Re: Should this be the hand to go broke on?
I actually think a fold here is the best option, unless you think either of the two people involved in the hand will lay down coinflip hands (like say 88-JJ). If you think you have a bit of fold...

You're probably not going to get any responses because, quite simply, your play is fine. What else can you be expected to do in this situation? The crucial point here isn't LAG, it's Lefy -- if...

Raising a bluff
This might belong in the poker theory forum, however I'm not posting there because I'm looking for a more practical answer pertaining to my normal game (small stakes NL).
Anyway, the proposition...

Re: 2 pairs no g00t? - 100 NL 6-max
I too would raise that turn. I think you'll often see a club draw making that donk bet on the turn, in addition to hands like AK/AQ. The only hand I'm actually scared of is a set, which in reality...

The key here is not the implied odds, but rather the times he will often be able to take down the pot without a showdown. If he makes a fairly strong bet at the pot no matter what the river card, as...

Re: Tough spot with JJ
This is not a tough spot. There are few hands that beat you (KK, QQ, AT) and only one of which is probably possible given the play so far (AT). KK/QQ might be shown down every once in a while, but...

You guys really think QJ played it badly? I disagree completely. I think he played it fine, with the exception of the river.
If you have an aggressive player on the button, QJ is a fine hand to...

Re: a semi-theoretical question
Alright, let's do it Ben Franklin style and make a list.
Pros
If he's semi-bluffing a non-nut flush draw, you take away one of his outs and give yourself a redraw if it hits on the turn.
If he...

Without a line on UTG+1 as a semi-maniac (which it appears he is) and MP as a serious calling station (which it appears he is), I think the fold's good. Too many people will be limping with high PPs...

To list the hands you're scared of: 77, 88, A8, A7, AK. All of these are distinct possibilities to be played this way. ...
