Re: Raising a gutshot and backdoor flush... 68s on the button.

I dislike play on all streets here (wait, I do like the river call)

Preflop - this is a pretty loose call, even on the button. It's not horrible/aweful and if you're looking for a change of pace...

Re: 88 flops bottom set, ugly board.

the remaining villain 3-bet the flop... youre not going to drive him out no matter what. the question is "is my hand good"... I think its good often enough to cap it and then call it down.

Re: 88 flops bottom set, ugly board.

Why are we so sure that the villain is on a draw and not top pair or 2 pair here. The flop action was
UTG Bets / HERO raises (excellent!) / villain 3-bets, 2 fold, hero caps. Couldn't the villain...

Re: You fold too damn much! - Ed Miller

Against ordinary opponents they would be wrong to fold, but since you clearly used your jedi mind tricks on them ("this little one's not worth the effort") you can't fault them for folding.

Re: River fold okay? Black KK, insane action.

Deadmunny:

I am in agreement with you here. Preflop UTG is just calling... he certainly could have suited connectors or AQs, but 66 is just as likely (and I'd say more so than AQs). He hits his...

Re: Coach told me this was an \"unusual\" play.

would an Ace be included in "likely overcards that the ABC Player would hold?" If so look at the board again and see why a 5 is vey bad. If you still don't get it....

Re: Top Pair on Monotone Flop, What\'s a Good Line?

Re: Another TPTK

I really dislike the call on the flop raise - you aren't hoping to catch a card to improve so raise (make it $5 to go or maybe $6 to go). If villain comes over the top again you have to fold. If...

Re: Flopped a flush. Did I play this right ?

2 thoughts here:
1 - the question of how good a Q-high flush is is dependant upon if the board is 3flush or 4flush. In your case if a diamond came on turn or river I'd be REALLY nervous as the A or...

Re: If you find the stupidest player you have ever seen....do you follow..

it was a 40 yarder! HUGE difference if you're going to roll out a rookie kicker to win a playoff game in OT. The offense was ROLLING at that point. The Jet D had been on the field for like 20...

1 hand at $50nl:

I'm in the BB with TT, he is on the button, he calls preflop, I raise to $5, he limp reraises to $15, I push, he calls.

He has A4. I do not win the hand.

Re: First foray into B&M NL, did I play this correctly?

I agree with previous poster.... I'm not a big fan of the PF raise w/ 77. If you can get it limped with a few opponents and hit your set you're more likely to at least dble up.

Otherwise... I...

Re: overpair out of position

any help on reads here? Opponents tendencies etc?

I think if you bet the turn you should fire on the river as well. but villain's reraise PF and call on the flop might make me slow down.

It seems reasonable to expect that BB's ten (given his free play) will be with some random kicker, and I think Wayfare looks to be good most of the time here.

I don't like the turn bet, though, and I hope you can see why. How many outs do you have? How many opponents? Given Button's 3-bet on the flop, what is his likely range of hands here?

Re: TPTK: How ARE you supposed to play it?

I like how you played it. If MP2 is the calling station you suggest he is then he either sucked out his draw or just called you down with a weaker J. The call from the CO on the turn is...

Re: \"The Hammer\" At $50 NL

what hand(s) did you put the BB on? He raises you on the flop and then calls your re-raise - this would concern me.

That said... I don't know how I could possibly talk myself into laying this...

Re: JJ capped then action stopped on rag flop?

I think the flop is a clear case of "You can fold/call/raise and calling is the worst of the three." Here's how I see it:
Assume you are behind, the only way to improve is to catch your J. You are...

Re: Zen and the Art of small stakes NL Cash Games by tek

OK... so say 4 limpers ahead of you with A9s in the CO you limp (button folds his 72o). The flop is A 8 4 rainbow. You hit your Ace, you've got a decent kicker, there are no real straight draws...

Re: Zen and the Art of small stakes NL Cash Games by tek

Interesting read. Having exactly ZERO Zen background I appreciated the (apparently) VERY simplistic recap.

The "DON'T SLOW PLAY" and "DON'T BLUFF!" advice is a good reminder. "Don't" might not...
