Re: local card room taken over by aggressives
If your image is tight (and the other players at the table have some idea of what tight means and recognize it), I would try to isolate the aggressive player. This is especially true if his raising...

Re: What does Commerce owe this guy?
Everyone has made valid points about the dealer and the player, but I think everybody has missed one crucial point:
Why didn't anyone else at the table notice the 2nd burn hitting the muck PRIOR...

Re: I never check-raised...so what?
Joe,
Well played on all streets. I do have a question - if a blank had fallen on the river (say a 7/images/graemlins/club.gif), does that change how you would have approached the river. Would you...

Re: 15-30 AQo hand: Did I dodge a bullet?
If the button is aggressive and can beat tp/tk, I would expect him to raise the turn to charge the draws the maximum. I would also expect him to raise the turn with AQ,KQ, and Q10. When he only calls...

Re: 15-30 AQo hand: Did I dodge a bullet?
With the button being described as 'loose-aggressive', his three-bet on the flop doesn't scare me (too much). I like the call of the three-bet on the flop, but I probably would have raised the all-in...

Re: AQs Against A Maniac
"I don't know that he is quite a maniac, but he raised every time I saw him enter a hand and he 3-bet K2o."
I think that meets the criteria of being a maniac.
Since he's on your immediate left,...

Re: QQ in the small blind
So then what do you suggest the correct play to be? Flat calling the initial raise? Raising all-in? Folding?
I'm not trying to argue, just interested in your thoughts.
I did re-read his post...

Re: QQ in the small blind
Make it $50 to go. He's on the button in a position to steal the blinds. Even though you don't have a solid read on this player, it's safe to assume the likelyhood of him holding AA,KK,AK is fairly...

Re: Probability in bowling question
I have to agree with Ray on this one. There is a huge difference between a guy who averages 190 and one who averages 230 (not just 40 pins a game). If I were you, I'd try to convince him to give you...

Re: Yet another bowling question
Ray,
What do you mean you 'moved him around the lanes'? Did you make the individual move on the approach and still shoot over 200? The guy's either an idiot or so full of himself that he thinks...

Flop-
I prefer a reraise on the flop to a flat call in this situation. I know your opponent is an unknown, but if I held a jack in his position, I would also raise with the...

The dealer's there for a reason. Wait for the dealer to ask to see the cards. If another player gets upset, tell him you called and are waiting to be shown the 'winning hand' ...

Re: 1010 hand
I think he's saying find out where you're at early and as cheap as possible. If you're bet into (by the pre-flop raiser) and you hold top pair 2nd kicker & you raise, you'll know where you're at and...

Re: Adjusting for JACK POTS

I agree with you 100% preflop - Play solid poker and if you get lucky (and I mean LUCKY) so be it.
One question - What about postflop?
Situation I came across last weekend:
