Re: Tough Turn Decision
My mistake Bruce, you are correct. That does change things a little. Does it change a fold into a call? Giving the SB credit for trip 8's, how many outs do we have? 8, 4, or 0. I still think...

Re: Tough Turn Decision

Re: Tough Turn Decision
By my quick calculation, you're getting around 5:1 on your call which is about what you need to hit your str8 on the river if it's good! He could have everything here from a made boat to a...

Re: Endgame question
Sorry I wasn't more clear in my previous response. The clear default move here is to fold. You are getting neither the pot or implied odds to continue.
Any other options to continue would be...

Re: Endgame question
Not to be flippant, but 3 handed and short handed play is much more about context and flow than it is about hand value in isolation.
The expert play is to fold, call, raise or jam depending on all...

Re: 99 on button on bubble
IMO, most NLH tourney players overvalue medium pairs. I know most will disagree with me here, but I think this is a fold preflop (even though it is close).
Rational:
1) The big stack in the...

Re: different bet size practice > misread > beat
I guess I really don't understand your thinking in this example. You raise preflop and get called by a hand you dominate. You get a good flop and only call his small bet. Why? He then sucks out...
