Re: PARTY 100 NL HAND analysis needed
I think the turn check is fine.
After you raise it to $12 and he calls, I think he's got QJ, a weaker king or maybe two pair (I would expect a re-raise on the flop from KT).
I check the turn to...

River (~$16): Td
Villain open pushes, I may have got the bet-size wrong in the last post, I think was only $17 or so, but the point is he pushes.
The likely flush draw missed, and I feel a...

Re: Who folds TPTK here?
Dear Stronghands,
First of all, why don't you get the hand history right : P It was BUTTON (not CO) who bet $4 on the flop since CO folded pre-flop.
Second, it might be helpful if you...

Re: Flopped the nuts... now what?
Thanks for the responses.
Under "normal" circumstances, leading out for pot or actually for more than pot is the play that I make.

Re: Aggression
At first, I didn't like your line, but your reasoning has convinced me. If you get called by an MP who checked, however, I think you need to check-fold any turn or river to said caller. Otherwise,...

Re: timing in betting
Timing could be a lot of things.
Slower times could be due to an opp multi-tabling, deciding what you have, deciding how much to bet, calculating odds, etc. Faster times could be obvious...

If I were in your spot, I probably would lead at that...

Re: Line check...
What hands do you put villian on?
He just completed from the SB and then leads the spade flop for 150% of pot. I think he has a set of 9's. I think you only have 9 outs.
I don't know if you...

Thanks for your response. I think you're right... I should have bet pot (instead of overbetting) to keep everything under control and then fire out a reasonable test on the turn. As it stands,...

Re: got caught speeding
I can see villian having the Ac and making a semi-bluff after your check, but once you check-raise and he re-raises it seems more like he is trying to protect against a lone Ac or Kc drawing out...

Opinions on playing weak aces from late position?
My friend and I are having a discussion regarding the Party 25 NL 6-max games.
I hold that in late position, limping in with weak aces (e.g. A3o, A2o) is positive expected value. It is not without...
