Re: 45s 200-400 hand
The only play that seems like a mistake to me is your three-bet on the river. IMO, the most salient possible holdings represented by your turn check-raise are two pair (e.g., T...

Re: Final Three Decision Point
[ QUOTE ]
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I feel that if FF is moving in 33% of the time, then a medium PP like 77 or even 66 is going to be the better hand the majority of the time. A move-in 33% of the...

Final Three Decision Point
Nearly six hours into this no-limit tournament, I had been battling three-handed for some time when the weaker of my opponents, Fast Freddie, started moving all-in preflop around 33% of the time. My...

After flopping TPTK, you'd be an idiot not to bet out immediately after making a good-sized raise preflop.

Re: deep 1-2 AA
Your check on the flop is suspicious, and your $25 bet is terrible (too small) in my opinion. This bet gives villain odds for a draw, and may encourage him to run a big bluff. I think you should...

Re: AA hand at LC
I understand your preflop limp.
I can rationalize your flop check.
I am troubled by your turn check. I would not want to risk giving another free (or cheap) card while holding the probable...

An overlooked argument for reraising all-in
In my hand description, I wrote: "MP would only reraise this amount with AK, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, and very possibly TT." I did not say that MP would ALWAYS reraise that amount with those hands. In...

Results and Discussion
At this time, about 62% of respondents favor calling before the flop; 21% would fold and 17% would reraise all-in. I am in the minority that moved all-in. In the actual hand, I lost to MP's AK (LP...

Re: Reraised with QQ: Let us take a poll.
It is true that calculating whether moving all-in is positive EV would be fairly easy. Despite not having done the simulations and the math, it did seem to me that moving all-in would be positive EV...

A few days ago I posted a QQ hand. Though two posters graciously shared their opinions, I would like to elicit the input of a larger sample of our community. Thus, I would be grateful to those who...

Re: Reraised with QQ: What now?
In estimating the EV of moving all-in preflop, it is important to consider the value of the dead money when LP folds; the edge that QQ has over AK may also be significant. [Furthermore, since I...

Reraised with QQ: What now?
In a ring game with $5-$10 blinds, you have $500 in your stack and QQ in your hand. You open for $30 in early position and MP makes it $100 to go. MP is a reasonable player who you believe would...
