Re: 2/4 99 in BB, flop an overpair
The problem with flat calling preflop is that you have next to no information here. The $4 raise on the button could mean many, many things here, a bigger wired pair actually being one of the more...

Re: 2/4 99 in BB, flop an overpair
Actually I don't particularly agree with just calling preflop in that situation, you have some equity in a 99 preflop when no one has made a significant raise, especially at a 6 max table. The $4...

Re: 2/4 QJo SB - anyone play it differently?
You'd prefer to play a small pot here since you can't even improve enough to make a strong hand with this board unless the two higher diamonds come which is nothing to base a hand on.
That being...

Re: 2/4 NL Call or Fold?
Not having any read at all on the guy makes this tough. What can he have that you beat? AQ? Very possible. AhKh, AhJh, Ah10h are all posibilities as well. What has you beat? AA, QQQ, J-10, a...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Given this board do you think Player1 having a set would have checked the flop and potentially given away a free card? Remember that the 2 people Player 1 has behind him are a very tight player and...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
I've already clarified this in several other posts, in a few of the early responses I got switched up with Player 1 and 2 before I realized that I had done so. The preflop action is Player 2 in mid...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Certainly I'm a bit surprised by some of the responses, the ones I'm surprised about most are the preflop suggestions.
The inital decision on the flop could go either way, sure I was drawing to a...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
The initial post clearly states that I did indeed flat call with QQ on the button and my reasons for doing so. This player is extremely tight preflop, he raised twice the size of existing pot in mid...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Thank you all for the feedback, it's been very interesting. My apologies, in a few posts I've gotten Player 1 and Player 2 reversed which has been confusing, I'll try to correct that now. This was...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Couple of quick things, I am on the button, I neglected to mention on the flop Player2 initially checked. For this particular player and table, Player1's $50 bet into a $70 pot on the flop is pretty...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
#1. Again, I have very good reads on both these players, I've played a lot of hands against both so I'm quite confident about my read of AA, KK or AK from player 1. Player 2 is in a much more...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Hardly. His $20 bet is less than 1/16 of my stack, if I hit my 1/8 shot for the set and I have position, I'm very, very like to double up if he has AA or KK and if he has AK and the flop misses him...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
Considering the depths of our stacks, folding is a poor decision. I'm basically drawing to a set or a board I can use in some fashion but the depths of our stacks relative to the bet means that if I...

You say I'm potentially drawing dead to the Ah but the only scenario where the Ah scares me is where one of the players has AhAx or AhKx and frankly by the time I have to make my first initial...

Re: NL 2-4, Tough decision with QQ on the flop.
The situation I'm in on the flop is that the person who is the real unknown, the SB has checked, there's a 2/3 the pot raise from the initial raiser which is a bit weak for this table and player,...

Doyle in the actual program for a start and Doyle seems willing to give credit where credit is due, even in Phil H's case when Phil was milking TV time.

Re: Where did $2M come from?
3BB per hour isn't unusual at all for the best player at the table to average in a rotating game lineup where skill levels at the various games are widely divergent.

Chip Reese's expectation might very well be that in his regular cash game. His normal cash game has 10k-20k blinds and by all accounts he wins at that game with regularity. Even assuming a paltry...
