Re: A very weak hand with no action.
I think you played this hand fine. With no one showing aggression on the flop or turn I think your bets on the turn and river were good. Occasionally someone will be slowplaying an Ace, but usually...

Knowing me, I would have checked that river as well as we now have 4 to a straight on board.

Re: wait til turn to bet big to prevent draws?
I have to agree with DCIAce. I do not think there is much you could have done to make this guy fold. With top pair and the nut flush draw, he probably would have followed you to the river, no...

Re: Was this correct to fold here
I believe you were correct to fold here. Since the pot was not raised pre-flop, there is no way of knowing whether the flop hit someone or not. There are way too many cards that can leave you dead...

Re: A post for Ed Miller
If the turn is a Queen or a 8, you will have either four Kings and four 8's or four Queens and four 7's to make your backdoor straight. Which is 8 outs on the turn and 8 outs on the river.
If the...

With #1, you may get too chatty and miss some of the action while you are trying to type out your next comment. Also, what if you really start to like the person,...

If A/A and K/K are the only hands that you are raising pre-flop, you are allowing too many people to see the flop for cheap. Now I know that you will get more callers at the micro-limit tables than...

Re: AKs early in tourney
For me, it's an easy fold. Being this early in the tournament, it's just not worth the risk of a call. For all you know, this person could have raised with a pocket pair and hit trips. They might...
