Playing UTG Loosely
I'm sure this idea is moronic, but it's been on my mind for a little while, so let me know what you think about the idea.
To raise UTG, you have to have a monster.
To limp UTG, it looks like a...

Re: Your call?
I'd probably have a problem with this if I were at the table. We have a guy who grabs an entire stack and drops the bottom couple of chips. I think he's guaging his opponent's response while...

Re: Posting blinds OOP
It depends on what you want your table image to be.
If you want to be seen as someone who is a loose, impatient player - you post. If you want to be seen as someone who is a tight, patient...

Re: Go with my read or pick a better spot?
You have to fold.
You have to put your opponent on a club here. That being said, you are probably ahead here, but there's no sense in pushing with second pair, weak kicker, and no club-draw. ...

Re: Commentating Penalty
Shouldn't it be a penalty if someone says something to try to influence to outcome of a hand? Like "He's Bluffing!"

Commentating Penalty
We have a problem with people in our Home Tourney who think they need to commentate the hand. They say stuff like:
"Q9 looks good."
"Be nice to have QJ."
It irritates the crap out of me, and...

Re: home tourney question
If you're playing in a more serious tourney, they'll let the players finish the hand. Then the guy who exposed his cards will be assessed a 10 minute penalty.

Re: Would you call??
I understand your play. He checked & called the flop and turn. Once he checked the river, I would have suspected something was up. I probably would have checked the river behind him.

Re: hold \'em or fold \'em
You called the Flop bet, thinking your hand was good.
If you thought your hand was good, you had to call the turn bet.
Personally, I'd dump it after the flop.
Oh and by the way, seven outs...

Re: table talk ethics
In the OP's 3rd situation, suppose 1st player leads out and 2nd player says, "I know you're bluffing! Someone has to call that." Then he folds.
Is that ethical?

Re: New user: Basic Math Question
You're still making it harder than it needs to be.
Suppose you look at your first card. There are 3 more like it out of the 51 unseen cards. Which means, 48 of them won't make a pair. 48:3 is...

To the OP,
I don't think you did too much wrong. If anything, I would have semi-bluffed all-in on the flop. He would have called and I would have lost. The same result would have happened, but...
