Re: call to MAYBE chop?
PokerBob,
You shouldn't fold (given the size of the pot) and raising seems wrong (given the CO's 3-bet preflop and his post-flop play) so calling here is the correct play.

Re: Flop raising with position
onegymrat,
Why did you raise the flop in your first hand? If the pot was bigger I could see making a move here, but given the description of your two opponents it seems to be a negative EV play....

Re: 20/40 84s

I can see getting called by worst hands (notably by the loose-passive BB) so I like betting the river here.
BTW I understand your motivation for open-raising from MP, but couldn't you...

Re: 15/30: Tough spot w/ TT in multiway pot
Preflop I like just calling with your pocket Tens. Even if a raise gets the two EP limpers to fold, you are still facing 4 opponents (and it appears that the game is so loose that you are going to...

Re: Another from the same 20/40 game
na4bart,
I don't think that your play here is going to work (although I don't fault you for trying -- the pot is pretty big). The problem is that the average player who 3-bets preflop has a...

Re: Too fancy? (O8)
Q,
I'm quite new to the game but I'll take a stab at this hand.
Flop: You put the SB on a low draw. If accurate then I think raising here is a mistake. You can't win low and you only have a...

Re: Bellagio 80-160 Hand #2, AQo on the button
The pot is pretty big and the BB could be betting a draw. Why not raise the turn, planning on folding if the BB 3-bets?
On the river, just check behind without improvement.

Ice,
If you believe that raising the flop will narrow the field down to 3 of you then I would have done so. But if it won't then I like calling here.

Since you have position why not raise? If you can get the blinds to fold you may pick up some more outs by making your overcards good (in addition to your straight and flush draws).
