Re: Matt Matros article in Cardplayer about coinflips

First of all, awesome thread. If nothing else it has given us some real meat to chew on for a change. In fact, it brought me out of posting retirement (which some I'm sure will regret).

One point...

Sorry, can't wait any longer...gotta go play.

I pushed. He called and did indeed have KQs (hearts). Good call, rattler.

The unfortunate thing is that he hit runner runner hearts to bust me....

Re: KQ early, somebody flame me

Fold preflop.

The all-in reraise is tougher, but you've gotten yourself here so you might need to call this at this point and hope he's got JJ, QQ or something similar. The trouble is...the player...

Re: Overpair and OESD: What do you do?

Well, the following hands have you beat (assuming rainbow flop...you didn't say in your post)...

QJ (the only hand you're in real trouble against)
AA, KK, QQ (3-2 dog, except for qq, 3-1 dog)...

TPTK round 1

It's round 1 of a 25+2 Turbo SnG on Stars. I have $1500 and get AKo in MP. I raise to 80 (blinds are 10/20), the button (big stack after doubling up early) calls and we're heads up to the flop.

Re: Blind defense, Short Stack vs. Short Stack on the bubble

Yes, patience is a virtue, but at some point you might want to take a chance and push with any two cards, depending upon his style. If he's very loose, you're simply going to have to wait for a hand...

Re: can i fold KK pre-flop ?

Good points, Mantis...my post was simply to present a possible rationale for folding. And I do think it's a close call between calling and folding, really.

Re: can i fold KK pre-flop ?

Let me play devil's advocate here...

Against three underpairs (highly unlikely) you are about a 54% chance to win. If you are ahead in the hand, but are up against something like AKo, QQ, and JJ...

Re: Shortstacked with a marginal hand

Hi Chris,

I'm wondering how you know that checking is more positive +EV that pushing in.

Thanks for the reply.

no, not a push hand (in my book). This a hand that you can play better by raising 3x bb and seeing what they do on the flop. Especially at this buyin. Keep this in mind, someone is a...

Shortstacked with a marginal hand

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted, but I though this hand was interesting with which to jump back into the posting fray, and wanted to hear opinions.

Re: best site for sng\'s

Personally, I would avoid SnGs if you are just starting to play poker...if you've got B&M limit experience, then I'd play at PokerStars. The games aren't quite as soft as Party, but the blind...

Re: Erostratus, mine was probably worse than yours...

The odds of a particular hand after you know what your opponent has is irrelevant. Is a big stack with QQ incorrect to call your all-in button raise with 5xBB when you have KK?

Re: AJs, TPTK, he shoves

Any read? If he's a known nut, I want to take his chips, and I'd call. If not, I fold reluctantly. NLHE has been called a game of two pair or better, and you still have only one pair. He could have...

Re: Bubble Play Question - How do you play this hand?

Personally, I hate A2o as a push-in hand. The thing is, there are absolutely no hands that you dominate, and so many hands that can put you in awful shape. Any pair and any other Ax dominate you.

I think your play here is OK, with this possible exception. I don't know what your read on the big stack is, but with the big stack calling the other big stack, I've got to put him on something...

Re: Small set. Did I chicken out?

For your first question, small pairs have more value with many people in the pot, because you will be playing for trips or fold, and with many people in the pot, you are likely to have someone else...

Re: For MikeGuz old AQ thread

I'll typically limp with AQo early (occasionally fold...very rarely raise) at a full table, especially out of position. I look at it this way...feel free to flame.

If I limp for 15 chips or 20...

Re: 2 plays in 1-table SNG

Don't know...would depend on the player...I'm just saying that the pot-sized bet should be enough to make a lousy hand fold, without getting nabbed by trips. If he reraises, you have a decision to...

Re: 2 plays in 1-table SNG

No real issue with the KK hand, although you might not want to push in on the off chance he hit trips. A nice pot size bet should be enough.

On the second hand you should have smooth called one...
