Re: Defending with TJs
Hi everybody,
I am shocked to see that checkraising the flop is such an overwhelming decision and how quickly people are to dismiss the OP's flop bet line. Checkraising is certainly a viable...

Re: Preflop bluff turns into money by the river
Hi ZootMurph,
3-betting loose-aggros with 7 high is not the right way to go. You will have plenty of chances to 3-bet him, why choose now? The main key to playing versus LAGs is, contrary to...

Re: 77 with position against a TAG.
Hi Jim,
I personally like to 3-bet here preflop. Even with a loose button, small blind, and big blind, it would take a REALLY loose combination of players to call three bets cold. Isolation and...

Re: T9s, a hand v Hobbs.
Hi Brett,
You played the flop and turn perfectly. To continue your mastery of the three streets, bet the river again.

Hi guys,
Here is a hand I played this afternoon.
It is an online 10/20 game, a half decent table with a couple of good players and a couple of bad players.
My reads on the villian is that he...

Re: Like this?
Hi Q-Tip,
Betting this turn is very good poker, mainly because the size of the pot will get you to fold a lot of hands that want to call but really shouldn't.
When it's been checked two streets...

Re: A6o TPTK vs tag oop

Check folding this flop is probably not correct because there are too many hands that you are drawing live against to fold. The main issue in reading this player is if he would cap...

You are much better off just betting this flop yourself if you felt like playing it then checkraising and having to desperately stab at this pot out of position.

Re: 3betting with 77

Hi Akimka,
You played the hand okay. It wouldn't be wrong by much if you never folded top pair in a heads up pot. Villian could have several hands here which you beat or chop with.

Re: fold/call preflop?
Hi bjar,
I would call here. You're likely looking at a pot here 7 or 8 ways for 15 bets with some nice implied odds if you flop something nice.
