Re: K7s on the button
I don't really like the raise. I'd raise K9s, KT, A9, and 77 here and probably pass on the rest. If you had a more specific handle on the postflop play of these three, particularly BB and UTG, you...

Re: Missing Bets?
That's a good point, one I tend to lose sight of when we're 'obviously' ahead. I think having not bet the turn you might fold a slightly better pair but you probably won't get called when you're...

Re: Flop play with a big draw.
The only reasons I can see not to cap the flop with a comfortable 50%+ equity here are if you think you might fold a player (not likely, especially with your read) and if you feel it might telegraph...

Re: Missing Bets?
I'd curse myself for not raising the turn or betting the river, but I don't know if this is absolutely terrible. I think a 7 and 88 play this the same way, 99 and TT from a passive player (as well as...

Re: 22 defence
It is close, but since you're only getting 4:3 preflop and 4.5:2.5 postflop, I think you need to be winning more often than that. I may be calling this guy more of a maniac than he is, of course, in...

Re: Poor?
Second this... Image is important but if you're running bad, saving bets is better. If I had to make this play twice at the same table I'd probably take a break though.

Re: Poor?
I'd call the safe turn card and call any nonace river. MP could definitely have you beat, but he could very easily have a 9 or a draw (even something like TJ/JQ, especially if he has a diamond) or a...

Re: 22 defence
The passive fish play seems to have merit against someone who's particularly aggro (especially someone who will tend toward three betting a raise with nothing, instead of folding). That said, I'd...

Re: 87o in BB, flopped overs+ISD
Standard = opponent dependent. If you're up against people who will take TJ/Kx/Ax/any PP to the river on a flop like this, you can check/fold. If the average pot size has been tiny and a bet has a...

Re: 5/10: Turn and River play with 88
A lot of people give me flak for talking about default plays, because everything's situational. But you have to make a fair number (2-3) of decisions against unknown players even if you're looking...

Re: Important BB defense question
If you're going to be HU, you can defend fairly liberally, but not too liberally. Bad aces are alright, most kings, most suited queens, two cards nine or higher, pairs 44+. I don't like hands with a...

Re: Big pot with 55
Yeah, the postflop play seems right on. Preflop though I don't like what it takes to make up those 4-6SB that you're lacking, even provided the button, SB, and BB don't reraise and cut your odds even...

Re: Big pot with 55
Is this coldcall standard for anyone else? It seems pretty loose, even with a poor UTG/MP. I'd be folding here with this roughly 100% of the time.

Re: AJ suited and off-suited
Of course if your opponent is typical enough not to be paying attention to your style, play it in any unraised pot and reraise against any ultraloose raiser if you can isolate them. In highly...

Depends on the situation. A friend and I have remarked that in many positions in many games if your first card is a 3 or 4, and often a 5 or 6 as well, it doesn't matter what the next is - you can...

Re: 87s UTG (mark seif)
The only possible line here if he was thinking is if he knew his opponents would nearly always bet with a A or K and might bet at the turn but would fold to a raise - so he wasn't hoping for c,c,c;...
