Re: 5/10 IHAVEKKBETBETBET
I would have expected the field to get thinned when you bet into UTG and he raised on the flop. However, when you look at it, after UTG raises, any player afterward is getting 23:2 to call. A lot...

Re: 66 hand from the SB
I tend to call preflop here with 66, but the UTG raise from this sort of player should be respected. I'm hoping he's got AK or AQs rather than the rest of the raising hands for him - say pairs AA-TT...

Re: Bottom Pair & Nutflush Draw
I'm not sure I would have raised the flop, but I don't hate it entirely either. I could go either way. Keeping Button around is good when your flush hits, but your bottom pair is more vulnerable to...

Re: I want to fold so badly
Without a read on villain, I have a tough time throwing this away. I know you want to fold, but I think you have to stick around.
If villain holds an A, you are out-kicked by AQ or AJ, and...

Re: Semibluff Drawing Hands? 3/6 6max
I like raising in both cases, to shut out the button and set up the free card play if the turn brings a blank.
In the second hand, though you have overcards that could win as well, hitting the...

When I first read the hand history, I was confident that villain had a made flush and was trying to induce a bet out of hero on the end. I'd check behind, but I tend to miss value bets.

Re: Chasing the C/R with KQo

When SB C/Rs, I initially think he has either T7, or K with a weaker kicker. It's an odd C/R. When he caps, I think 2 pair (KT, T7, or K7). Does anyone interpret this different?
