Re: Huge River Overbet from a total rock
In the hand I actually had AK, and not 9s7s.
I instacalled the $80 on the river and tabled my hand immediately since it was pretty obvious it was good.
But on the drive home I got to...

Huge River Overbet from a total rock
2/5 NL at Windstar in Oklahoma. Terrible game. I have $600 in front of me. Villain has approximately $2500, and since I've only been here 30 minutes I have no idea how he got it. Every pot is...

Re: Game Selection: Money on the table.
I haven't multi-tabled NL 6-max in a while, but when I did, I looked for deep stacks also. I would also try to find tables where the open slot had position on a big stack or the big stacks at the...

Re: pushing in the orange zone (PP$150)
You're missing a fundamental difference between SNGs and MTTs. The payout structure of an MTT is so top heavy that accumulating chips is much more important than survival. In a STT (with 5 players...

2/5 Live NL I love playing big pots with 1 pair
I was at the Winstar casino 1 mile north of the Texas border on Friday and sat in 1 of 4 2/5 NL games (buyin of $500). About 2 orbits in, I had played basically 0 hands. I wouldn't normally be that...

Re: MP Steal A8-Super Thursday
Oh OK. I was definitely wondering about the preflop play. What specifically about this situation makes you like a call better than a push? I think I would be pushing almost all the time here.

Once you hit your mid pair on the flop I don't see how you can fold. But don't expect to see the best hand here very often. That play for me is pretty standard with my hand (mid pocket...

Re: Deepish KQ Hand
Villain's play in this hand is really weird. His min raise on the flop followed by the turn check makes me think he either has a weak queen or a draw. With a weak queen he might raise the flop...

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
I suck. I really just meant the hand in the original post. I thought you should have raised the flop there. That way you stack his AJ. I think the 2nd hand you described was fine.

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
You misunderstood my question. I asked why you didn't raise the FLOP. There's a good chance if you raise the flop, you are going to get it all in by the turn (in this case he would be drawing dead,...

Re: $6 rebuy Boat on river - Your line?
Why did you not raise the flop? There is an ace on board. Try to win big pots with big hands. In a $6 tournament there is basically 0 chance you don't stack this guy if you play this hand fast.
