Re: 3-bet J10s against good player?
5 handed or less this is an automatic three bet for a lot of reasons. If he really is solid then all the more reason to three bet. If he is an internet ace high call down artist then I guess the...

Re: 150-300 PAYOFF
I think the payoff is almost automatic. The real question is the play on earlier streets. I play mostly short handed so that might color my feelings, but here is my two cents. If you feel that the...

Re: 80/160 GAME AT BELLAGIO
I agree with tommy that there is a very high chance that you set is no good here. He makes a very valid point that a truly excellent player is more likely to go nine bets with a huge draw than a...

He has a jack. From what I have seen lately, thats about the only hand it could be. In today's environment there is a lot of fishy play out there. He took a card off to his second pair, bluffed...

Re: JJ 20-40
Almost perfect Mike. I like it up to the seventh bet. I would have check called from there. Is this style good for an average 20/40? I know it is essential for 150/300 and up. Are you sure your...

Re: easy does it
I like it a lot. You made 4 big bets without ever taking the chance of being bluff raised. If you raise the flop you will lose L2 and would probably miss a river bet when the Queen hit and it is...

Re: you can never be too careful
I like the play a lot. The flop check was great, it kept the cutoff in and induced the Button to bet 2nd pair when he was in reaaly bad shape.
I assume you didnt want to shut thee CO off on the...

Re: 150-300 J6s sb
I'm not a huge fan of the call in the SB but you are definitely getting your price if you are sure the BB is calling. I would fold or muck depending how I was running and how strong the button plays...

Re: How Would You Play This Hand?
I think a raise of about 15k is in order, which i think might be enough to fold a pair and naked ace. If I got moved in on I would really be in the tank but would probably have to get broke with the...

Re: Hand Against Bicyclekick
This goes against my grain, especially short handed, but I would have checked the turn behind him. You have a ton of outs to a strong hand and you would hate to get three bet in this spot.

Re: Milwaukee 30/60 hand
I should have been clearer in my post and chose to write it up as straight 30/60. It was actually a 20/40 game kille to 30/60.
The 20/40 gets off at least one table a day and on the weekends...

Split reply, sorry. I think in tight agressive games at the higher limits my way of playing this hand is crucial. How are you ever going to get called when you flop a set or turn a str8 or flush if...

Fantastic. I think it was perfect. Two big bets with all the cards out and an overpair that is way good. I just bet here almost all of the time, and the other times I check call to induce a bluff....
