ATo in middle position, uncertain on several streets

Another post from a 5/10 newbie. I usually raise ATo from CO, but the 3 callers were at worst semi-loose, so a raise seemed excessive. I would think in a very tight game (not here) a fold might...

KJo on the button

I've just recently moved up to 5/10, and aren't too confident in my judgment at this level. 23 hands for SB, he's played 5 voluntarily, raised twice, but hasn't show down a hand yet. I saw him...

Re: Dropping AKos preflop

I think this can be simplified a bit. To a pretty good approximation your equity is about the same as hitting the flop. It's of course not that simple, but this can't be too far off. In that case,...

Re: AJs, what the hell am I doing?

Sorry, you're absolutely correct about the odds, I forgot that hero is BB, so he is only paying 1 bet to call 3.5 (less rake).

Re: AJs, what the hell am I doing?

You pose an interesting question. I can't give a complete quantitative answer, but maybe this table will give some insight. I put together a set of possible raising hands, that add to about 4%...

Re: Simple handreading

Your possible hands make sense, although I think you meant "K7, K4, 77, 44", not "K7, K5, 77, 55". I wouldn't rule out the suited K7 or K4 from a 25%VPIP player after 2 limpers. But his flop bet is...

Re: A leak I am working on, looking for opinions

I don't claim great expertise, but I had the experience where worrying about essentially this issue left me in a 4 MONTH break-even streak, due almost entirely to excessive avoidance of folds in...

Re: Thoughts on a flop call and a river raise appreciated.

You're presumably behind on the flop, with 5 outs to improve. This normally requires about 8:1 and while with this flop you may well not win if you make your 2 pair, you have overlay, getting 10.5:1...

Re: A8s, uncertain on all streets

Thanks for the help, guys. Confirms my feeling that I was a bit wimpy. I've been getting beaten up for aggression lately, and am probably a bit gunshy.

Just want to make sure of one thing -- The...

A8s, uncertain on all streets

Early on, so only read I had was that both opponents were probably slightly loose. Game seemed fairly passive. I'm a bit unsure of my actions on all streets, I felt pretty passive myself:

TT vs 2 LAGs, Overpair

I've been playing poorly lately, and don't know whether I folded too soon or too late on this one. Comments on all postflop streets appreciated (I'm certain the preflop raise is fine). Both opps...

Aruba postmortem

Thanks for all the advice, guys. It must've helped, because I ended up ahead despite having almost no B&M experience and playing at higher stakes ($4-$8) than I'm used to.

There did seem to be an...

Re: Need emergency help adjusting to Aruba Rules!

Yeah, that sounds right, again because the implied odds improve. Unfortunately, the first night I played, the ONLY hands I got the entire evening, were speculative, including about 5 small pocket...

Need emergency help adjusting to Aruba Rules!

Aruba live 4-8 has rules where the flop bet is a full BB, instead of a small bet (actually optional, but noone bets only $4). I am hoping someone has experience with this sort of game and can give...

Re: 99 what about my flop play?

Raise preflop. Nobody is in yet, you want to limit the field to 1 or 2 opponents with modest pocket pairs. If others were already in, and you had a chance for 5-6 opponents, a call would be better....

Re: Misapplied concept? pt. 1

I make it 11.5 outs. If he has the A/images/graemlins/spade.gif you have 4 outs to win. If he has another ace (3 cases) you have 13 outs to win (9 spades incl A + 2K+2Q) and 2 outs to tie (one of...

Re: How to best protect TPTK as dealer on flop, with big pot.

You are absolutely right as far as the value bet part goes. I completely agree that checking gives up the value I can gain on a flop bet. I still believe, however, that waiting to bet the turn...

Re: How to best protect TPTK as dealer on flop, with big pot.

I don't intend to be stubborn, I can see I'm clearly outvoted, but your point about infinite odds is really a different way of saying that I'm giving up the value I expect to gain on the flop bet. I...

Re: How to best protect TPTK as dealer on flop, with big pot.

Checking is worse against certain hands (those who don't have the odds to call a flop bet). Hands like backdoors and small pocket pairs. Against these hands you're correct, I'm making a mistake by...

Re: Douche-bag

The nice thing about playing online is that when this happens you can say "ARGHHHHH @#$%!%&*(&" as loudly as you want, and only your wife, at the far end of the house, can hear you.
