Re: Any opinions on this hand.
Preflop, a meaningful reraise would require at least 1/3 of your stack which is about the worst case for big slick if you get called and would make you pot stuck if he moves in. So it's either all-in...

Re: TT 10+ SnG Truepoker
With 4 limpers, a pot sized raise would have been to 225 which is about 1/3 of your stack and would put you in a very bad chip position if you get called and an even worse spot when someone puts you...

Re: 2/3 NL $100 buy-in at Commerce
There's more than 225 in the pot when it gets to you and, given that he raised 4 limpers from the SB, his most likely hand is an overpair. If the flop would have been 987 rainbow, I'd say call and...

Re: NLH - Interesting situation for Presto
With a T300 ante, there should be T11100 in the pot when it get to you. You are better than 6:1 to have the best hand. Let's consider the alternatives (a typical 4BB raise is assumed for the 1st,...
