Re: Double flop hold-em
Play for the scoop.
Limp as much as you can. Read Ray Zee. Raising pre-flop will increase your advantage a little bit, but will increase your variance enourmously.
Gun AA and KK.

Re: QQ - do i have to call this down?
I get something different. I think drawing to a king or queen is +ev. This analysis is very limited (going further gets a lot more complicated and I can't be bothered right now, which could account...

Before the flop, this pot is HUGE! You made it that way, and were right to do so for a couple of reasons that were already discussed.
On the flop, this pot is HUGE! and the board is scary. Two...

Re: AQo, Standard...I Think
That flop was an easy call for anyone drawing to a flush. The only way to make those people pay for their draw is on the turn--although that might not be possible after the flop cap, have to do the...

Re: Quick 44 pf question
GS says call. I don't think you want to try to isolate, because you're looking to make money on your flopped set. For 1.5 bets you're looking at a 7 (maybe 8) small bet pot, 3 or 4 handed. That...

Re: A7s BB Should I know better?
These trip hands scare me too, because I remember the times that I'm out kicked, losing to a paired kicker or a set. But I still think you're winning this hand at least 50% of the time, particularly...

You don't have six outs, but you don't have zero either. I'm thinking around 4-4.5 (1 for the 2's, 3 for the straight). I'm still check/folding.

Depending on what you mean by a tight table, I probably wouldn't play 22 in EP -- especially if raises were common. You're playing 22 to make a set, and a tight table usually won't pay...

Fishy, borderline, or ok?
PokerStars limit HE 1/2.
This table is 10 handed and pretty tight--can't remember any specific reads on the players in question just now:
Hero is dealt 22 in EP+1.

8 Folds to the SB
In a 10 handed game, if 8 players fold, do the chances that the SB has a good hand improve? If I were playing the BB in this situation, should I fear a raise more than at a short handed table?
