65 suited vs. LAG, my line
Hi All,
Playing 6 handed. LAG in MP limped, folded to me in the SB. I had 65s (clubs). I completed and the BB checked.
Flop came ragged with 962 rainbow (included 9 of clubs).
On the flop...

Re: Flop play with a big draw.
I prefer hero's line here because capping the flop is likely to lose the SB, whom has little chance of winning if you make your hand. You have the potential of picking up an extra 2.5 bb's that way...

Re: $215s - Controversial AQ Hand
Hi Curtains,
My post was not directed at anyone specifically. I use ICM, call much more than many successful players at the end of games, and aggressively play good hands early (there are more...

Re: Tell me what you think. 215.
Hi Guys,
I see this move all the time, and make it myself once in awhile. I got bad news for people that think it won't get called. If the player has moved in once or twice before I will call with...

Re: Falling in love with AA...
Hi Guys,
I sure don't think I played this well pre-flop and on the turn. On the river, I am likely to lose all my chips pretty much everytime.
I almost never slowplay, but viewed this as a...

Falling in love with AA...

This happened on a PP 215 on the 1st hand.

Re: JJ Early In a Tournament
Hi Guys,
I think going all in is too aggressive. If you were raised by one opponent I might do it (unlikely though) but the fact is you were called by one opponent that you still have to worry...

Re: Calling off your stack on the bubble
Hi All,
I think calling here is automatic. You know that the range of hands the villian is pushing with is wide. If his push range is something like this ...any pair, Ax, Kx Q10+ you will be ahead...

Re: Push TT this early?

I agree trips are a remote possibility, but not enough to prevent me from moving forward with a substantial raise on the flop. The idea would be to raise the pot enough to make it incorrect...

I think this pretty much sums it up. Only the shortstack would call with a hand as vulnerable as A10. Benno probably isn't calling without aces.

Re: new situation for me, how did I play it?
Hi Pearl,
I like the flop raise....I have to believe you are ahead at this point and might rid yourself of opponents with overcards. I would not be too pleased with everyone calling your raise....

I made a stand against a very aggressive big stack when the big stack could bust me. I could likely coast into 3rd in this situation or try to double up and go for 1st place.
