Re: 5 Card Draw Maniac

As for not seeing many draw maniacs online, I have no idea what you are talking about, they are everywhere.

No doubt. My favorite was the player from whom I took $80...

Re: 5CD - Standing pat

Honestly, that kind of erratic play is no different than that of a maniac, only in reverse.

If he's going to be standing pat every time, you can't be afraid to bet into him or call with hands...

Re: Check/Call or Bet/Fold River?

If the button is the kind of player who will raise any 2 here, you have to make it three bets or fold. Calling simply isn't an option.

As for the river, I prefer check/calling, because you might...

Re: AA

AK wouldn't limp before the flop, which is what UTG did.

UTG is the aggressor in this hand, not the pre-flop raiser. They're two different people.

Villian here doesn't have AK. Take that to the...

Re: AA

The only hands UTG could limp with that warrant this much action are KJ and 55, and I'm not about to put him on quads on the turn.

Yes, he could have K5 or J5, leaving you to two outs. More...

Re: Could I have taken this whole pot?

Only the weakest of weak-tight would fold top pair, solid kicker heads up for one bet, or to a raise or reraise.

You're going to get a chop here about 99 percent of the time and there's nothing...

Re: tough hand

I'm suspecting either 66 or KQ here, and possibly both. Only JT has a strong draw, which, if he hits, could give you a second-best hand that will prove costly. But this is being jammed to hard for it...

You'll get a kick out of this one.

Turn C/R turns up ... AA

Maniac shows JJ.

I felt so suckered by this. I had convinced myself that the maniac had a 9. I fully expected the turn C/R'er to...

I\'m so lost at the river here multiway with AA

Didn't save the hand. My apologies.

I'm on the button with AA. Two seats to my right is a maniac, who has gotten clobbered by the deck after PF raising Q4o and 57o.

Several limpers, prolly 5 to...

Re: Flopped straight

Preflop: Easy complete

Flop: I'd bet more here. You're not even betting the size of the pot, and this is a pretty draw-heavy board. There are a multitude of cards I don't want to see on the turn...

$10 rebuy/AO: AQo UTG

Sitting nice with about 14,000 at 150/300/50.

I limp, four call to a flop of AQT, three-suited.

I bet out 1200 and get one caller in UTG+1. He started the hand with about 22,000.

Turn is a...

Re: Advice on AQ

You forgot his backdoor straight opportunties.

All aside, he's getting 19-1 when the action's up to him on the flop. Let's add another .5 outs for the straight possibilities. He's got 5 outs,...

Re: KTo in small blind

Even from the button or CO, this is an easy call.

You've got decent high card and straight value. You'll flop top pair or a big draw far more often than 1 in 11 times, and in the case of the...

Re: Betting with the second nuts.

First, why are you going for a check-raise heads up on the river? Don't you want to be raised (OK, bad question given the results, but you get my point)? You can't make it three bets if you don't...

Or at least be playing at a table when one's handed out.

Re: Bet the turn here?

Limping here in a multiway field is fine. But with a poster and zero limpers, you have to raise this from the SB, even if you are out of position for the rest of the hand.

Bet the turn. You'll get...

Calling a raise with K2o

I'm in the cutoff and posting for my first hand in a 3/6 game at Paradise.

Six limpers to me, I check and the button raises. SB folds, everyone else calls.

There's $51 in the pot and I'm...

Re: moving to 5/10

This winning 3/6 player would love to hear any and all comments from players making the jump to 5/10 from 3/6.

Frankly, it appears terrifying to me. Paradise doesn't have a 4/8 game, so to go from...

Re: KK hand totally misplayed.

At first, I was going to say you played it perfectly.

But Villian raised the flop. He's much more likely to have a T than 33 or 44 (the turn all but ensures he doesn't have 44). Your smooth call...

Re: A problem I have with flush draws. PP 2/4 Hand

Mixing it up is the way to go, especially when you're out of position because if you don't improve on the turn after CR'ing the flop, you can't do anything but check. That screams draw.

There are...

Re: playing AQo too weak? (PP 10$ SnG NL)

Re: Med PP to a turn overcard

Call, call, fold is very wrong, as you said. You have to raise this flop, not only because you probably have the best hand, but so you avoid tricky decisions such as the one you face when scary cards...
