Re: result
That's funny. I would have called him down, though, since it's pretty easy to put him on a hand like AcKc.

Re: result
I don't like the flop bet too much, since there's too many people there to make it long-term profitable. But once you're heads-up the turn and river bet are pretty much obligatory.
What would you...

Re: \"Do You Have the Jack\"
When I want them to fold and they ask if I have the jack I always say "only one way to find out". For some reason that usually gets the fold, although I'm at a loss to understand why. It doesn't...

Re: AQo online 15-30 against unknown
Eh, this kind of flop just sucks - you don't like it, but you can't just check-fold every time either. I don't like the flop bet very much, since fishy MP3 will probably tie himself in with just...

Re: AQ bb
I'm curious about the turn check-raise. It seems like MP only bets there if he can beat you, no? I mean, you did 3-bet him on the flop. Did you, uh, give him some reason to think your flop raises...

Re: Live $20/$40 - simple river decision?
Bet and fold to a raise. If he as you beat but doesn't have a big flush he'll most likely call your bet and bet if you check, so no difference.
If he's not tricky, he's probably only raising the...

Re: Passively Played Pair of Kings
I think you should either bet the turn or raise the river. The action on the turn doesn't really tell you anything - lots of people would have gone for the C/R from either position given the...

Re: Is This Collusion?
That's a tough call. I see it all the time, and I hate it, but I'm not sure it's collusion. The question (which you'll never be able to answer) is "are they raising because they're playing normally...

Re: 30-60 Stars Fold TPGK to River CR? (vomit)
I think it's the latter. I have gotten too used to the donk-like moves in the PP 15 and 30 games, I guess. I realize that my play in these spots is less-than-optimal.
Oh, it's not just me, eh? ...

I'll have to be the odd one out here. I'm most likely folding to the turn raise here, especially after EP1 calls two cold. Unless you've seen wacky play from this guy in the past you're probably...

Re: bad beat
That's nuthin'. I've got the nuts (this actually happened almost on the bubble in a $640 buy-in PP tourney):
Me: AA
Him: A2
Flop: A2J
Can't be any worse than that.

Re: This one felt strange
Odd. In my experience it's just the opposite. Usually a long pause before a bet or raise means someone's trying to buy the pot. I run into a fair number of player that do this reliably.

Re: Cheap Thrills
True. By no means does the fish have to have a pair. But he did call two bets on the flop, so it's dangerous to conclude he doesn't have anything. He has to subtract a great deal from Michael's...

Re: Cheap Thrills
Oh, so I see the plan. Muscle out the AK on the turn (you know he won't fold for one more bet on the flop, right?) when another blank hits and then lose to the fish's 69 on the river.

Re: Refutation to Abdul preflop tactics
First of all, if you're going to play on PP, why would you play a table full of tight-agressives? I can always find a table full of passives or maniacs. Why waste your time?

Re: QQ hand, PS 10-20
You would've had a much better idea of whether or not it's time to fold if you raised the flop. As it is, if you just call the flop you should probably fold the turn.
