Re: AQ - I hate everything about this
Limp with this UTG I would say. Check call the flop; better than bet and get raised. Check raise the turn. Check the river if called.
This way about the same amount of money goes in the pot, but...

Re: Should I have just folded? Bubble Play
If you've been stealing his blinds then you're likely to get played back at if you raise a regular amount so the raise all in is fine. But you could also limp and if you get to see the flop cheaply...

Re: 2-4 party: Flopping flush, board paired river
Biggest mistake is the raise to $100 on the turn, as others have pointed out played just like limit. I think that you should raise it to $200. It's a big raise, probably slightly more than the pot,...

Re: Raising like a maniac.
I guess most of the play was ok. The levels are so quick you have to gamble every time you get a decent hand. If there was more time for maneouvre then I probably wouldn't have raised the 22, maybe...

Re: could (should) i have got away from this?
If I'm gonna defend my blind with K5, I prefer to reraise preflop.
On the flop you've stop n go'd, and met heavy resistance. I'd probably call more than half the time (checking the second hand on...

Re: Step 5 AKo - Easy fold?
There is pretty much the right amount of dead money in the pot to be on the wrong end of a coinflip here, which means a call is correct against QQ and below. You have no chance of a 3-way all in...

Re: 75o early in a Step 4
Bet that flop don't check it, IMO. You're on a semi bluff, with a flush draw on the board, and likely overcards against you that you don't want drawing for free, and you do actually have top pair so...

Re: No way out of this??
You say that villain 2 is a tricky player who has restolen a couple of times and then you put him on AA? That doesn't really make sense.
This is a perfect flop for your QQ. Neither player reraised...

Re: KQ late in tourneys..

Re: FINAL TABLE, another JJ hand.
I haven't read all of the other replies yet.
My read on UTG here is AK-J or a bigger pair, possibly TT. More likely overcards.
Here I think there are a number of reasons to flat call.

Re: KK (couldn\'t think of a snazzy title)
With a big pair on this board I overbet the pot. Any action I get is from a strong hand usually, and since he's UTG and had ample odds to call for a set preflop, that's what I will suspect. If I have...

I raise twice the pot on the flop to about $200 and if I was any shallower I push. Not allowing anyone to draw here and min bet/raise play is just annoying. No one will believe you have KT and a...

Re: 2/4 - T8s in SB...
I was thinking that too (couldn't remember if it was called a freeze bet or what) but i think that it should be smaller than half the pot, more like 1/5 - 1/4 the pot.
