brits--help a dumb yank out?
I'm going to be travelling around the UK for the next month or so and wouldn't mind playing some cards while I'm over here. However, I have no idea how/where to find card rooms. I've seen a few...

I agree with you for the most part. But, I differ on one point. To explain, and to clear up some misconceptions everyone has about me and the circumstance, and hopefully to end all this,...

OK fair enough across the board. I'm still opposed to the flop allin, but the turn allin makes pretty good sense.
As it turns out, MP3 had flopped an acehigh flush and I miraculously saved my...

I still think you need to push. i dont see how you can balance not letting a Kh or Ah draw cheap w/ not losing a big pot if they flopped the nuts (or 2nd nuts).

Re: River play?
Very likely heart flush?? This sounds like nut-hunting to me. I'd say this is a really bad read and not worth considering.

Re: Sklansky made me do it
I don't know if a fold is necessary. The likelihood of being VERY multiway at 2/4 Party games is incredibly high. Consequently, no big deal there IMO.
However, given the way the turn action was,...

Re: Right time to push or just call?
I think there are two ideas here. I'd never fold, because top set is quite possibly the best hand here. The button was almost certainly betting this flop after raising PF, so a checkraise could...

Re: Hand review please
Here is the most concrete answer for the flop raise. If you just call, you price in the player behind you for almost any draw other than a single pair. If the SB is betting a draw, you're letting...

Re: Check the turn?
I think that without improvement, the turn is an easy check. In that you DID improve, you may well have the best hand, and your draw remains incredibly strong. The fact that he called up the SB...

Hand one--I'd raise the flop. You have overcards and the nut flush draw, and a lot of people behind you who might call behind you on the flop but probably won't call your raise, and if you get heads...
