Re: AQo UTG: what to do against a position bettor

Well, I wasn't the one with AQo... but started thinking about how I might play the hand if I were AQ.

I thought that the button would be on a draw. Perhaps raising and betting out again on the...

Re: How long can we tilt for?

You're treating tilting like you can't help it. It's a mental thing. You're going to have to get on with it. It's one hand. You lost. MOVE ON. You'll win the next one.

You can't win every hand you...

Re: what do i do?

1. Your raise was WAY too small. 500 at least IMHO

2. This flop sucks for your QQ. You're behind any hand that would raise, or call a raise. While you DO have outs to Broadway, a Ten isn't likely...

Re: I\'m I overplaying QQ

I agree. If you KNOW you're ahead in this hand. Push. You need to take a few chances early on in the tourney anyway. Taking them with a good hand is ever better. If they draw out, so be it. Move on...

Re: PLHE flopped set.....what\'s your flop action?

PUSH THE FLOP:

If your opponent has a higher pair (AA/KK) he's going to call you here anyway. Especially if he has the backdoor flush draw. Lets say he has (AK /images/graemlins/spade.gif ) You...

Re: Trips with good kicker

I think you need to throw in a three bet on the turn. The odds of you both hitting a strong set aren't very good. I'm guessing he's on a high pair JJ-KK. I wouldn't slowdown on this one.

I think at some point you have to believe you're beat here. Personally I would've just called in EP with TT on an agresso table.

Re: Flopping trips vs a pro

What more could you be looking for with your ATo? The flop was great, if he flopped a boat... well so be it. It happens.

If it's me I'm either doubled up or going home on this hand.

Re: LP with 33, folded to you, you just got ITM, blinds 400/800

Personally I would raise here almost every time. Given you've already placed, it's time to take advantage of some of the stacks and steal a few pots here and there.

2400-3000 would be my personal...

Re: BEWARE OF THE BOTS!

While bots ARE out on the market, I think you're being a bit overly paranoid about it. They're out there, but you don't run into them every day.

Re: MY 80-160 good and bad list...PS 100-200 to come later

I think it's kinda rude for you to be calling people out on who's good and who's not. If you're a good player yourself you'll know who's good from the moment you play them.

No free info in this...

Re: Driving a manual in Ireland

It is the same. You'll do fine.

Some advice... Buy plenty of maps. Locals are generally hard to deal with. Everything is "up the road a wee bit"... which can mean anything from 1 mile to 20 miles.

Re: Confused and Frustrated

While your post was great, I don't think playing a TAG game is always right. There are other ways to win at poker and sitting and folding your life away isn't always correct.

Perhaps I should...

With a little more detail added to what you meant by "don't change your game", I agree with you. Basically, don't go on tilt. lol.

First off he never said he was considering doing it for a living. He said he plays just for fun. Recreational player. So your whole post is pointless.

Re: How to make a deal w/ a money backer?

I would shoot for the 50/50. Given he's not backing you a whole bankroll, and it's just a few buy ins for tournaments 50/50 would probably work well for you.(and him for that matter).
