Re: Tunica
If you haven't made reservations yet, you're pretty much screwed, right? I was pricing rooms on the web and the numbers weren't pretty. I hadn't initially planned on going, but now that the event...

Re: Rolled vs paired ace door
I am pretty sure I would just call. I put both of your opponents on flush draws, and unless the guy in the middle is a special sort of player, I doubt he will fold his draw to a 5th st raise.
If...

Re: Any Way Out?
I don't think that stats on the hand are particularly helpful, since you cannot possibly put Tc8c6c on his hand (maybe you could after observing him for a while, but from an outside perspective I...

Re: Funny Hand
I was 3-tabling at the time, and I didn't notice the limper.
Since I'm pretty aggressive anyway, I figured a open-limp would look suspicious. Plus, these guys always think I'm stealing anyway! ...

I remember reading somewhere that you should try and check quads somewhere . . . I can't believe I actually got action . . .

Re: Stud vs Hold Em (low content)
Really? I've beaten HE up to 20/40 online for a couple of years now. About a month ago, I just had to take a break from HE, so I've been playing Stud only. I'm just amazed at how much easier hand...

Re: $10/20 stud hand
I consider myself to be a pretty good hand-reader in stud---but I'm not confident enough in my reading to dump this hand on 6th st with this big 'ol pot in the middle.

Re: Questionable 3rd street raise
If you feel like you have a reasonable shot at stealing the antes, this is fine. If you're seeing 4th st 6-handed everytime, I think passing is best.

Re: Any way to play this hand differently?
Why are we folding on the end here? Sure, you're beat 90% of the time (though something like (Ts 6s)Qs was possible for the enemy), but the pot is big and a call offers you some bluff protection for...

Re: Semi-Interesting 10/20 hand
With the pot this big and a guy coming out of nowhere with a raise on the river, folding a straight to anyone for one more bet is atrocious, IMHO.

Re: 20/40 Getting aggressive
1. This is a small game, and in my experience you don't need to make plays like this to win in this particular game.
2. This "play" just doesn't seem very sound, and I don't understand the...

Re: 20/40 Getting aggressive
4th st is fine, but you're looking at big trouble once he pairs 5th. Maybe it's just me, but when he leads out, it isn't to represent 2 pr, it's because he doesn't want to miss a bet. If he were...

Re: Rolled 8s, RIVER??
Just calling is best. You told him you had his queens-up beat on 6th st and he's still firing. Not weak-tight in my book.

Re: Trouble on fourth?
Failing to reraise on 3rd st is horrendous.
I realize that raising "doesn't accomplish anything but get more money in the pot," and that is the point. Hero is likely to be first to act on 4th st...

Re: home games in the cincinnati area
Is the Longworth's game dead? The 10/20 O/8 game there was sweet! I've been swamped with school and unable to play live there or belterra in a month, so I'm kind of out of the loop!

Re: 20/40 online hand
I think capping preflop out of position with AQ is awful.
If I think I'm ahead on the flop, I think that calling the 3-bet and check-raising the turn is much better than capping the flop. With...
