Re: 1/2 nl live TT preflop UTG

If you only started with 150, there's no way you're getting set value (unless everyone else calls the re-raise behind you & has you covered).

Based on your read of the villian, it seems like a...

Re: QQ flops an overpair, 200 NL 6max, is this standard?

The turn card was great for you! I have no problem w/ your value-bets on the flop & turn. I don't like your river call (villain's bet smells like a blocker). I raise the river to 100 & hope to get...

Re: sidepot semantics

Against calling stations, I usually prefer to check the flop when I miss. It's far too likely he's going to stick around with whatever he has, so there's no point in spewing your chips.

However,...

Re: Misplayed river?

The 1.00 flop bet into a 14.00 pot practically screams "I've got a flush draw". IMO your best chance was to:

1) Check-raise the flop after the extremely weak betting

2) Lead strongly on the...

Re: stop berating the fish

I couldn't agree with you more. I usually try to shut them up by saying something like "This is 100NL, not the WSOP".

Another option is to re-assure the fish by telling him "nice hand" when he...

This strategy is not good for SSNL. If you only overbet the nuts it is closer to optimal. People call WAY too much.

Also, I believe "BOW" to be none other than Prahlad himself!

Doesn't Prahlad Friedman use a lot of this strategy?

Also, try posting this in MHNL. Semibluffing and table image are not exactly top priorities in SSNL.

Idea might be good but try it on that board and you're only getting called by sets and two pairs. You can offset your loss a little by including AQ but its not enough.

Re: DO NOT GO BROKE IN AN UNRAISED POT?

Actually, I believe the more accurate term is "Don't go broke in a nothing pot".

In this hand, the pot is far from nothing at the River (through no fault of your own, I might add). The BB is...

Re: KK multiway tons of action -- Too much?

If anything, I don't think you were aggressive enough during the pre-flop & flop betting rounds. Since you know that your opponents like to stick around so much, re-raise to at least 10.00 pre-flop....

Re: hand from a live game

That's a good flop for your Jacks. Based on the type of opponents you're up against, I'd push (feeling pretty confident that I had the best hand). It's possible that one of them has a set, but there...

Re: Is this semi-bluff +EV?

No offense, but the 4th st. check-raise was pretty weak.

Why do you put him on a King? Although a King is possible, so is an Ace or a Middle Pocket Pair (99-77)

I think you should be going for...

Re: 50NL Using aggro table image, pushing with bot. set into 2 callers

Re: JJ flops Over Pair Vs. LPP

Unless you really know the villain from playing lots of hands w/ him, his stack size dictates the proper play. It appears you'll need to risk an additional 15.60 to win 38.60 (30.75 already in the...
