 1st level. Probably 75 to 90.

1st hand - Played well though I don't think you needed to push all-in to price him out of the flush. 300 would have done....

Re: KK hand for review

After some thinking, I see where you're coming from a little more clearly. You have a point, assuming you've made your decision to go broke with your Ks.

Re: KK hand for review

Villain is betting no matter what hand he has. Either he has an A or he thinks his pocket pairs are ahead. You didn't give yourself a chance for the villain to fold his pair to a bet.

I give up...

Re: KK hand for review

You're right.. if he has an A, you're toast whether you check, call, raise, whatever. If he doesn't have an A, checking makes this hand a whole lot harder than it needs to be.

Re: KK hand for review

Betting out at least represents the Ace and you give yourself a chance to win the hand right there. Checking of any kind shifts the power to the villain and now he's putting pressure on you even if...

Re: KK hand for review

Agree with Unarmed that a bet on the flop is a solid play here as well. You'll know ASAP if he's got the ace. Don't really like the c/r. Just gets more money into a pot you're likely behind.

Re: 88 level 2

Betting the flop and checking the turn when a 6 comes off? You were probably beat all along and you played it that way. Good news is you can walk away without too much damage.

Re: KK hand for review

B*tch of a flop. Personally, I push with KK preflop there though your big bet was solid. I think you get better value pushing because there are a LOT of flops you don't want to see and only a...

Re: KQo, a little post flop play

Agree with the consensus here.

Preflop - KQo is a tough hand to call a raise with out of position - even with your stack.

Post flop - possibly too much but I don't mind it. Morons aside, that...

Re: Some SNG Newbie questions

Interesting perspective as far as just calling. I probably don't call as often as I should but this just seems like an obvious push. I suppose the logic could be the end result is going to be the...

Re: Call here? Or how to play in general...

Agree with the other poster. Nothing wrong with completing and checking the flop was good, but you were clearly behind after a $90 bet and 2 callers. Should not have called the flop. The turn bet...

Re: Some SNG Newbie questions

All answers assume you're playing with solid players. Don't know what $ level you're playing.

Situation 1 is an easy fold. Hard to imagine you are ahead at that point. It is a huge overbet...

Still Steaming - Should I have called?

This hand knocked me out of the $200K PP tourney last Saturday. We were down to about 450 players and I was a bit above the chip average.

Full table. Blinds are around 75/150.
I'm in the small...
