Re: Getting 4 bet on the river!!!
Where I come from, 4 bets on the river is a very unusual event. That said, there are only 2 hands that beat you - KJ and K9.
Against most players I would call. It is more likely that they have...

I folded. I figured that at best I was going for half the pot. So including having to call the river, I was at best getting 2:1 on my call. This didn't seem worth it considering I may already have...

What to do with straight on the turn?
Good 15-30. I have Ks10s UTG and call. MP, CO and B call. SB completes.
Flop is KcQdJc. Blinds check, I bet, MP folds, all call to BB who folds.
Turn is Ac. I bet my straight, CO and Button...

Re: Sklansky 30-60 hand
I would call:
- A solid winning player and a cold caller are going to be hard to play against after the flop. There is a chance that I am already behind, and given that most flops will have...

Re: Folding J9s on the button w/ four-flush
Given your assumption about going to 5 bets, your flop decision is whether to put 3 bets up against a pot that will have 23 bets in it. So you're getting say 6:1.
Assume your odds of hitting the...

Re: Four Choices
I check with the intention of raising.
Given the description of the opponent as being slightly weak tight, his most likely holding is a K. Assuming he bets, I am going to call anyway, and I can...

Re: Suggestions to fold on the River
Some of the responses have suggested that you could fold to the river bet. Getting 20:1, there is no way I fold against a typical opponent. I think there are more than 1 in 20 ways that the button...

Should I have listened to my Spider Sense
15-30
I have 9c10c in the small blind. There are two callers, then the button raises. The button is quite aggressive and reasonably good.
I call - there are already 3 in, and this big blind...

Re: River play no. 1
In thinking how I'd play this, I have to wonder if I'm a Wuss!
On the turn, I have a hard time imagining that he isn't ahead with a hand that he will want to showdown. So I don't see any value to...

Re: River hand no. 2
Close decision - therefore player dependent as you say.
Against most players at 15-30 here in Calgary, my default would be to check, because if they called the turn with a pair, they're going to...

Re: River play No. 3
I check and call.
I see no hope of getting a better hand to fold - e.g. a middle pair. If he called the turn with it, he's calling the river.
There are not too many hands I would expect to...

Re: A simple question
First a disclaimer: The highest I've paid is 15-30 (Canadian!).
The best play is to fold. Although the game conditions you describe do increase the possibility of picking up the blinds, I think...

Are These BAAAD Preflop Raises?
Here are two preflop raises I made in a 'normal' 15-30 game. I was chatting with a player whose play I respect and he thought both these raises were bad - not even marginal! What do you think?

Re: Results
Let's say he figures you for a K (or less) after you checkraise and you call his 3 bet. He may have reason to believe you will fold on the turn to his bet.
So from his perspective, he is giving a...

Re: $100-$200 Hand
Check and call.
As you say, there is a possibility that the flop 3 bet was for a free card, and that is given more credence by the check behind on the turn.
However, with you checking twice,...

Re: Preflop Play
MBE - I agree with your play of reraising, unless you know the raiser would not adjust his play for a straddle. With the straddle in there, the raiser could (should?) be raising with a wide variety...

As a few others have noted (but not the majority), I would have raised the flop.
As you note, there is a very good chance that the BB has nothing. I would also figure there is a good chance my...
