We'd like to get to showdown as cheaply and safely as possible in this hand, not pump the pot.

Re: I\'m back - 88 in the BB
I think raising the flop is in definite order. While I normally would cap preflop, given the button you described, I think calling is okay.
The fact that the button cold calls lightly should make...

Re: Isolation
The only reason I could see behind raising is if you put him on a semi-made hand and you're hoping to get called down (where you can value bet the river). Raising the turn for a free showdown here is...

Re: TPMK against the unknown....
my default is to check-raise the flop and lead the turn, as you'll likely be called down by a lot of weaker hands. showing strength at any later points really gives a weaker hand a chance to get away...

Re: tricky (?) villain HU
given his aggressiveness, I prefer the passive line of calling down after the flop checkraise. he'll likely bet both the turn and the river regardless of what he has, and this is as much as you can...

Re: Probly standard but just checking
I assume BB folded. I think folding is out of the question. You beat a lot of hands given the action so far (A8, 99, 1010, and any overcards). given the player you described, I would just call down....

Re: Uh, OK
it all depends on how strong your read is. but I'm almost always calling here. if villain had check-raised the turn, would you have called down? if so, then I think you have to call the river (as...

Re: 3-betting flop for ???
I much rather bet the turn and then check-behind on the river unimproved here, since you don't want to give any free cards to an opponent who would have folded to your turn bet. I think that line is...

Re: PFR 3 bet, flop check
I think all is fine, except I'd call the river. If the BB had a strong hand, then he definitely got a lot fewer bets than he should have had he lead out on the flop. By calling, either we win the...

Re: Teach me how to play MTTs
Without a read, I'd fold. Your lead out in a 4-way flop is strong, and with this bare board and your stack size, his raise represents incredible strength.
Mainly, I don't fancy the idea of...

Villain showed K2 no clubs, and from this, suspect he would have done this with complete trash. Villain isn't a bad player, and I would guess he's a small winner in the game. I think the fact that...

first off, you should be sitting down with enough to play a hand capped on every street.
the turn action is confusing...is MP3 the villain? I'm assuming he is, and on the turn you checked and he...

30/60 button steal - good spot to mix it up?
Read on villain is an okay, aggressive player who's probably not very tricky postflop and doesn't see me as tricky at all.
This is one of those rare spots where I'm occasionally checking behind,...

Re: Valuebetting A-high?
I do like a river bet here for value. A10 or less I would check-behind (although I think this can be read-dependent). Given your description, it's extremely likely that villain doesn't have a pair. I...

Re: check/call check/call lead
A LAG is definitely not checking behind on the turn with Axs, heck, even I'm not checking behind on the turn with it. the only debate, in my opinion, is whether you gain more by letting the LAG...

Re: PP 15/30 river action?
I don't think you have any value here whatsoever. A cold-calling MP that double donks isn't check-calling the river with A high (hoping to induce some sort of bluff from who knows what). If MP2 was...

Re: Last one....induce a bluff?
I think c/c, c/c, bet is a fine line against the right type of player. I'm a fan of the passive line here if villain is decent-aggressive, as you'll get a lot of "continuation turn bets", putting you...
