Re: Hand check-up
I probably would have bet a bit more on the flop, 400 or so. Then shut down on the river. He's not going away, and I can't put him on anything but a Queen or a flush (most likely a queen).

Re: Help me off the ledge.
The problem with all that is.. you're dealing with a demonstrated lunatic. He might have folded to a larger bet, but I doubt it, because he had a King... A KING! Nothing beats a KING! (except an...

Re: expert play ? QQ
More of a question than a comment.
At the river you're getting 17 to 1. Odds are good that the BB, that ace chasing loser, just caught. But are they better than or worse than 17 to 1?

Re: More 2nd Pair Confusion
[ QUOTE ]
I don't like it. The flop is gutshottish and two toned. The KT should be right in UTGs happy zone. A bet with AT would be fine here, but he is too likely to have a hand like JT or QJ or T9...

Re: More 2nd Pair Confusion
I like the flop bet. No reason to think the BB has anything, and the button may have missed.
However, when he reraises, he's either got a King or a Ten with a better kicker than yours, maybe a...

Re: Lev 2 hand reading
You're getting 3 to 1 with 3 or possibly 4 outs. (3x 5 + possibly 1x 8.) How is that good odds, or am I missing something?

Re: Lev 2 hand reading
I'm far from a 109er, so I may be way off base, but why call the flop bet? What card can you catch on the turn that's going to keep you in?
Minraise PF, so could be a middle pair, a big hand, or...

Re: comments on tourney hand
So there's an ante.. but what are the blinds. What are the chip stacks of all involved. How much were the bets and the raises? Or was this a limit tourney?
Incomplete info.

It's harder to commit all your chips before the flop with anything but the best hands. Even if, practically speaking,...

Re: Button Response to Blind aggression
not close to bubble time. Never mind then. Let them duel it out. End result is either one less player or 1200, 700 as the stacks to your left, with you at 1700.

Well, with 15 left how many get paid? What's the biggest stack in the tourney right now?
My gut says that this is a call. Not so much because of the pot odds, or even because of a read on the...

Re: Glin\'s Big Win -- Post 2, Final Table [LONG]
I understand that you're being constructive and do appreciate it. I definitely didn't consider his pot odds at the time, and didn't do it again when reviewing the hand. So that's something to watch.

Re: Glin\'s Big Win -- Post 2, Final Table [LONG]
Your probably right that the though process is flawed, and getting all his chips would be better.
Thing is, I don't know that I could have gotten all his chips. If he called here and the river is...

Re: fold the flop or bet the turn?

I would put more concern preflop on my read of the UTG limper. He could be limping in hopes the LAG raises to pop back at him. Your smooth call of the raise may have slowed him down. ...

Re: Good or bad push?
I'd say your bet Preflop was weak. If you were going to play it, then put in 150-200. That might have gotten you down to heads up. Alot of people ignore a 2x bet early.
On the flop, you put in...
