Re: An old live hand

Thoughts on the hand:

Re: Maybe Stupid PF Question KJs

For those advocating raising KJs UTG, I would be curious what kind of profit you are making? Do any of you have extensive databases AND usually raise KJs so that we could look at actual numbers?

Re: Three-Betting A9s and Other Silly Shenanigans

W.

I think McGee hit this on the head. In the SB, this is not a place you want to be iso rasing from, and I would think EVEN with A-10o and AJo, especially against a player with the stats you...

Re: AHHH the power of the button...

Hi Crunchy,

Do you think the preflop limp is fine? Good? Standard? Depends on the game?

Does anyone think folding is right?

It feels like a limp or fold to me and I can't seem to come to...

You don't have to change reads at any point to play it out this way. The turn is a good bet even if he thinks he may be against a K. His hand is worth showing down. He isn't getting...

Re: River Action?

I feel like this may be one of those hands you have to close your eyes and bet, I can't see winning unless he folds...and by betting you may get AJ, AQ, AK to fold.

If he is reasonable, and has a...

Come on. Calling a preflop raise with J8o is plain awful - from the BB or not. This is simply not a playable hand, unless you're in for free.

Re: The thing about multitabling...

Most seem to say the cumulative big bets simply make up for less than optimal play.

I think there is very good way of aiding in your analysis of post flop play while multi-tableing. A while ago...
