Re: tricky player? evaluating outs

Ok, I know this is low stakes, but I dont think that you should be reckless in your betting.

Your flop bet was bold, but your flop 3-bet looked almost like a maniac to me.

I can understand...

Re: New poster - QJo feedback wanted.

Hello OMG and welcome to the forums. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think that you played your hand pretty well.

You called with a marginal hand in a multiway pot, which is ok. And you...

Re: Flush draws.. when? why?

Hello Mandel and welcome to the forums. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You will make your flush draw by the river on average about 1 out of 3 times.

So you should usually do whatever is...

Re: SSH Starting Hands Chart -- Limping in with A2s in EP

You made a nice post Rusty.

I am not sure that anything you suggested needs to be corrected.

In fact I think there has been a lot of good advice in this thread.

Re: advice needed for a player moving from .50/1 to 1/2 and struggling

You seem to have a very good idea about what you are doing yourself.

Reviewing hand histories, reading and studying poker books and posting here is obviously going to be helpful to your play.

Re: Super System 1/2 or both

I think it depends how much you enjoy reading poker books and whether you wish to part with $30.

I have just finished reading SS1 and enjoyed it, because I know that the book is a classic and was...

Re: Great flop, did I puss out?

Did you have any kind of read on your opponent ?

Against a straight forward opponent, the turn raise looks like either a made flush or 2 pair. Although your opponent could also have been raising...

Re: 87s

Firstly, I think that final pot size is wrong. By my count the pot had 27.5BB when you were faced with having to call 2 more bets for the turn cap.

It looks to me as though both UTG+1 and MP1 had...

Re: The Flop Misses.....Now what????

Hi Jim.

SSHE has a section on playing overcards, which explains things which you should consider very well. Also, I hope that you have the 3rd edition of LLHE, as it is very good and apparently...

Re: Overpair, but raised on flop en turn: fold?

I like the way you played this hand.

If you lost to a set, so be it. That happens sometimes, but I think that you were correct to go to showdown.

The problem I have with taking a free card on the turn is that "if I am ahead" I am giving a free card to someone that might have folded to the bet. I'm not comfortable with that.

Re: Pocket TT

Hi Mojo.

I like your general reasoning. When MP1 bet into you on that flop, I would also have raised. Thats because the flop is coordinated and your opponents could have been on either a straight...

Re: Two AA at ($1-$2)

Hello and welcome to the forums. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hand 1 looks pretty straight forward.

In Hand 2, it looks strange when UTG bets the turn after you had 3-bet preflop and raised...

Re: Badly confused

I think that leading the flop would have been ok.

However, I agree with you that I would have preferred to perhaps do something else.

Why not raise when the player in late position bet the...

Re: Burnt Out

You must be a reasonably good player if you have made some money from playing.

I would try not to worry about bad beats, because you should know that you are always going to get some.

Re: Some older hands (long)

Thats a lot of hands ! I think a few of them might have generated a reasonable thread on their own.

Re: Know when to holdem, know whento foldem

Fold for all of the reasons already given so far.

With 2 players betting and calling on that flop and a 3rd player raising, you are almost certainly behind to at least a pair of T's.

Re: Tired of Getting Pushed Around

Well assume that we would always raise an overpair on the turn. After the raise he would be getting ~8:2 to calldown, so it makes sense that we have nothing 20% of the time and an overpair...

Re: I must have missed it. What does the acronym MUBS mean?

It refers to when players fold too many hands or play too cautiously, because they always fear that someone else will have a better hand.
