Re: Posting at work. Day 2
Lags bet scare cards, hoping you'll fold. Sometimes they have hands, too, reinforcing their lagginess. Calling here is not the reason why you keep getting creamed.

Re: 10/20 KK
I think you're ahead often enough to cap given what I can come up with for a range. JJ-99, AJc, QJc, JTc, and half strength 77.
The cap collects the max from flush draws while paying the same...

Re: Dumbest home game rule ever?
I played in a limit game where you had to "bet the raise". Every hand starts out as a $0.25-$2 bet. If you raise, that raises the lower limit of the spread, until you got above $2, at which point...

Re: Overcall? Buy Outs? Bet for Value?
A large part of the decision is the size of the pot.
There's only 7 bets in the pot right now. The chance to clean up two ace outs in a pot this size doesn't compensate for the extra bet you...

Re: Simpler
I like it. HU against the button alone, you should probably check-call because your bet will be classically -EV when called and his suspicious nature prevents him from folding 99. But UTG calls...

Re: AQ: Domination with Redraws
I'm inclined to fold unless you can say this guy is aware enough to three bet an MP open raiser with 77/KJs/KQ. The 10% PFR doesn't really tell me that one way or another.

Re: JT hand on 2/4 Party
Betting the flop hoping the CO will raise seems like a pretty good idea to me, though the pot may be just a little small. Somebody set me straight, please.

It's an estimate of total equity, so yeah, redraws against and runner-runner for. It's a WAG from me. Take it for what it's worth.

Re: PP15: i fold a flush draw
If I give you 2% equity when your flush draw is dead and 37% equity when your flush draw is live and always make you put in 4 bets on the flop, I think your flush draw needs to be live about 65% of...
