Re: B & M in Los Angeles area

No, if there is a flop the money is gone. Although I don't think they take the 1 for jackpot unless pot is a certain amount. Oh yeah, one other thing, the standard raise is usually 15-20 bucks which...

Re: B & M in Los Angeles area

Nope $5 every pot!!! But I mean the players are REALLY LOOSE! I am not as sure about the Commerce, although I know the structure is the same.

Re: QQ from BB in raised pot - need help on diffucult hand

I'm not too sure I like to make this reraise from OOP with QQ every time but I will often do it as well, however, when I do I am doing it to give some definition to my hand. When he calls you have...

Re: B & M in Los Angeles area

I recently played at the Hollywod Park and they have an odd structure that I believe is duplicated at the other area casinos. 100 buy in is 2-3 blinds so you only get 33 big blinds so everyone...

Re: Should I just start using my own judgment?

I suppose if that's the situation, then I like the random call method. But you may be right it may just be profitable to call this most times if players are really willing to push these hands with...

Re: when hand reading fails

I agree with Malachii 100%. I think you have to raise this flop. First, you have a very strong hand that doesn't dread a reraise (it doesn't necessarily welcome one either but I think you win about...

Re: Should I just start using my own judgment?

In my experience at NL 100 and 200 this is rarely a bluff. I first started playing NL last year and this was one of my worst leaks. It has taken me a long time to get the discipline to lay these...

Re: laydown these cowboys?

My thoughts exactly. As I read the hand the first thing I thought is raise more on flop. You need to be able to get a read of where you are at or you will be lost the rest of the hand. I used to...

Re: JJ keep firing?

Even if your stack isn't $5 on the turn, I would keep firing. I like the pot size bet on the flop b/c you get some info. I would say it's unlikely he calls a pot size bet with just AK, possible but...

Re: Gen Theory Question: Flush draw facing pot sized bet, what to do?

Tough to put someone on a set though just from a pot size bet, unless you have a really strong read on him. Pot size bet could easily mean top pair, overpair, or set. I do like your point about...

Gen Theory Question: Flush draw facing pot sized bet, what to do?

Hello all, this is a situation I find myself in quite often and am not exactly sure wht the correct way to play it is. I generally mix up my play in these situations but would like to know if you...

Re: Posted blind, flopped trips and get bet into. Action?

First I want to note that I thought this was a big blind hand, why are you calling UTG with 84? Otherwise, I like the line.

I thought I liked the suggestion of raising the turn but then the...

Re: Continued ...

I don't like the check on the flop b/c now you really have no idea where you are on the turn. I think it has been said already but a 3/4 pot bet and fold if check raised. If someone is slowplaying...

Re: low set into straight/flush draw

agreed, I would have raised much more than min raise on flop (probably at least 3x his bet) and then pushed all in if he raised or pushed.

Re: Do you give this up anywhere ?

I think the way you played it you probably could have gotten away from it on the turn. If he had only top pair on the flop he had to be worried about the fact you called the flop (after a pfr) and...

Re: How bad did I overplay AA here?

Sorry, yeah I pushed all in too his mini raise, so I ended up making it $78 more to him. I guess I could have bet a bit less than pot and I usually do vary how much I bet in this situation but I was...

How bad did I overplay AA here?

Ok, I've said before my weak spot is overplaying overpairs and TPTK so I want to know if this is a terrible play or just a marginal one. I was a bit anxious to mix it up as I had been on vacation...

Re: New to the forums, thought I would post a hand

I agree this is a tough call but one I would probably make. You gotta think what are the hands he has that he would do that with. AK probably, KQ maybe, QJ maybe, J9 maybe, then there are K10 and...

Re: SSNL : Playing one table

I like the idea of keeping the forum up. When I am reading posts and thinking about others hands it does focus and sharpen my game, and helps keep me from making stupid decisions. Thanks Beav. . .

Re: First Post Did I overplay KK?

First Post Did I overplay KK?

Is this too aggressive w/ KK on the turn? How do you protect against the drawing hands here? Reraise the flop? My plan on flop was to call and push if draw card doesn't hit. I look forward to...
