Re: Bellagio 15-30 - 3-bet, call, call, call?
play seems good the way you descibe RHO. On the turn you make the descision to continue or not. If you call the turn you have to call the river. Alternative play to fold on the turn cannot be much...

Re: Fold
If you play like this the good player will notice that and will bully you out of every hand. If he has a better hand here.. too bad but you can't fold a set for 1 raise!!!!!!

Re: Getting Back Into It : AQo on the Button
When UTG 3-bet the flop just call and then check call turn and river if you don't approve. Only reason to cap the flop is to get a free card on the turn. If someone bets the turn after you cap I...

Re: it happens
Nothing you can do about it. If you put less then 8BB in for turn+river I think you play too conservative and miss some value betting when you have the best of it!!
Be happy that you were not...

Re: What is playable here?
Calling with every hand will cost you a lot of money in the long run. Dont play hands like 27o 48o. I would definately loosen up by playing all suited cards, all cards with 0 or 1 gap and both cards...

Re: Folding an over pair
I think folding is very weak here. It costs you a maximum of 2 bets go to the river. People think I play very tight and I mostly do but if I would find out that you make these laydowns headsup it's...

Re: very poorly played AA?
I probably would just flat call preflop. But I think you get an extra opportunity to make extra $$ when the K comes on the turn. I would check and hope for a checkraise. If he checks behind you then...

Re: 100/200 pokerstars hand
RAISE!!! The only had that beats you is KK and that's very unlikely as there was no reraise be4 flop. Even if the player was tricky to not reraise with KK he would probably wait till the turn to pump...

Re: 40-80 at commerce, You make the call
You can close the action for 1 bet here. With this pot I would always call.
But to avoid this problem in the future: Muck 44 from early position. And 44 plays better against a big field (no set no...

Re: 300-600 hand
I would bet the river. The only hand you can lose against here is JJ I think. A Q or KK AA would bet out here as it's not a good situation for a check-raise.
Three bet preflop debatable. You have to...

Re: A 10 off UTG played corrected??
Preflop is a fold and it is not close! Don't fall for the trap to play looser cause your opponents do.
Flopplay is good. You are probably ahead but the board looks scary: bet and raise!!!

Re: Hand To Talk About
Mason,
I understand your play until the river. What would you do if he reraised the river? I guess you made that play for future value. If not then I think calling is the best play.
If you ...

Re: 22 in the BB
If you need a set (less than 1:7 on the flop) to continue then DON'T PLAY IT against 1 opponent.
If you bet into a passive player and get action you can easily fold, otherwise you win the pot.

Re: Check-Raise Bluff
I mostly play 10 handed games in which you need to show a hand a lot of times. I like to semi-bluff reraise myself to change my play at it works good for me.

Re: 3 3 hand in LMP
I think you played it well. Your hand is not strong enough to raise but with the low board there is a good chance you are against two overcards. Just call down and hope your hand is good. The 'extra'...

Your call is justified by the pot odds. Expect to loose though!! What hands can you beat here.
There is NO WAY you hand drives out a better hand. A weaker hand is more likely to semi-bluff you then...

Raise the turn. Let them pay for their draws. They have correct oadds if you just call.
After calling the turn you raised the river. I might call to keep the players behind me in. But it's close...
