Re: Some players are just baffling.
Who knows?
But in addition to the other replies, I would put TT and JJ in the mix of possibles, although I think A(s)T, AJ or even AQ, then A7, A6 are more likely. With the high-middle pair he...

Without attempting to slight anyone (or overrate anyone), I am trying to compile a list of poker greats. Off the top of my head I come up with Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, Amarillio Slim, Bobby...

Re: eg 77vAK
I think the far greater danger is that you will use this kind of "thinking" to justify calling when you should clearly be folding.
If you knew your opponent had 77, you would fold your AK (unless...

1. One thing that might bother people is the scene I witnessed at Binion's earlier this month, a young mother with a 3-6 month old longingly eyeing the poker pit.

Re: WSOP laydown
We can agree to disagree about the laydown.
But if UTG makes this play EVERY TIME he gets AA, and is only .5% capable of making it with "any 2" -- then it's even money, AA or any 2 (after the...

Re: What would you do in this situation?
I think I am missing the question, cause after the raise and re-raise, the all-in is attacking . . . well I calculate at nothing left in your stack (1600 + 1600 (raise) + 1600 (re-raise), = 4800 out...

Re: My prediction for the final table
It was sort of trash talk from an Ivey fan. He asked for "predictions" of the final table. I "predicted" Ivey and then didn't bother to fill in the other nine seats.

Re: On the Bubble...Big Mistake?
Given what others have said about UTGs possible holdings (any K, any Q), AJs may be the favorite as much as 80% of the time and only a small dog around half of the remainder.
What are the odds...

Re: Part III -- What do the others hold?
I am not going through the calculations, but I thumbnail it at less than 30% that anyone else has a hand as good as your AJs, with the most likely "good" hand being PPs.

Re: Part II -- How is AJs doing?
Of the hands discussed, AJs is a big dog to AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK and AQ. It is a small dog to TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22. It is a big favorite against AT, A9, A8, A7, A6, A5, A4, A3, A2, KQ,...

Re: How should I have played this hand?
To me it depends. If you raise AND:
1) You get a caller or two, you are happy.
2) If it rolls around to LP or the blinds, and out comes a big raise, you almost have to lay it down, even...
