value raise on come

I got flamed for this at Party... Seemed legit to me, as the preflop raiser was very loose-aggressive (something like 40/20/2) Anybody want to chime in? Thanks in advance.

Re: Try this scenerio

The hope is that good players will give you credit for a better hand than you have and fold AJ or KQ. 3.5 small bets there for the stealing, but you have to assume somebody's calling. Maybe you...

Re: One of my problem areas + example hand

I've recently (after reading SSH) started value betting the river more, and, so far at leat, it's been noticably profitable.

Even so, this, for me, is borderline, and probably a check-call.

Re: hand protection/value betting

You're right... After a little thinking I'm convinced that this is a faily clear check raise to protect on the flop.

Re: Good fold or just bad play?

[ QUOTE ]
I probably shouldn't have entered the hand without at least one caller in front.

Of course you should! 88 is a good hand. I would 3 bet this flop.

Re: QQ when an Ace hits the flop -- two hands

[ QUOTE ]
Second hand, I would check the river. Your flop raise may have just scared a weak ace into check-calling.

Re: QQ when an Ace hits the flop -- two hands

Hand 1: Call. 13.5 (almost certainly 14.5 after utg calls) to 1. It's just a 2-outer, but call anyway. SSH stresses the point that when you are the pf aggressor, you shouldn't fold too often for...

Then what? Call down or fold if two bets back?

Re: QQ capped on two streets

Would MP2 play this fast w/ JJ or AhKh?

This is the sort of question I ask myself and seldom know the answer to.

I fold, muttering.

Re: Can I look at one more here?

If I understand SSH correctly (and I don't), a raise here makes sense for two reasons:

1) Free card (if you need it)
2) Buy outs by folding the gutshots and bigger 9s

Edit: But wait! The pot...

Re: check JJ in BB 1/2 Stars

Well, that would be 3 overcards. Which, for JJ, would be a scary board indeed.

Incidentally, my response was an attempt to address you're lack of satisfaction with earlier replies. I was...

Re: check JJ in BB 1/2 Stars

I believe there's just over a 50% chance of an overcard on the flop. That means there's nearly a 50% chance there won't be one. Also consider that when when there is an overcard, there's no...

Top 2 line on B\'way board

First hand at table. No reads on anyone who got involved.

This felt right, but it's a situation I'm not really comfortable with. Any advice/criticism appreciated.

Re: A3s from SB - Few questions.

Why not check and call the river? It costs the same as betting and folding, and it gives you the opportunity to induce a bluff the times you are ahead.

Is the thinking that calls from a lone A...

Re: Scare Card with a Small Pot - Fold or Call?

Fold. Too many ways to lose and not enough in the pot to make taking the chance worthwhile.

Re: Playing Queens when overcard hits

FWIW, I agree with caggin. In my experience (such as it is) the pre-flop raiser waking up when an A hits usually means one in his hand. But I call down. When I win I say a little thank you to Ed...
