Re: Hand...
I think 75+% you'll see a bet or a C/R from a FD here - which is still a biggish number but not quite as high as I guess you think.
And I agree partially on the chances we're good -- I think...

99.9% of the aggressive stealers I've played against would either bet or checkraise this turn with a flush draw.

Yes, many would. But your hyperbole is too much. ...

Re: Stars bigger than Party, gotta Love it! :)
Stars has a ton of play money and micro limit players (and lots of low $ tourney players). As Obsidian points out, game liquidity at mid level ring games is much better at Party.
But I'd...

Re: What is PokerRoom 10/20 5-max like?
The games are OK. Very LAGgy, with lots of 55/25 sorts of guys and much fewer 40/8 guys. 5-Max seems to send some into silly aggression, and it will have a different tempo than Party or some other...

Re: Don\'t play blackjack shortstacked
What's the problem? You burned a lot of his outs if he's got 3 - 7 down.
Never mind if you have no more money at the table, a pair of eights is awesome. Two seperate pairs of eights? Awesomer!...

Re: Turn Line?
Bet the turn. You very well may be three-betting, too, depending on what happens. I find it hard to believe that CO checks a set on this turn and I think you're almost certainly ahead of him; if...

Re: Q9s
Yeah it sucks to get this checked through. But honestly, this flop is getting bet like 95%+ of the time. We're first to act, and there is a reasonable chance that one of the guys before PFR donks...

Re: Q9s
I started writing a post thinking you hit your straight on the river and evaluating overcall versus raising.
I don't like the river call. Yeah, pot is big, yada yada yada. But you described CO...

Re: River Decision
I call. I think this is a bluff or a 7 or an 89 hand that didn't want you folding to a turn raise way more often than a worse hand that pays off a raise. It's tough (impossible?) to put him on hand...

Re: Weird situation...
You're making a lot of assumptions here. You gave no read, so I'm treating him as unknown. You have 44 which means that if he's C/Ring a worse hand, it is total air or some draw. Do people do this...

Re: Fold my flush?
No one mentioned the flop.
I think you're much better off check-calling here. Yes, you have 3 callers so arguably you have more than enough equity to raise for value; however, when you raise a...
