Re: Results:
You made your own bed in this hand. By calling the rocks raise instead of reraising you sent the maniac all the information he needed.
Folding was your only choice after you called the rocks'...

Re: Borgata 10/20 hand
From your read on the BB you can put him on 8T just as easily as 9T. But since you describe him as LAG and not Loose Passive you have to think he'd push a draw somewhere in the hand (possable...

Re: 15/30 PP Hand
I like the turn CR better than calling down. I think folding on the turn is your best play. After 3bets on the flop you have to think at best your outkicked.
Turn CR gives you a chance to win...

Re: Already made $$$, Preflop Decision
Unfortunately the MP and SB called. Both turned over AQo, BB turned over 85o. The A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif were turned over. So from that I decided that...

Already made $$$, Preflop Decision
Turbo blind tourney. 55 players, top five get paid.
5 players left, players have rocked up so much that chip leader has 2.5 BB because of the structure. Blinds just doubled before this hand so...

Re: A Real Trifecta Against A Pro You Might Know
If the turn is capped, there is no chance UTG+1 value bets the set. So it would go check-check if hero attempts another CR, or bet-call on the river for no difference in total BB.
The only way to...

Re: ? to people who started with BR\'s below 100
I put $100 online, got $25 bonus, played .10/.20 until the roll got to $200.
From there I played .25/.50 until I got up to $250-300, that's when it started to get easier to build a roll, I...

Re: Do I call this river bet
I agree that raising is better than folding, but there are a lot of hands that could beat you. Cold calling a MP raise from the blinds could be any pair in the area of 88. But I think the busted...

Re: Do you beat yourself up after this hand?
I think you did all you could do to protect your hand, if it was the best hand. But I don't see calling anything on the river that isn't a Q profitable, but the size of the pot makes calling down...

Re: 20-40 Commerce 99
I think you call if he bets, check if he doesn't.
Do people really say "time"? I don't know if I would be able to stop laughing if someone did that at my table.

Re: EVALUATING HAND STRENGTH FROM THE BLINDS
The turn raise from the PF raiser I believed was a dead give away of at least AK. I think anyone sitting at a table with no real reads on anyone yet would do the same.
In my read I tended to...

Re: EVALUATING HAND STRENGTH FROM THE BLINDS
Gymrat I was going to try a c/r on the turn if the MP2 called, at that point I would have been certain I was ahead but the thought of check/3bet wasn't very appealing.
I guess as soon as I checked...

This might not have been the right time for this play but it wasn't a bad idea.
By raising the flop you locked yourself into your draw read, and if you are locked onto that read you have to bet...
