Re: Missed a bet or Saved a bet?

Yes- I would raise 6th and 7th street every time here. I wouldn't be that worried about Seat 5's board.
Also, I would bet on 4th. If you have a hand good enough to call you should usually open the...

What makes you think he's going to bet your hand for you on fifth?

Agreed. He'd have to be pretty foolish to bet into an open pair of Qs on 5th. Unless he has a very...

One thing I've noticed is that many people double bet open pairs when that is all they have (or maybe 2 small pair) in an attempt to appear strong and drive people out.

Re: Humorous hand of the day

[ QUOTE ]
shouldn't 4 street be a fold? It seems certain he has AA and one of your Qs is dead.

Also, why did he check 5th?

No way is 4th street a fold.

Re: Sticky situation 7cardstudHi

Thanks for your views.
I think you are right - I should have folded on 3rd street. The fact that I folded to a single bet on 4th was probably an act of anger that I didn't make the fold on 3rd.

Humorous hand of the day ctd

I liked RandomUser's theme of humorous hands. Here's one I was part of the other day. I've never seen this before. The chances of it happening must be pretty slim.

Re: And the reward for the fishiest player of the day goes to

I don't think there's anything wrong with completing with the pair of nines from early position on 3rd.
With 2 higher cards still to play there's a risk you'll be re-raised but if this happens -...

Re: Sometimes you just have to wonder, what are people thinking?

Incredible! Oppo's raise on 6th street was a particular stroke of genius I thought. I hope you consoled him by saying something like "unlucky that" after the hand.

This hand reminds me of another...

This hand is from the same s&G tourney as my earlier post (Worst Play of the Day). I got stuck and was relying on a river card.

Unfortunate.
My advice is keep a large packet of peanuts within easy reach of your computer. That way you can avoid missing great hands like these when hunger strikes and you can also use them to...

Yup - totally agree with AndyB.
Not much chance of stealing the antes on 3rd but I guess it's a fair enough raise with your gutshot str8 and highest card showing on the back of your lucky 20mins. It...

Four card flushes

I'm never too sure about how to play 4 card flushes - specifically on 5th and 6th streets. Below is an example. Am I right to raise on 5th st?

Yes I take your point.

Re: Foxwoods 10-20: Trying to Read a Paired Doorcard in a 3-way Pot

I agree with what's already been said about raising on 5th st but other than that it looks like you are well in control of the situation.

Hell no. The pot is even bigger and it's again one small bet to him. So there's more of a reason for calling then when he called the first bet.
