What are you doing with that stack?
Why didn't you rebuy? C'mon...
Here's a follow-up question for you. Similar game, 5-10 blinds, JJ UTG, you make it $30 to go. Folds to button, who makes it $130 straight. Is the correct...

Re: 2 hands against a world champion...
Firstly, I hope that's referring to the bigger home game, and not the one I was at. There weren't any players remotely close to forcing that when I was there.
Secondly, get that second table...

Re: top pair second kicker facing huge turn bet
Why would you want to blind steal in a game like this? The money is made by taking someone's stack, or doubling your own. Not taking $3. This is a trash hand... oftentimes worth a limp, but not a...

Re: No limit in vegas
The $600 buy-in isn't really $600. It's 10-20 blinds, no max buy-in. You need at least $1,000 to sit in that, and you'll be by far the smallest stack if that's all you bring.

Re: An unorthodox hand
For this to work, the following needs to happen:
Gee, there's a ton of money in this pot... but I think the guy was playing T9 and just hit another nine, so I'm going to fold my queens.

Re: An unorthodox hand
Umm.
There's $520 in the pot. You decided BB has an overpair. You have a pair of sevens.
Board pairs. Scary for the overpair guy. But he has to call $40 to win $600 if you bet. He's not...

River bet
Tewall,
I think the river bet is not only good, it is crucial.
Remember the fake-bet check. This implies to me that he has something decent, but wants me to check behind me. No one is tricky...

Results and question on thought process
Matt,
I called, for just that reason. As for the recycling, I did get up and leave, and put my name back on the Must-move when I returned, but unfortunately chose to sit 30-60 instead and...

Results and Additional Information
One thing I probably should have added was that this player had called a pot-sized bluff on the river I had made on a board of AQT75 with A6 offsuit, when I had JJ. He didn't do this on a tell, he...

Another 10-20 NLHE hand
KQs in the cut-off. Two limpers to you, you make it 100 to go. One caller, directly to your right. He's weak, prone to making some bad calls, and also throwing out an occasional bluff. Just weak. ...

Re: Commerce 30-60 Check-raise to get a free card
Good thoughts in theory.
But in my experience of playing that game for the past 3 months, you don't get a fold anywhere near 1/3rd the time. More likely 1/8th the time. People with AK will call...

Odd, I've seen it spread on a few different occasions. Haven't been there in about 8 months though.

Commerce 30-60 Check-raise to get a free card
(I believe it was) Josh W's post last week made me think about getting that free card with a check-raise from early position. I didn't even have to be super dramatic, as he was.
I'm in the BB...

Re: 10-20 2 hands all fold to an LP
Hand 1, may as well throw out a raise preflop, but otherwise that's fine. Your read is he's on a flush draw, it hit, and you didn't lose an extra bet.
Hand 2, fine preflop, fine on the flop... I...
