Re: calling raises with aq
Position is crucial too. I'm now folding AQ in the SB and BB to a raise in a multiway pot, because I'll be OOP and can't win a big pot. (if there's just one LP raiser, it's a different story). ...

Re: KK OOP on an AQ flop
He's opening on the button, presumably his range is much wider in that position. He can have any pocket pair, for example.

Re: 400NL: AQo on SB, call the river?
I would've bet the turn, though that may be wrong. As played you have to call the river. You've shown weakness and a typical LAG will bet here with any two.

Re: Bottom set facing all in
It looks to me like it entirely depends on whether you think he can have AA-JJ here. If his range is QQ-TT,88,44,Ah8h, you're 56% to win and you have to call. If you take out the QQ and JJ, you're...

Re: c-bet bluff defense?
The simplest defense if someone is doing this is simply to stop c-betting against them unless you have a hand. Then c-bet, if they raise, reraise. If they start giving that too much respect, then...

Re: Bottom set facing all in
Raise pot on flop. I would've called turn, but I can't really see many hands that play this way that you beat !? I think TT plays this way, and you can see the other sets play this way too (88 and...

Re: 5/10: QQ vs. lolo
A simple counting argument would suggest calling here. Lolo can have a monster or air, and there are many fewer hands that make a monster.

Re: I\'m weak - 88 with Q on flop
Yeah, certainly the check-call is horrible. I guess it's a good idea to just play 88 OOP for set value, and in position I can bet the flop if it's checked. The fact that 88 might be the best hand...

flop is J-high with two spades
hero bets pot, LP calls

Second hand - I think you play it okay (check the river planning on calling any bet, hoping to induce a bluff from the missed flush draw). Possibly better is a value bet on the river. He could...

Villain is solid but tricky after the flop and can play some strange things preflop. I'm curious about how people play the flop and the turn. Does anyone just fold the flop? Certainly this is a...

Re: I\'m weak - AQ top pair, check-fold turn?
I just don't see how I can get the information to know if he's on a set, possibly AK, or a worse ace. If I bet again on the turn, it has to be 30-35 and I'm getting most of my stack in with 2nd top...

I\'m weak - 88 with Q on flop

I\'m weak - AQ top pair, check-fold turn?
Another dilemma on the turn. Villain is pretty solid, and will attack weakness. Again I feel like checking the turn is just giving the pot away, but betting again is spewing if he has AK or a set ?...

I\'m weak - KK in SB/BB battle
BB is sort of like a 2+2er, TAG but can be tricky and aggressive. Normally with KK when an Ace hits the flop I'm giving up, but I feel like I just surrender the pot here. In a SB/BB battle he can...

Re: 5/5 NL...Doing Business????
Hmm.. of course you're right, apparently I suck at math.
BTW I see term 3 as
(1 - N/44) * N/43
which of course is indeed the same as term 2 :
N/44 * (1 - (N-1)/43)
