Re: \"Bubble\" hand - $540 daily Bellagio
A couple comments. 1) If I was planning on folding to a reraise, I think that $8k was a better bet. It accomplishes the same thing for a smaller amount. 2) The opponent almost always has to have a...

Re: \"Bubble\" hand - $540 daily Bellagio
Remember there is about $1500 in blind money making the pot a little over $5k. I'm not sure that a flat call here is great since you're going to have the blinds getting the right price to call with...

Re: 40-80 hand #1
FWIW - the SB is a 54% fav on the flop. Add in the fact that he's getting a bet on the end when he makes it and doesn't have to pay off when he misses, I think waiting until the turn is a "blank" is...

Re: Results
Games like that require total commitment, and the fact you left $1k or so of equity on the table proves that you've got way too much money anyhow.
I know it is easy to blame the other players for...

Re: Results
That really is the metagame consideration that everyone needs to understand when thinking about this hand. We had three solid players in a game with one total fish. The three of us were a lot less...

OK -
Then I mean a "strong solid player" would do this every three years. A "total maniac knob" like Clark can't help himself but to find different creative ways to dust off his chips each and...

Re: Results
Here's why this hand is funny/interesting. I had been raising many, many hands (as evidenced by the K9s here). It is also very important to note that Clarky and I have played quite a few hours...

Re: Checking The Turn
And I check behind you getting a free draw to my ace of spades . . .
I really like making a bet here on the turn since letting your opponent have a free draw to a spade or to AQ or AJ or a set...

Aces in the big blind
Playing 5 handed, $20-40 no limit. Button open limps, small blind makes it $100 more to go, hero looks down at AA in the big blind and makes it a total of $360. Small blind calls. Both players...

Re: ADVICE SEEKED!
Bet the turn here, and IMO it is not even close. You are leaving all sorts of bets on the table when it looks like you're ahead (ie - they all checked!). You are getting at a couple of big bets...

Re: Saving money with KK
3 betting the flop will cause no one to fold and make the drawing odds better for another gutshot call on the turn. The best place to raise is the turn, because they are all going to see that card...

Re: central Virginia games
1) Allow only one or two "newbies" per session. They will get acclimated to the game, and the game will grow slowly but surely.
