Re: AKs. I Think I Found A Leak.
Thanks for the response. I'm asking b/c this is a leak in my own game. If I think I'm beat on the turn and the pot is big, I'll usually call down to the river for 1BB heads-up. In this case, even...

Re: AKs. I Think I Found A Leak.
Davelin - sorry to sound dense but I don't understand why a check/fold is in order here. Granted, you are most likely beat, but the pot is very big and if it costs you 1BB and there is at least a...

Boy, I NEVER would have had him on 77! Guess he was slowplaying them. Had you raised the river and he come over the top of you, that would have clued you in that something was wrong. At that point,...

Re: AKs. I Think I Found A Leak.
JrZ - I agree with your comments, except on the river. Why not check/call with the pot as big as it is. When the guy raised on the river when the 2nd heart hit, I had him on a possible flush draw. ...

Re: AQo hand
Based on his betting, I'd have him on QJ or Q9. I think you played it fine, but why didn't you want to raise the river, too? He was representing a Qx hand and never re-raised you when the 10 fell,...

Hand 1: I like your play, especially your flop raise. The CO betting...

Re: 88 UTG !
I think you played it well until the river. With one other player, you should bet. With two or more, check/call. The pot is way too big to fold.

Re: How Would You Have Played Pocket 7s?
Thanks all for reinforcing my play. I did fold, but I had a couple of hands last night where I folded and had I bet backdoor str8's/flushes, I would have won some nice size pots. Since I lost a...

How Would You Have Played Pocket 7s?
For all of you SSHE disciples - how would you have played the flop in the following scenario:
.25/.50 limit at UB - I'm on the button with 77. Villain is MP2.
PF - Villain bets, MP3 calls,...

Re: Correct Flop play?
You want to bet your backdoor str8/backdoor flush draw with a bigger pot. Pot is too small - fold the flop.

Re: Flush and Straight draw on flop
Re-raise the flop!!!! Nut flush draw, 2 over cards and gut-shot wheel draw!!
Turn is tough - with 6 people, you can figure at least 1 has the 2. I'd probably call b/c I still have pot and implied...

Re: JTo small Blind
PF is fine. Flop is a little scary, but both pot and implied odds aren't there. Fold on the flop.

I asked myself the same question when he continued to bet. This was a guy who played pretty solid up to that point. My first thought was that...

Another KK Question
In the BB with KK. I raise PF and get re-raised by a good player. I cap and we are HU.
The flop comes 3 diamonds, with no A or str8 draw. I bet and the LAG raises.
How would you respond?

Re: General question. Ax
Womble - in your example, let's assume you don't have a read on MP2. He could be betting a pair of aces, jacks, threes, pocket pair, etc. He could be bluffing. The point is that you don't know for...

You should consider playing Axs from MP or LP - you have a positive EV with these plays. Even A2s is a positive EV...

Re: I don\'t like my turn play - QJo BB
You should fold QJo from EP or the blinds against a raise unless you have at least 3 callers. This makes this a positive EV play. As others have said, this is a trap hand (easily dominated) so...

Re: check raise gone wrong what now?
I think you played this well. QJs is a trap hand, so calling PF is fine. The flop was great for you - top pair, good kicker. I prefer a straight raise here rather than a check raise b/c with so...

Re: T 9 suited...when do you lay it down?
Raise the flop to try and drive out the gutshot draws, who are getting 11:1. You have a backdoor flush and str8, plus current top pair (though weak) and decent kicker.
Turn gives you 9 outs to...

Re: KJs, raise PF?
I think you played this well. You're in EP, so I wouldn't raise KJs PF (though I would from MP or LP).
