Re: PS $22 - Do you just flat call this raise?
I'm not worried about giving SB good odds, since there are so few two-pair or trips he can make which will beat us. It's only A5 or A2 we're potentially worried about--our call denies those hands...

Re: JJ hand from Super
Explain why you are all-in with two overcards and three broadways showing. I assume this is early when donks are still calling here wit A2.

Re: near the bubble in the party 75k; SB vs. BB
I'd prefer to define the hand a little earlier with a large checkraise on the flop, assuming he's disciplined enough post-flop to fold an okay hand. This would separate your hand a little bit in...

Re: Curtains Hand - 66 Lvl 2
My default is just to minraise it in this situation, unless you have a really tough player in the BB, in which case I might go 3x or 4x depending on stack size. You have position and probably the...

Re: obligatory FT brag post
Just finished 11th in another 50+5, missing the second bubble by one (11th-20th paid the same). Had 99 EP, raised all in, ran into tight player with KK. Oh well.

obligatory FT brag post
Thanks, 2+2 MTT forum. Finished 8th in this morning's PP 50+5 NL 3:00am. ~ $350.
It's all give and no take at this point, people. My posts are still complete nonsense.

Re: When not to make a continuation bet
One of the disadvantages of playing a hand post-flop from early position is that any attempt to get in a raise bears the cost of occasional missed bets and free cards. The late position player who...

Re: Blind v Blind, A-high flop
Given his tightness and his being aware of your tight image, a simple call will clarify the hand considerably. Another bet > half the pot when a blank hits the turn is easily foldable, and we can...

Re: another \"what would you do\"?
Tight guy with 30 BB calls for half his stack to a 10xBB re-raise. Seems like the best hope we could have is to isolate BB by going all-in and shutting down SB's steal (if that's what it is) and...

Re: Steal victim with 11 left in 180-man Stars MTT
Depends on what the stacks look like on the other table. Holding on for 9th improves your return 40%; 8th improves you 117%. Also, if some of those stacks at the other table are below 11,000, then...
