Re: Would you slow play this?
I disagree droolie. If he called the turn raise, chances are he's gonna call a bet on the river (assuming he wasn't on hearts). So I don't think he would lose a bet on the river, although I do prefer...

Re: Folding AK preflop 25NL
PP players are notorious for their weak raising standards. I know you're looking at a big early position raise and an early position call already, but shouldn't you be reraising with AKo? I'm not...

Re: Bad Call or bad Read?
After going over it again in my head I think I'm inclined to agree with you. The purpose of the limp reraise is to make a huge reraise to get more money in. And Brunsen does say to come way over the...

Re: 88 ep HU
He's probably got tens-up right? In any case you're probably beat, or am I totally incorrect here? I do like your aggresive play though. Maybe you didn't pick the right spot this time.

Re: Good fold or weak tight?
I think you should have open-raised with your 99. That way if the button reraises you know where you stand. I don't think you can limp-reraise with 99, they're just not strong enough and you're out...

Re: What\'s the play
What about a semi-bluff all-in on the flop by the Hero? you might be able to take it down right there. If the pf raiser only has a big pair or even overcards he might be unwilling to call, right? I...

Re: Bad Call or bad Read?
Jcm, isn't is correct to slowplay AA and KK UTG while playing no-limit? I'm pretty sure I've read that in several books, or at least in THEFAP (Sklansky and Malmuth) and Super System (Brunsen). And I...

Re: Bad Call or bad Read?
Thanks for the brutal commentary BobboFitos. It was extremely refreshing.
I guess I should have been more specific in my initial post. Preflop: UTG (Hero? seems more like retard now)limps, MP1...

Re: What to do with QQ facing big reraise
I would tend to agree with Jon here. A massive reraise seems to scream JJ or AK. A lot of players are too concerned with maximizing their profits on AA and KK and would want to keep the initial...

Re: Bad Call or bad Read?
The pot was $7 after he called the reraise. He had to put $2 into a approx. $5 pot. So I don't think I made a mistake pf. I could have raised more pf but I thought I'd keep him on a leash. The only...

Re: Bad Call or bad Read?
I had about $16 in front of me and he had about $25 or so. I called because I thought I might have the right odds- calling approx $7 for a $22 pot. I also called because of my initial read. I know...

Re: Weak Tight...or just plain stupid?
I tend to play these kind of flops very aggresively, perhaps too much so. I would have made a big bet on the turn. Firstly, he might be on a flush draw or flush/straight draw (with ATs). So when the...

Ok, I hate when this happens, but it seems to happen all the time.
We're playing $10 no-limit (blinds are 10c/20c). Hero limps UTG with KK. BB raises $1, Hero reraises $2. Folded around to BB, who...
