Re: How Often Do You Donk The Turn Here?
My standard line here in short-handed games against aggro opponents is to call pre-flop and check/raise this flop planning to go to the river. Cackle with glee when he tries to put you on a hand.

Re: Regarding the rake at 6-max...

You have to play more pots with a smaller edge.
These pots are activly contested either via the silly calls...

Re: Call River with AQo Unimproved?
He doesn't look like the sort I want to be bluffing off pots. Figure a call has a -EV of $3-4ish at worst. Small price to show that you will showdown with Ace high.

Re: Bet this river?
I don't like betting more than you have to in order to freeze him. I don't like giving good implied odds to suck-out on my pair, nor to reward slow-play.
Then again I play 100NL and under-betting...

Re: AK ON THE BUTTON 50nl
Your friend needs to learn how to bet. 1/2 pot the flop (hope to get re-raised), on the turn I'm looking at stack sizes and figuring out what it's going to take to get all the money in.

Re: Bet this river?
$50, if he just mindlessly pushes the raise button, then it's a stupid-easy call.

Re: A good example of a casual mistake.

But what if you check, UTG+2 bets, and MP3 raises? Don't you have to cold-call?

Re: kk vs maniac, dangerous monotone flop
This is out of my league, but as a small stakes NLHE and LHE player, must I point out the pot size relative to the money behind? Just about any bet ties us to the pot. Even if we're a 60/40ish dog...

Re: Your strategy for $25-$40/hr playing poker???
Play fewer, better tables and learn to play poker. A run at 3/6 or higher 6 max would probably do wonders for your game. Then move up or add more tables again. I can do those kind of numbers quad...

Re: $2/$4 FPS or good read?
Given that he posted, I think you have to give him a wider range as even the kinda-nitty guys will tend to find a spot like this to get out of line.
