Re: Wasting Aces...

I make the same raise with AA in your position every time and feel fine with winning it preflop.

Re: Pot Odds are killing me in Party Tournaments

I'd agree that I might ditch after the min raise, but I must be missing the issue here - you're getting a great price to call the turn.

I know its early, but I prefer to play more aggressively, if...

Re: Pete \"The Beat\" comes over the top of me..now what?

I don't see a way off your hand. I call and have to live with it if he flopped a set or better two pair.

Re: Kind of players you want at your table.

Weak tighties - especially if near the money or at the FT.

Re: Deep in a Party $109, blind defense vs big stack?

You could stop n go here, but if the BB calls, you're a really bad position. I like a push here, especially if he's been pretty active.

Re: TPNK in Dry Sidepot

I don't see why you want to call PF here. To me its a clear fold. You're getting 3:1 to call here, but the CO still has chips left and this is over 10% of your stack. Its a fold for me

On the...

Re: PS 180 players - FT 5 players 55 UTG

I'd fold, especially if the table is as tight as you say. Once the button passes you, you should be open raising often for the above reason.

Re: Hand selection once your ITM

You're not always a favorite - how often are you bumping up against higher pairs, or high suited connectors - ie. 55 vs JTs. You're not always a favorite as much as you think.

Also, are you...

Re: Mini Step 4 - Do you call this push?

Main reason for me not calling this is that you'd lose the chip lead which I would rather use to attack mid-stacks ie. everyone to your left.

Re: Hit a set on turn, but puts 3 flush on board

I like to keep the pot small here. I don't mind a check on the turn. I'll call upto a 3/4ths pot bet on the river if another diamond doesn't hit.

Betting out also has benefits to define the...

I probably would have folded preflop. I think I check/call the river.

Why fold this hand preflop? Stacks not deep enough?

Re: 180SnG, TPTK Facing Bet On Flop

Raise and call a push.

His limp-call PF seems pretty weak, weak ace, QJ, 78s, maybe even JT. Don't know if he's bad enough to open limp with 99 or TT.

Your hand is too good to fold and too...

Re: Preflop with AK at final table in PS 20 table SNG

I like a push here, I like it more if you can get the big stack to fold. Then you're getting 3:1 to take AK into a 3 way race.

It's "fair enough", but you're taking a very slight EV hit when you consider the remote possibility that the big stack still finishes 3rd.
