Re: 100 NL: big overpairs on flop facing min raises

Are you heads up? Are you in position or out of position? Is the board draw-heavy or dry? Have you seen villain play his draws aggressively? Do you raise preflop a lot, or only a little?

It might...

Re: blind steal PP 100nl

I think this is push or fold. You can't just call this - you then have a $60 pot and are likely to get forced out on a blank turn, and I'd say you don't have odds to draw to your straight (and...

Re: Is this too stubborn with TPTK? (line check)

I'm really leaning towards check/folding the turn. The J on the turn is a bad card, meaning that one of the likely hands we were beating on the flop is now ahead. We're realistically ahead of only AQ...

Re: How smart are you?

I heard that 90% of people rate themselves as "of above average intelligence".

97% of people who score less than 100 in IQ tests never admit to their result.

82% of people publishing their IQ...

Re: help with straights on paired boards

Well,,,, it depends. Did the villain raise preflop? Has a high card or a low card paired? Is he loose or tight? Was it heads up going to the flop or did lots of people see the flop and fold? Is the...

Re: Is this too stubborn with TPTK? (line check)

Hmm. Not sure. There's a good chance you're behind here, but it's tricky to see a better line that this given you're out of position. With a relatively draw free board (with the Ac on the board the...

Re: Checking TPTK... thoughts on this hand?

Yes, I like this. Very likely villain has not much, and very safe to give a free card. I'd probably even value-raise the river to $5 or $6.

Re: QQ gets check-raised

come over the top for another raise. I put him on a draw or a PP like 66,77,88,TT, or JJ or a couple of high cards. He may simply be raising you because he thinks you have 2 unpaired...

I definately think this line is losing money.

Re: Short question regarding downswings... (lc)

Hey,
I certainly beleive it is possible to be a winning player and yet be down that amount over that many hands.

Still, as everyone will tell you, it's probably partly bad luck, and partly...

At the very least, you have to bet the turn, if you aren't raisin the flop.

Re: 97o

I agree with Lucky. You don't want to build a pot here. If he checks the river to you, i think you can safely bet $5. If he leads the river, just flat call.

Re: top pair against unknown, line check, Party $400

This hand looks tough to me. Leading the turn looks like it will fold out virtually all hands that you beat.
Check/calling on the other hand could get expensive. In the actual hand you got lucky in...

Focus on the issues you're having. For example, in a recent downswing i had, it seemed that everytime I bet out on the flop with TPTK I was getting check-raised. i wasn't sure what to do - sometimes...
