Re: Rivered flush, what should I do?
[ QUOTE ]
What the heck firm told you that? This wasn't a trading interview by any chance, was it? Does the company name start with an "S"?

Yup, got it in one.
Anyway, thanks...

Re: Fun AK hand with no pair
The fact that he chose a bet size rather than betting pot on this board doesn't mean much without a read. He could be raising that amount to extract value from a weak hand like top pair without...

Re: Fun AK hand with no pair
From my experience of UB $1 BB, it would usually be suicide to call that flop bet. EP also has two people behind him to act, so it gives his flop raise even more credit.
The check through on the...

Re: Turned a boat. What do you do?
You don't have enough information to lay this down. Call his turn bet and call his river push.
One point is that a lot of people do not have the patience/balls to double check hands like an...

Re: AKs semi-bluff...you like the line?
I like your line. There are a couple of points though, would you min reraise preflop with AA/KK and would you overbet this sort of flop so much with AA/KK? If he was paying attention during those...

Re: Crazy hand with crazy stacks...
Who puts you on a set here, you check raised pot on a totally uncoordinated board, this is much more likely to be a top pair style hand testing the waters. Why would he overbet the turn with a set...

Re: 88 in the SB getting cute
I think that the OP's line is by far the best for this situation. Here is the key point, he has pegged his opponent as someone who is stealing with crap, so he figures to have the best hand the vast...

Re: The beauty of slowplay
Bet the flop, you have all the good draw cards so you are going to have to hope that someone with a set/small flush is going to play back at you. Maybe someone with a TPTK hand or overpair will call...

Re: AQs against LAG
Its always a bad idea showing off your knowledge at the poker table, most people don't like playing with someone they perceive as being better than them.

To be making something like 15 big bets / 100 hands you would have either to be running extremely well or be exceptional compared to your competition. If you are just starting out, then aim for...

Re: Hand 1 and Hand 2
I don't understand why anyone would fold in hand 1. SB has played this so strangely that you have to call. If he was worried about a draw out, then he wouldn't have flat called the flop bet, he would...

Re: Protecting hands
Hand 1, the first thing you should put him on is top pair, probably KQ or AK unless you have a huge read on him. He could have a set, but if you always think that he has a monster, then you are...

Re: Protecting hands
Stop playing for a bit, and have a look at those hands that you got stacked on, the bad beats from the start will probably have skewed your judgement a bit for later hands, especially if this is the...

Re: AQs 100NL
Once he min raises you, push it all in on the flop. Along with the fact that you will definitely get to see 2 cards if he calls, you also get a bit of fold equity if he has a mid PP. The other...

Re: Pocket 10\'s, Party $50
I'd occasionally play a set like this (apart from the tiny flop bet), especially if I knew that it was going to be heads up on the turn.

Re: Implied odds at work
Sorry, I don't agree with this at all.
You should not raise preflop, the low PPs should be right on the bottom of your list of things to raise. You want to flop a set as cheaply as possible and...

After the all in, you have to call. You are getting about 2:1 and the range of hands that he could have is huge here. Granted, he could have a set, two pair or a straight, but he could easily have an...

Re: Implied odds at work
I'd do it if my PP was higher than the board pair. Too much chance of making a second best hand otherwise.
