newb question not in FAQ
I'm curious as to how I can figure out whether or not I'm a winning bettor. Given the number of bets, ROI, etc., there should be some algorithm for figuring out with some level of confidence if I'm...

I have been three-betting AJo alot recently against ok/not quite tight players raising from MP. I would have folded in the BB. Position and the lead is worth a ton.

Re: Why Should I Raise?
I'll take a crack at it.
1. While AKs is a clear equity favorite over a bunch of loose callers, it may not be as big a favorite as you think. In EP, letting in a bunch of loose callers behind you...

Re: Anyway to Get Away From My Overpair.... JJ
Folding the river for one is crazy, if you want to fold do it on the flop. It was 3 bet and capped behind you and you have one pair. Do you have outs? Yes. Do you know what they are? No. A jack gives...

Re: Common Hand 1
What's the thought process behind betting the turn if you're going to fold for one more bet? Would you have called if the CO folded? (If you were specifically trying to charge AK for it's 7 outs, I...

Re: I have a set, check/fold?
Here's an idea. If you're going to put in 9 bets with the second nuts, call the turn, and then fold the river with the same hand, just call the 7th bet and see a showdown. Were you drawing to your...

Re: Folding trips
Way to outplay yourself. The raise/fold line is used too much. You have trips and could be splitting with any ace worse than AT. If you're behind you can split with a lot of river cards. If he has an...

Re: Bad Fold with a big pot?
I'm really amazed whenever people post about live games where players are so tight and predictable that you can fold strong hands because of a little action.

Re: 77 in MP1 vs one EP limper
Folding is ridiculous if you don't have a feel for the table yet. I think it's ridiculous in any situation. Raise if your playing style demands you take control, limp if you don't mind going to the...

Re: KJ from BB Party 15 Easy River Fold?
Does UTG adjust to the fact that it's 7 handed or is he playing like the table is full? I wouldn't dream of folding that in the BB at a 6 max table, so if he's playing like he knows it's 7 handed,...

Re: A really stupid idea
It's not stupid if you understand how big the swings are, especially when you're first adjusting to the games. I jumped from .5/1 to 5/10 after doing my homework and did fine. My first 50 BB...

This is certainly player dependent, but many players play in such a way that who will have an equity advantage before the flop with AK. There was a recent thread where someone folded AK pf to an EP...
