Re: KJs in the BB
Whats more... a small suited ace won't fold the flop for one bet, but it's not going to raise either, and it'll sure fold if a king hits the turn. A check just invites someone to make it two back to...

Re: KJs in the BB
I draw the line for a PF BB raise at KQs too. Sometimes above it. It basically looks like a deceptive raise to me, so why stop at KJ? You're not a million miles from raising 67s... and you're soon in...

Re: Suited 4-2 free play
With 15 BB in the pot and two aces on the board, a call is automatic. The rest of the hand is difficult, though.
The "VERY loose" UTG would presumably play almost any two suited, which is a worry,...

Re: 1/2 Common hand
Give it up on the turn; you missed your hand. Having got to the river you have to check. Button either has an overpair or AT (I'd say JJ is likely) and will bet it and you will call and lose, or has...

Re: Pocket Queens

I think it's intriguing hand, actually. Is there any chance of some results?
1. What on earth is MP3 coldcalling 3 bets preflop with? KK? JJ? AKo?
2. UTG...

It's awful and you have to fold.
And I'm not sure how you're supposed to beat KQ.

Re: QQ and monster pot ... how would you play it?
Don't credit CO for a big pair or AK because he capped the flop. It's multiway and he has position, there's plenty of reasons to go for a deceptive cap. Don't make it any easier for him to bluff you...

Re: QQ stop-and-go vs. tough opponent
Having described your opponent as 'very aggressive', you can't fold this sized pot just in case he's got one of the two hands that can beat you (and possibly the 9s). There are at least two hands (TT...

Re: How do you play this flop?
I'm not happy with letting go of this flop... the only card I don't like is the jack (and surely AJ and probably KJ would have raised). UTG and CO could both have a PP and while there's no guarantee,...

A lively but not tough 2/4 6-max game. I had been playing reasonably tightly and solidly but had remained low-key (ie no trickiness). BB has been chatting away and seems quite excitable. Had made a...

Re: Fold AK preflop????? HAND ANALYSIS
There are times when you need to fold AKo preflop. This is not one of them. There are 11 bets in the pot with more action guaranteed. You don't fold for 2 bets.

Re: $10/20 Hand: Big Pot and No Pair
I've been trying to restrict my impulse to auto-raise the flop in these situations. You've clearly not got the best hand, and unless it's ultra-passive, you're not going to get a free card. Even if...

It's a nice move, and one that I could profitably use more often. Any paired suit and I'd want to get the raise in on the turn though.

If your friend will call the flop with anything, you should cap. If you don't cap you're representing AK and intending to raise the turn on anything except an Ace to knock out your friend and see...

Re: AKo, TPTK, 3-bet on flop, What\'s my plan??
When you're three bet pf by a maniac, you have to cap. CO's call is certainly uncomfortable, though.
CO could several things here, but the only two you fear are the unlikely AA and very unlikely...

Re: Folding TPTK on the Flop in an Enormous Pot
It's an easy call, no? It's 5-handed if the BB calls, and you're damn right I'm hoping for an A or J and check-raise / check-re-raise.
No reason at all to re-raise pre-flop against various other...
