Re: biggest leaks in NL?
From my perspective, this is a huge difference between limit and NL. If you're not laying down the winner occasionally in NL, you're probably calling too much. It's not a big deal when it's only...

Re: AA at a B+M
If this game is anything like my local casino's $1/$2 NL game, a raise of $17 after two limpers is only going to get you called in several places. I think you absolutely have to make it a bigger...

Re: Value call with the nuts here?
Yep, you're absolutely right and it's obvious to me now that I read it. I absolutely will not get more chips if he misses the draw. Basically, calling rather than pushing would definitely be -EV.

Value call with the nuts here?
Live $1/$2 blind NL with deep stacks (entire table over $200). If this needs to be in the small stakes forum, I apologize, but the hand is haunting me.
I have ~$230 on the button. Preflop raiser...

Poorly played turn leads to wasted river bet??

I lurk on these boards mostly, but wanted to post this hand. I think I played it well, but I've been running really bad lately and wanted some impartial response to the hand.
I don't really like...

Re: Overpairs on paired boards
I would actually put him on a small pair (3's-8's). Realistically, an overpair would have raised pre-flop (probably). Unless the guy is really aggressive, he's probably going to check-call a flush...

Re: I have to call, right?
Thanks Beavis, but you can expand on that? The pre-flop raiser had min-raised every single hand that he played, so I discounted a big hand from him. I also knew that all the limpers would call, so I...

Re: I have to call, right?
If I (and the rest of the table) have much deeper stacks, would it be more correct to check the flop? Fold to the pot-sized re-raise?

I think I probably should've checked on the flop, instead of leading out, but the money would've gotten in anyway. Once the bet got around to me again I was getting about 7-1 on my call. In...
