Re: JTs--play along
I too thought about raising here for a free card. The UTG scares easily (right?) and the loose MP1 caller hasn't shown any strength. Of course, suffering a check-raise from the blinds would suck.

Re: A10s Button play??
I was looking to kick out A-10, A-J, A-Q, A-8, and A-4 in case we pair our Ace on the river. Though perhaps any big Aces would've raised PF (and therefore don't exist in this hand), and A-8/4...

Raise, you have a huge equity edge against 5 players in position with ATs.
You should also raise that flop, and take a freecard on the turn unless an ace or club falls. If utg 3 bets...

I agree checking the flop is better than betting. You just don't have enough juice here. Also, I didn't see it mentioned above that anybody w/a 10 or 4 has redraws should you get lucky w/your...

Re: A5s -- Confused by HUD stats
I think those 54 hands are enough to declare him very tight. In more than 5 orbits, he put money in preflop only twice, correct? It would take an extreme run of trash to produce that 3.7 stat with...

Re: Blind Steal Gone Awry
Krimson, the OP corrected himself in a follow-up post and said it was actually 7-handed at a 10-seat table. Does that alter your opinion of a PF cap?

Re: Blind Steal Gone Awry
Seeing those 20/9.8 aggro numbers, I would consider capping this preflop (I'd look at his steal stats, too). If he still bet out the flop, I'd probably peel one, and I'd have to raise the turn when I...

Re: Yes, no or maybe so?
I'd probably check-through, though that may be the wimpy/gun-shy move.
The SB check-raised twice, so she's not on the flush. The BB very well could have the flush, BUT he's a retard, which pushes...

Hand 1: Yes. You probably have the best hand, the small pot should discourage most draws, and if you're behind you should have 5 clean outs.
Hand 2: Probably. You're probably not ahead here, but...

Re: Defending a donk - your stories
It can be tough finding a way to muzzle a guy without alerting the fishies to your motivation. But I usually try something similarly sarcastic, such as "are you a pro?", "thanks for the lessons," etc.

Dude, that wasn't a check-raise, just a regular old raise. Should he therefore make the call getting 12-1?

one 2/4 hand, multiple questions

Re: Confused with QQ
I'm more concerned with the preflop capper (UTG) than the CO. UTG limped/capped, which suggests either 1) he's a wild man who said, "screw it, let's build a big pot" when it came back to him, or 2)...

Re: Isolation raise attempt gets heated
This is probably also a little light for me to isolate in MP2.
On the turn, I think you're ahead often enough here to 3-bet. These hands are ahead of you: 2-2, Q-Q, T-T, 8-8, J-9. Given the...
