Re: Live Game - Incorporating reads
Gotta bet it. I play live only and I cannot count the number times weak tights will check around when the third of a suit drops on the river. The weak tighties fear a checkraise. And if they...

Deranged is the winner as usual
The decision to bet out or raise is a decision that LOOKS FORWARD to the bets that should come in from that action. The decision to call LOOKS BACK at pot odds on whether to call or cold call. ...

Re: Is it OK to cold call in this situation?
I'll expand on what some people have implied - raise to isolate or fold appears to be the concensus opinion. Part of that is paying attention NOT to the maniac raiser, but to the limpers. THEY ARE...

I suggest Jason, that you see the world through the eyes of a good player. If everyone sitting at this table was your quality of player, your advice would be right on. However, since we have no...

Did you sit next to this guy at Commerce?
I read my SF Valley Daily News this AM to find a front page article on capture of Old Man bandit, who might also be the Fedora bandit. A Mr. Sykes, aged 57 or so was arrested AT THE COMMERCE CASINO...

Re: Probably know the answer but ... (help needed)
and for the boredom factor, stay at the same limit or lower, but play stud or Omaha for a session or two. If you play live, go online, if you play online, go B&M. I've found that switching games is...

The right question
Basic SSHE says that when a bet comes from your immediate right you, in general, you should either raise or fold. Calling this hand does not look to be right under any circumstances. A raise is the...

Re: 99 with limpers.
I share your concern about raising 99. I am working on playing more aggressively and now consistently raise TT, but by the book, 99 and 88 are "situational" raises that it looks like you should have...

WA/WB. Did Button slow play a Q on the turn after making his straight because of 2 spades board? Also, hand would have played differently had you bet the flop even with its connections. Pairing...

Re: Another JT hand. OESD on rb flop
Gotta bet it. You have the high end of the OESD and a backdoor flush draw and what may be two overcards since no one is showing an interest in betting a king.

How much credit do you give your opponent?

Since your weren't 3 bet on your PF raise - you had no way to put Button on the other AA or anything close. You folded to the cold call on a connected high card board after the turn.
