Re: AJo......Stage 1 of play along
In my opinion this is not a case of waiting until the turn to raise to protect my hand. I believe the real question lies in how often are we ahead given a reasonable( ie. Average) small blind. If...

Re: AJo......Stage 1 of play along
Since we have zero information on the small blind we must assume he acts in a way consistant with your average 2/4 player, which is to say a CR on this flop means straight, set, two pair, or flush...

Re: AJo......Stage 1 of play along
I'm not sure of this Harv, but how often to you think we need to be ahead to 3-bet here. Should we be 3-betting even if we think we might be behind here? The only hand the SD reasonably...

Re: AJo......Stage 1 of play along
The SB will generally NOT lead the turn if hes on the flush draw and misses. If the SB bets out a diamond turn I think we're probably behind and should NOT raise. At this point he probably has the...

Re: AJo......Stage 1 of play along
An unknown SB has a few hands here, some possiblities are AQ or AJ(less likely since you hold one of each), KT for the flopped straight, a set, or a flush draw.
AQ is a decent possibility...

Re: River donkbet on scare card
I think you're ahead here ALOT given the discription of this player. If the river card beat you you would have been checkraised on the turn(ie. KJ or TT). JJ or KK probably would have been raised...

Re: River value raise.
You can raise here if your ahead 55% of the time he CALLS. Most likely he has a spade and you'll lose, sometimes he'll be bluffing and fold, and rarely he'll call with a lesser one or two pair hand....

Re: Why do 2+2ers raise the flop with middle pair?
This is generally worse on drawless boards as the bettor more likely has you beaten. In the example given A95 two flush, the bettor is more likely to be betting a draw then on a K83 rainbow flop. ...

Re: 88 Turn Raise
Pre-flop is borderline, I fold this generally unless I can expect more ColdCallers behind or very loose blinds. Flop is good, I'd fold the turn. You're very slightly ahead or way behind. You can't...

Re: PF raise with QJs?
Raise about any two in this situation, even if the SB calls you're in good position. You're getting 2.5-1 on the raise, 4.5-1 or 5-1 on the flop bet, and sometimes you'll just make the best hand and...

Re: Massive 5-10 pot (QTo)
Did you seriously fold top two on this river? 26-1????
Your probably beat by MP4, but you're telling me he doesn't have a smaller(or same) two pair 4% or the time?

For better or worse I'd raise here, expecting a weak ace to cold call two somewhere in early position, spike a 9 on the turn and lose to the flush draw by by seat 6.
But seriously my standard here...
