Re: was this a bad play?

I missed the memo where calling a 7:1 shot drawing to six effective outs (needting 6.7:1) is a horrible play.

Re: checkup: MP3K, multiple opponents
I fire again on the river because at the lower limits you will get called here with all kinds of crap... a worse T, any 7, 4, or 3, any PP, A-high, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, etc.. Of course, they are also...

Dogs of the APS -- time to make a move?
BB here is a regular TAG (and suspected 2+2er), who typically plays straight ABC poker.
CO and Button are ideal players to play against -- looose and really passive.
Looking back, this may be a...

Fold to that river bet?
Over the last few thousand hands I have had a fold to river bet rate over 80%. Ugh. While a lot of that is due to just running bad (getting checkraised on the turn by a passive player when you hold a...

Re: My G is too futuristic for that son
This seems like an easy value bet. If they had a K (and probably a Q), they would have let you known by now -- and I would be calling a river raise because of that.
Maybe they're just giving you...

Re: a not unusual situation.
By default, random bets from clowns out out of the blinds tend to get respected (maybe that is a bit much). That and I am not thrilled to see the Button call like that, even if he is calling for the...

Re: When do I make a stand?
Find a hand with showdown value and get it there. Q-high isn't exactly it, and once he calls the turn, you're boned.
The fun thing about blind battles is that it can get maddingly frustrating,...

Re: T6s in the BB
I fold pre-flop. This is too much cheese to bother defending with from a UTG raise.
Given that you decided to play it, just fold the turn. You really think he's raising a weak T or worse there?

A 2/4 e-penis battle vs. some random TAG
Villan here was TAGgish but pretty damn aggro, at 22/16/3 over about 500 hands. He has not gotten out of line against the donks, but against other 'good' players he will randomly take shots at...

Re: feels dirty (4 worst hands for the day)
Hand 1 seems OK.
Hand 2 would be helped by what happened in hand 1... ie, if he's a total nutjob, or if he's aggro with TP, or only gives action on big hands. Regardless, unless he's a nutjob you...

Re: Gas or brake? (3/6)
If this guy 3-bet 44-22 or K4-K2 out of the BB (or jammed hard HU on the turn with a diamond draw), more power to him.
I raise/cap.

If he's aggro, it isn't terrible. You probably should find a raise somewhere... but I'm not quite sure where.
Against a more passive opponent again you should...
