Re: Overpair vs a maniac!
No, this looks fine, as long as you were planning on raising most turns. This turn card is as bad as they get, though, so calling down is fine.

Re: Slowplayed AA
I'm more inclined to fold the turn, than 3bet it. Either way, I think calling down is better than 3betting. If he doesn't have it, you give him a chance to fold, and if he has it, you lose the chance...

Re: Party 10/20
Against an unknown at 10/20, I lean towards check/calling down, but you really need a read here to "know" what's right.

Re: im a butcher
If he is enough of a maniac, then I like the turn bet. You will get raised a lot with ace high and worse.
I like the flop bet as well. Getting button to fold AK, AJ, AT or KJ (maybe even JJ or TT)...

I bet out here. CO might just have been taking a stab at it with a weakish hand, and even if he has something the spade might scare him. If you check, you should definitely be doing it with the...

No solid read, but villain seems no the loose/passive side (only 20 hands, though).
I was gonna check/fold the turn (?). Can I call the river?

Re: 10/20 single table video - edited
Looks pretty good to me.

Maniac raises in the CO, super loosepassive coldcalls in the SB, you fold A4o. I would have called getting 5:1, and...

Re: Official December goals post
1. Must think before click.
2. Learn to love the fold button as much as the rest of them (More specifically, stop making so many [censored] stupid calldowns at 10/20, when I'm nearly sure I'm beat)....

Re: Semibluff to full bluff...
It's worth noticing that he raised UTG. This makes it less likely that he has K-high (KQ is possible, K9s maybe), and as others have mentioned, if he makes it to the river with A-high, he is probably...

Re: this felt bad
On the turn there is a really good chance you are behind. This guy seems kinda weak/tight, and he just raised you with 4 to a straight on the board. I don't think folding is unreasonable, but I would...

Re: AQ against TAG
I use this play a lot, but rarely against TAGs. There is a good chance, you will fold out the hands you beat, and get called down or 3bet, when you are behind.

Re: slowplay or raise?
You need to raise to give gutshots incorrect odds to draw. This is not a safe flop for your set against 8 opponents.

Re: Did I misplay this hand?
Usually he will bet a better queen here, when you check to him, so you gotta bet yourself. Don't give him the opportunity to valuebet his good hands and check behind with his worse.

Re: Is this a mandatory calldown?
3-bet. Only 3 combos of QQ and 3 combos of 88. There are 12 combos of AQ, 12 combos of KQ and 6 combos of KK. Even if he doesn't 3bet KQ PF, you are still way ahead of his range here.

Re: Horrible board, massive pot
First off you should cap PF. JJ has a HUGE equity edge against 5 loose opponents.
I'm folding to the river raise. I think you are good here never.
