Re: Bet or check?

Re: Pocket sevens with an overcard...
I'm not sure what you are accomplishing with your raise on the flop. Is this a value raise? If so, its a bad one. Its certainly not doing anything to protect either. All you're doing is building...

Re: Can I fold my overpair? Please?
Don't fold. You're only behind to QQ, JJ, a 3, or a river straight. All of these are pretty unlikely. You're pretty much only worried about two cards in the deck, the 3's. There are many hands...

Re: JJ vs SUPER LAG
"Even Super LAGs get aces and kings on occasion. The 3-bet on the turn was a little too much aggression IMO. "
I think the key words here are "on occasion." You're saying not to 3-bet, because...

Re: checking behind vs.... checking behind
Hand 1: I think you played it just fine. The question here is will he fold a better hand or call you with a worse one. I seriously doubt either of these will happen, so the check is good.

Re: JJ vs SUPER LAG
Most of the time someone does that call-raise thing, they usually don't have anything too strong and just want to build the pot for fun. People seem to do this alot with a small pocket pair, because...

Re: A9s in the SB
What if it gets checked through and a scare card doesn't hit? You missed several bets. If button raised preflop this play is perfect, you can be pretty sure of a bet here. With no raise, I don't...

Re: A9s in the SB
Your arguing symantics. It doesn't matter. You're saying that you'd rather have it checked through, so when it hits you can be happy you checked. But what about when it doesn't hit (The vast...

Re: A9s in the SB
Well, I assume you're saying that one of the callers either hit is gutshot or caught a third seven on the turn, but that is not the point. When I say they "have to" fold, I mean they "can't call...

Re: A9s in the SB
You said it yourself, that's weak-tight. The flush card will only hit the turn 20% of the time, so why are you so afraid of it?

Re: A9s in the SB
Gutshots definitely have to fold for one thing. Lower pocket pairs for another. Allowing this flop to be checked through is simply wrong. I stand by that.

Re: adjusting to online play
So I can expect noticably tougher competition online? I do usually play 3/6 live, and the competition is typically pretty poor.

Re: A9s in the SB
Play looks alright, but was there any reason to think the button was the likely bettor here? If it gets check through everyone just got infinite odds for any draw. Sure, your hand is vulnerable and...

Re: Flush draws...
I don't think anyone mentioned the extra value of raising for a free card on the next round, even when you might not have enough pot equity to value raise.

Re: Money for nuthin...
That's just a bad idea. You're hand isn't nearly strong enough to raise in this position preflop with two under the gun callers in front of you.
