Re: AA in the BB
I may not have been clear enough. I actually lost 2 out of three. Depite this you would still put the extra bet in at this point? In actuality, I doubt that Pot-odds were running through my...

Re: Good position to bluff?
I like the play. Nice read you your part. I think that stack size has a lot to do with when you try to make this type of play. For instance, if you have $400 and he has $400 at a $1-2 PLO game and...

Re: A,A in partypoker 200k guaranteed tourney
There is nothing you could have done. Basically you made a choice to try and milk AA in early position by only making a marginal opening bet because you wanted to be called. A player with a...

Re: Please analyze this NL hand
I agree with KurnsonofMogh that in a satelite tournament, (where usually finising in the top 3 or 4 is not that important) that taking big risks with pocket 7s is unnecessary. I would not have any...

Re: Flush draw

Re: SNG endgame -- how to play 44
Fold it. You are right on the money cut-off with the opportunity to get a lot better hands than 44. My hope if I were in your position is to fold, wait for a good hand and hope that two other...

Re: NLHE Tournament hand.....Played right???
I think your play was correct. Raising him on the flop probably saved you money. He had a great hand and limped in. He probably wanted to get more than just one caller. The other day on pokerstar...
