Explaining the rules on TV
When do you think poker will reach the point where they don't explain the betting structure and rules of NLHE every episode of every show? I can't remember the last time I turned into Sunday Night...

Re: Playing a profitable Image
I think your line is fine.
Opponents that think you're betting with some garbage will often fire the river as an attempt to value bet a marginal hand if they think you're not going to continue...

Re: Me the suckout king
Preflop raise is fine.
Flop bet is fine.
Turn bet is fine if that's your style and know the opponent. A check is fine too.
I personally like raising a nice amount here. I don't think...

Re: folde AA on flop to (i find out later) a LAG
Well, first things first. I'm confused about the hand history. It says UTG, MP, Button call $2, and you raise to $4, then everyone calls $3. I'm confused as to how everyone is calling $3 here and...

I personally disagree with the mentality that a lot of people use which is to never open limp in any game from MP or LP. Especially in NL games with deep stacks relative to the blinds I like to see...

In college my roommate and I would pick a matchup in NCAA Football 2004 and let the computer play the game out (yes, you can actually watch). We'd come up with a line and o/u and sit and watch the...

What you didn't really mention though is how likely it is you're going to be able to get some extra money in a sidepot with MP. You're investing an extra $20 to possibly win $165 and I would guess...

Re: Preflop allin decision?
I would muck. There likely aren't many hands you're ahead of here, and there are still too many players to act behind you that could wake up with a nice hand. You're sitting in a good position in...

Nobody said you're stupid. People are answering your question saying they would call, because calling here is absolutely the correct play.

Re: Hypothetical situation
I would call every time here. You're a 2-1 (or very close to it) favorite and that's just too big to pass up, even this early. (Note that I might not call if I didn't know what my opponent had)

Re: AK with King on flop
Ah yes, misread. Sorry about that. I read the turn as a 2, not an 8... so I actually meant K8... which makes 2 pair on the turn slightly more likely with a K8/87/T8. I still, however, don't like...

Re: AK with King on flop
I like the flop bet; I think its the right size.
On the turn it appears the pot is more like 63. A bet of 15 here can mean a ton of different things. . . depending on how tricky the player is. I...

Re: 5/10 Party....Folding 10, 10 Preflop
I agree, calling here with JJ and lower here is a bad play, especially given the description of the other 2 players. Even queens in this spot need to proceed with caution.
