Re: AK no pair against aggression
I know none of you math people are going to like this, but I actually either fold the re-raise on the flop or call the turn. The reasoning being that the BB isn't going to play at you with less than...

Re: My one interesting hand from last night
I agree, I think a fold is in order. Both of your opponents are showing a ton on strength, so unless there is collusion and your reads are completely off, you are probably drawing dead unless they...

Re: Did i make a mistake here? Orleans Open NL
I think you are thinking too much about the results and not what led up to your decision to push. My first question, why push? Betting a large amount over the top is enough to put the villain to a...

Re: MTT (Card Dead)
I didn't do the math there, but from the feel of the situation it seems like maybe you have been calling or min raising too often and it has wittled down your stack. Certainly at this point of the...

Re: AA on the BB
You would only have 90,000 in Chips even if you won. You'd be short stacked again by day 2.

Re: Hand # 3
I think push. If the BB is tight then he/she will fold all but the best hands, which is just bad luck for you. The limp in by villain either means he really wants to play this for cheap or he is...

Re: $109s - Best Line Here With Nut Flush Draw
With your chip stack dwindling, I think you need to check here unless you are willing to risk all your chips on a flush draw. You're behind anyone with a queen right now and even farther behind AQ. ...

Re: TPGK 1st hand
Why didn't you raise pre-flop? That way you define your hand better post-flop. Plus (hopefully) it gets rid of two random spades that were playing loose. You basically gave up on the hand on 4th...

Re: ICM says call, do i take every +$EV
I disagree, I think this is a fold. When People get desperate they are usually looking to go in with Any Ace. You have A5, meaning that there are only 3 cards below you with an Ace. That makes me...

Re: Betting/Checking in the dark
I would never bet in the dark unless I thought my image was too tight.
Occasionally I check in the dark before the flop comes down if I am playing against aggressive players. They almost always...

Re: Raising the Blinds: Preflop Bluff
I don't think 74o is worth another cent. I'm no math wiz, but I'm guessing the odds of flopping two sevens or better is -EV (anyone want to do the math). What else are you looking for, 568? Not to...

Just call the flop. The other players will put you on a draw and bet out at you. Unless something really scary comes out...

Re: Home Game Two Pair
If I was to think about it as an all in situation, I would say it was a good fold. You know at least one of these people are holding something. Maybe one of them flopped a set. True, you could...

Re: Playing bottom two...
I think the lesson you have to take out of this is that if you are going to play those suited connectors, when you don't hit a monster on the flop, you're going to have a lot of thinking to do.

Re: Just go all in preflop?
I think the pre-flop call is good. You've put enough money in the pot that weak hands are going to get out and if an Ace comes on the flop you can get away from the hand if you think the villain has...

Re: Just go all in preflop?
I'd say no to the all in. The only hand you are going to get called with is AA or a lower set(or if they put you on a bluff). Put out a bet that seems a little weak and let the vilian raise you all...

Re: Top Set against Reraise
I think the push was still the best plan. It's a loose call by the vilian and a great flop for you. Regardless of what the vilian has, you still have decent outs with 2 cards to come. Take the...

Re: Monster Hand, Fishy Game
I think I'm going to have to agree with the call here. Villian may be playing a 67 suited, just not the suits on the board. The preflop money makes taking a chance with it worthwhile. If I had the...
