Re: NL and Limit profit

I play $200 NL now and there are plenty of bad players at that level - but as others said "bad" is relative. I always look for some...

Re: Could This Be Avoided?
Fold Preflop.
Post flop is OK. If you had hit your flush you would have tripled your money.
Dan Harrington's new book covers the topic of what to call a raise with pre-flop.

Re: NL and Limit profit
I can't stand limit hold em either. I used to play 7 Card stud, and when no limit got popular I switched to NL hold em. Only being able to double the blind before the flop and only being able to bet...

Re: AA v. Minraise on Lowish Flop
On the question of whether to go all in, I agree with Trail of Tears that other lines may be preferable.
When villian raises on the flop to $70, there is now about $140 in the pot and hero has about...

Re: What is the ideal game for me?
Since you are doing better at No Limit, I'd suggest staying with that.
Personally I can't stand Limit Hold Em. I had very little interest in the game before NL became popular and instead played 7...

Re: This Is An Easy Fold, Right?

Re: This Is An Easy Fold, Right?
I think the pre flop call is fine.
After the flop I would call. One of the other players may have a flush draw also, which is great for you if the flush hits. If at least one of the other players...

Re: Did I play this right?
I agree with Doomslice.
The preflop action is OK, you are only up against two opponents and you have a hand that is hard for your opponents to read. A lot of times preflop action can make it obvious...

Re: A Set of Threes - Monotone Board
Yes you should raise here on the turn.
BB bet is weak, maybe a flush draw.
As for the caller behind you he called a preflop raise and your flop bet. He could have 1 diamond - If he called with a...

I usually don't like to commit my whole stack with an overpair, but with Aces I am willing to make an exception sometimes. I would have considered going all in here.
