Re: How to play AK against shortstacks
you are almost certainly a coin flip almost all the time, and he's raising a worse ace more often than he's raising AA and KK...that makes this a push to me.

Re: Flopped nuts turns to scary huge pot
I'd probably raise the flop. However, I think it's unlikely that SB is overbetting the pot on a flush draw. I think hero should worry more about a board pairing than a flush here. With MP yet to...

Re: How badly did I play this AA?
raise more preflop, other than that it's fine. You want to raise 4xbb plus 1 for each limper, so your raise should have been to 1.5...other than that, this is fine.

Re: I screwed this river up. But how bad?
I might bet a little more....your bet looks like a blocker and because of that it might get raised. Since you reraised preflop he has to think it's possible you've got the K...

Re: fire the third barrel?
well the reason I call is for a couple of things. I think my hand is best...but I don't reraise. He is not expecting me to wake up with AQ here...not to mention that the preflop raiser folded to my...

Re: Call this river?

If you check to induce a bluff then you must call. I usually prefer a little stronger hand to make that play but if your read is correct your hand will be good most of the time and the...

Re: fire the third barrel?
ok...just wanted to check my play here. I debated whether to check/call or just go ahead and bet. I thought if he had the flush I was calling a push, and if he didn't have the flush, but had a hand...

Re: Soda or Pop ???
In Texas, we pretty much call it all coke.
The conversation goes like this. "Would you like a coke?" if they say yes, then you ask "what kind?"
If you go to a restaurant and you order a coke,...

Call this river?
Ok I don't have very many hands on this opponent but he has turn and river agression over 5. He has bet weird a lot of times. I suspect he isn't always doing this with premium hands. I checked the...

Re: Overbet fullhouse again.
delete the 'texas' from the NL texas holdem at the top of the hand history in the converter...that will fix your jacked up action.

Re: AKs TPTK
I'm surprised this comment hasn't come up yet.
I HATE that turn raise. What is your plan if he pushes over the top of you? Don't raise when you can't call a push. If you are behind to two pair,...

QQ preflop decision against a perceived donkey
Alright, i've been running into a rash of these guys at the 25 nl tables. Their standard opening raise is 8-12x bb instead of 4x. Basically they are turning the table into the old 50bb tables...

No real reads on opponent here. I never reraise AQ out of the blinds..i'm assuming that's debatable but standard for me. I guess I shouldn't say never, i'll do it against perceived steals and...

Re: slowplayed AA hand
I don't think he'll call an all in with JJ, maybe QQ, and for sure KK, so I think he might fold 2 out of the 3 to agression, especially if the flop comes scary and i've reraised. Even party donks...
