Re: Getting rolled by the slowplayers
As leader wrote, turn texture is clutch.
Still though, seeking to develop an overarching strategy based on the opposition's silly play in a few cases where you were on the short end of it and/or...

Re: $400 - QQ hand
Why is this the case?
Is it the 3x raise oop?
OP didn't provide numbers for the opponent. He stated that he's been aggro preflop, and I guess this is his standard opener from most positions.

Checkin\' that scare card: Party 5/10
UTG stats 18.6/11.5/2.4 (large number of hands)

Re: Turn decision with a double gutshot.
You haven't provided any reads or previous action that could help us make a decision here, so all we have to go on is the action of this specific hand.
The opponent betting the turn was a limper,...

Re: Preflop quiz
On hand eight, would you care to share your notes on the players? If you do, please also tell us if they are from this session or a previous one.
