Re: Another turn
stats suggest a fold but 40 hands ain't much. Is he one to make this raise with only 2 pair or better?

Re: Is this an easy fold?
Villain is raising twice an orbit and regularly overbetting flop. Advice here is player dependent not level dependent.

Re: Is this an easy fold?
Odds are you've the best hand. Most likely villain is very aggressive on the flop but shuts down on turn and river. And so
1. you can call flop and see what he does on turn
2. you can raise flop...

Re: KK hand
Not really--it is so player dependent and even then things ain't clear, 'cause play at 50nl tables is so variable.
At this level some always read a reraise preflop as aa, kk, qq. Others don't look...

Re: KK hand

Re: A rare drawing hand for me
Yes.
Check/raise all in oop, though in this hand you might not be deep enough to get him to fold a pair if you check raise all in if he pots the turn.

Re: Playing KQ pre-flop
And so raising it preflop gives you 2 ways to win. Of course if being fair postflop means that you will only continue with 2 pair or better with no one left to act behind u then I suggest a fold. Our...

Re: Playing KQ pre-flop
hmmm--interesting. I'd say if u are only fair postflop then you need to raise or fold this hand utg; utg-1. Limping utg in a family pot when folks are playing any 2 is tough.

Re: A rare drawing hand for me
two lines:
a. push
b. call; all in on any turn. b is a TWP line and his reasons are:
sets are calling any flop bet but may pay you off even if you hit on the turn
you don't want to fold out a...

Raising to 5xbb utg or utg +1 often buys u the button in 6 max.

Re: 3 AK preflop hands (with a quiz!)
only 1 clear to me is #3--though if they are so bad I'd seriously consider calling and playing position.
hand 1 looks fishy--2 min-raises.

Re: Playing KQ pre-flop
6 max raise it utg to button (kq beats 80% of hands). I raise utg and utg1 5x blind; otherwise 3 or 4x + 1; if called by a tighty behind you, be careful. There is no reason to limp with this hand in...

Re: TJ suited on the button
Why do you think he bet the 5? Buying it; weak value betting; looking to get reraised? It seems he liked his hand on the flop.

Re: blind battle against a lag
My main focus is on the cards and the player, sometimes one, more than the other; but my decisions are typically based on what I have vs. what he is likely to have given the type of player he is.
