Re: Possible Cheating (Long-ish) Please Help
Even in a friendly game, the deck is always above the table and should always be cut. If somebody forgets to cut the deck INSIST that it be cut. Very few people find this offensive because for...

Re: How\'s my line 15/30 Live
If I were playing live 15/30 and had no read on the button's style (unless he were a new player) I'd feel pretty silly.
That said, I don't see how you can put the button on a bluff-raise unless...

Re: preflop hand selection mp
If the game is really loose and passive I would obviously limp ATs utg, but what about when it's a little tighter, e.g. probably only 1-2 more players on avg will enter the pot behind me if I limp...

I feel like I've been getting myself in trouble with my pf hand selection lately, esp when I'm about 4 off the button. In a typical-tough 15/30 ring game on party where you're likely to get 3-bet...

Re: 75s
oops I misread the hand, my bad, I thought Hero was calling pf against one limp. I wouldn't be a big fan of that, yeah might as well complete from the small blind.

Re: Is it broke? - QJo

I would imagine either A-J, Q-J or J-T(s). A player is more likely to check the river when a K comes with J-T or Q-J than with A-J.

Re: party 15/30 river line (Results)
I was scared and possibly baised by the fact that I'd been on a bad run of getting rivered, so I checked and it checked around. My opponents had AJo, ATo, AJo. Presumably they'd all have called my...

Re: party 15/30 river line
I figured since there was no flop bet there must be a few aces out, somebody is gonna bet the A with 4 players left to act behind me.
I agree with just leading flops with sets in big pots often,...

Re: party 15/30 river line
I think that most people familiar with the 15/30 game on party would agree with me that even if utg+2 doesn't bet, I can expect this flop to bet at least 90% of the time.
Also, I understand why...

Re: AA vs 2+2er
3-betting the flop to knock out the guy in the middle isn't a terrible idea, although I don't like doing it with red aces when 3 low spades flop. 1) you're knocking out the fish and isolating the...

I agree that you sucked out. I am basing this all on your read of 'this opponent is a solid 2+2er'. First of all, he can't have QQ or KK because no solid player would call here preflop with those...

What about a 6th street raise if she catches a blank? Then I'm a favorite again over pair with flush draw or flush draw with str8 draw.
