Re: KQ hand - help me
This looks OK to me apart from the turn bet - as 42it says, better to try and check it down as you may not be ahead of the Button and you can't fold out the AI player.

Re: AK squeeze play--good,bad, awful?
I think this is very risky with deep money and is probably -EV. Frankly it looks like FPS to me. You could have avoided this by not limping AK UTG but raising like you should. It's an OK move with...

Re: Tough river decision
I like your play on the flop and turn with the possible flush and straight draws. I hate this spot with no very reliable reads. It's marginal but I think this is a fold.

Re: Which line do you take?
If you want to do anything other than folding, c/r the flop looks good, as a lot of people will do this with a Jack. I certainly wouldn't do this every time but once in a while you can get away with...

Re: AA - faced with an all in on turn
You're very rarely ahead here. It seems an odd play by villain but this is a clear fold IMO. My rule of thumb is that the later in the hand a villain raises/pushes when you've shown strength, the...

Re: Fold or Call
People do c/r all in on the flop with some weird holdings. I also had a similar one the other day, where I had an overpair, put him on a flush draw and called. Adapted to OP's flop he had 2...

Re: Losing value or prudence??
[ QUOTE ]
You're way ahead IMO, if he even has an ace (unlikely) it's very weak. Being 75/25 I think he'll call a small-ish value bet though with whatever he has (a J? pockets? weak A?). If he c/r...

Re: 25NL: QQ pf - tough decision
You're way ahead of SB's range here - re-raising to get HU is good although I'd make it $13 or so. If CO sets you in, call and hope he thinks you're trying to cut him out with a marginal holding. ...

Re: KK/AA typical problem for me
I wouldn't worry about the flop bet - don't forget that part of the point is to take the pot down there with your one pair hand, so if everyone folds you've done your job as they could have outdrawn...

Re: Poker Room 1-1 NL, AJs hand.
The 4.5:1 pot odds make a call tempting, but the fact he has deliberately given you those odds with his mini-raise makes it unlikely he is bluffing and dictates a fold. Having said that if he is a...
