Re: (13th) nut flush draw hand
I think you should consider check raising the flop after it comes back to you with the opportunity to get it heads up, at least if you think there's some chance UTG can fold something like 99/KQ or a...

Re: 60-120 hand Th3h
If you had read the same hand I did, you would have noted he had only 3 opponents on the turn, as well as a flush draw and a gutshot, in addition to his top pair.

Re: results/comments
Heh, I feel tempted me to fly out there right now. Does it appear the 60 will become a regular game at the Commerce?

Re: 60-120 hand Th3h
I love the turn raise, but I might have a hard time not betting the river after the SB folds to your turn raise. He was the main threat to have you beaten on the turn, so after he folds you are only...

Re: Coilean and Dcifrths talk theory...
Here was my answer. Assume a typical party win rate around 2.5BB/100 hands, and an average around +3BB per pocket aces. With odds of getting aces at 1:220, you should lose 3BB/221hands*100hands =...

Also, look at the hands that might 3-bet you on the turn. [...] if the BB is a very good player, his hands he is 3-betting you with might also be quite large. By that I mean hands like...

I played a hand similar to this a few days ago, and I played it the same as you or Gabe, except the turn bettor had top set and 3-bet me, but paid off my river raise when I hit the gutshot...

Re: folding top set
Brutal one. I would probably call and expect to lose quite often, but I'm not laying down a set getting nearly 10:1 on the river in an 18BB pot against a couple of unknown Partiers. It would make me...

Re: Facing yet another turn checkraise
Yeah, the turn bet does open the door for way too much posturing, as evidenced from my reply. I don't know that the bet is much better than marginal, but I think it's a far cry from "awful". But...

Alright, I'll play the devil's advocate here /images/graemlins/wink.gif.
It seems highly unlikely that this guy was sitting on much of a hand on the flop, and then tries to go for a check raise...

Re: 40-80 hand, too weak?
This is L.A., so its' very unlikely anyone has a K or a bigger pocket pair than yours (given the lack of flop and preflop (re)raise), and a lot of guys in the BB with a J here would raise the flop to...

Re: 40-80 hand
If giving up for 1 bet on the river isn't really an option then the real question seems to be how often the remaining players will check behind with a hand that beats yours. I can't see you getting...

Re: 80-160 AQ suited
I can only dream of flopping enough monsters to make covering for them a good reason to bet the flop here. Or to find opponents in an 80 game who 3-bet me preflop and then fold before the showdown...

After I raise the turn in those situations, that's pretty much the last money I plan on putting in the pot. If they call the turn, I figure chances are something more than 90% that they will call the...
