Re: AA vs. JJ flop... advice please?
Raising to $15 seems right to me - you have to find out how strong he is... While the $3 bet smells like trips, a tricky player also would throw that out there as a defensive bet trying to get odds...

Re: Re-raising AK with position?
I think that the decision to raise/call also depends on what position the original raise came from (in addition to the aforementioned bits and pieces). If it was from UTG and there are no callers,...

Re: River decision
I'm checking the river for damn sure... There's no "value betting" when there is a flush and two possible straights out there and you don't have any of 'em. Too many hands that beat you here to bet...

Re: KK in UTG+1, somewhat scary flop
Tilt's advice seems good to me - bet the pot on the flop. I don't know if I would push on the turn even if the 2rag hits though . JJ, TT are certainly within the top ten hands that your opponents...

Re: KK in the BB with a raise to you
I favor pushing here with your stack size. Raising up to $30 here means that anyone who put in $12 w/ any kind of a hand will probably call the $18 more. The way I read it, there is $45 in the pot...

Re: How to catch a cheat?
I've ever only heard slowrolling as being when you pretend like you've lost on the end and then turn up the winner just to be a jerk. I haven't heard the other description.

Re: Good line against LAG?? - $506max
I'm just asking here so that I can learn - but why not check-raise the flop? (a) It's cheaper now that it will be on the turn/river, (b) if he's bluffing, you win the pot right there possibly. He...

Re: Hand versus the tight rock
