Re: KQ vs sLA-P

[ QUOTE ]
Why do you guys want to check-raise this flop so badly?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I was checkraising to protect. But since there's only 1 opponent, that's pretty silly.

Weak TP, OOP, Paired Board, and a PFR

The PFR dude is a little loose PF, but not overly aggro PF.

Re: KQ vs sLA-P

I would also check-raise the flop, but once I got 3-bet on the flop I'm calling down.

Where should a PP 2/4 player play in vegas?

I'm a mediocre to good PP 2/4 player. I'm going to Vegas in 2 weeks. I was planning on playing at the Mirage 3/6. Are there other levels or venues I should consider?

I know this question kinda...

Re: Hey, didn\'t you see that I raised from UTG?

Insta-fold. Even if I had AK, too. That dude ain't bluffing.

SB isn't 3-betting the turn with anything you chop with or are ahead of.

C'mon now. That's really not an option in a multiway pot with some money already in the pot and a the 6th best hand in holdem.

My Biggest Problem...

I easily could have gone either way on the flop. Bet or check.

I think that the biggest problem in my whole game right now is I push to hard at the wrong times. The turn is where I think I really...

I have never seen this opponent 3-bet PF. I imagine he has a decent hand.

Re: AQ Turns 2nd pair, odd opponent action

Ok, so bet the flop. If SB check-raises me, call the raise, then check-fold the turn if I don't hit the flush?

Edit: Actually, with the NFD, I want to see the river with this hand, right?

AQ Turns 2nd pair, odd opponent action

Iv'e only got about 50 hands on the SB, but in that time he's been loose preflop but doesn't raise overly light. Postflop, he's aggressive without being too much of a calling station.

I'm assuming you mean opening in late position as you should normally open limp in early/mid position.

Never Open Limp? (No Hand Content)

So Iv'e been reading conflicting advice, so I thought I'd ask straight out.

Should you basically never open-limp? Either open for a raise or muck?

Also, in a similar vein. If everybody has...

Re: How can I protect my hand? Should I value-bet the river?

[ QUOTE ]
Your biggest mistake imo is not calling the flop 3-bet and raising the turn.

Ok, I get that. Protects my hand better.

But what were my other mistakes?

My flop raise didn't really do much to protect my hand. Should I have done something else here?

Also, should I bet the river or just check through?

Betting on the river?

I hear people saying things like this all the time:

"Better hands aren't folding, and worse hands aren't calling."

I understand this, sort of. But I'm not real sure what kinds of things I need...
