Re: When do you Decide.....
I think you should pick a time limit - 6 hours, or 8 hrs at the most. Very few people play their "A" game after sitting at the table for 8 hours.
You may decide to leave before the time limit (if...

Re: Gambling with the jank
I don't think you are taking into account the type of player that you are playing against. Obviously, in a normal situation, Ace anything is better than 9 high. However, if I'm up against some...

Re: Gambling with the jank
My ending thoughts are this: I don't care if this person has been playing two random cards all night. If I'm going to protect a $4 blind with an additional $12, I want to have something that, in my...

Re: Gambling with the jank
Anyone can fall into a hand at any time. If this was the regular game (not a kill) and you only had to put $4 more into the pot, then maybe you'd call but why put yourself out another $12 when you...

Re: River bet?
"You will lose a lot to a bigger pair or small ace but who cares."
This is Ray Zee's statement. I guess I don't understand "You will lose a lot". I assumed that a lot meant more than half the...

Re: River bet?
I check behind. IF you had a larger pair like Qs or Ks then you could bet but what hands would this individual call the flop with? I think betting here is a negative expectation play.
Also, I...

Re: Gambling with the jank
the fact that the killer has raised from here every time does not change the fact that you have a crap hand. Fold here, give up the four bucks, and wait for a solid hand to take him out.

Re: Can I muck on the river?
Unless you have a real good read on this person I think you have to call. He could have pushed a hand like 10s, or he could have AK and caught up o the river. With this many bets in the pot I think...

Re: Did I cost myself money?
no doubt you cost yourself $. This seems like a perfect spot to checkraise the flop. You know the person immediately after you is going to bet. A whole bunch of people will call his bet, and after...

Re: River hand no. 2
he's probably not on a heart draw, since you had the top two. I'd say he has a piece of that flop (probably a 7) and you are unlikely to get him off of the hand at this point. Again, very player...

strangely enough I think you bet "for value" here. What can he have that he's been calling along with? I guess he could have a middle pair but it seems more likely that he had either a flush draw...

I don't think this hand has a positive expectation. Why not wait until you find a hand that could at least be the nuts, like a suited ace or a small pocket pair? If I'm going speculating, I want to...
