Re: 2-5 NL Tough Boston Game
If you are better than 98% why do you mostly lose at this game?
Grow up, act more mature and your play will improve

Fatal Error-
Are you the really annoying young buck who is overly cocky and thinks he is better than everyone?

Re: 5/10NL vs. known professional
I had a read on him and did not give him odds to hit the flush with my turn bet. When he called and the river brought the 3rd club and he bet into me i thought about it for a while and folded.

Re: 5/10NL vs. known professional
I called the flop bet because I knew he was on the draw and that I could outplay him if i called and he didnt hit. lots of good players do this all the time rather than raise.....why play a big pot...

This pro is loose agressive and will raise with many hands, on all streets, even on a pure bluff. I thought that he was on a flush draw on the flop based on his bet and decided to call to either hit...

Did anyone else see James Woods at the Foxwoods 5 + 5 NL game on saturday night? I see this game with semi deep stacks (at least for my BR)and would think he plays something higher.
I wonder is he...

Re: kinda deep 2/5 hand
First off I am glad that you got paid off with a set here. I personally would not have taken this line here. I am more inclined to lead out into the initial raiser for somewhere between 50% and 100%...

Re: You know that gray area?
I will take a stab at this.
Villain has 88/99 or just a meager pair of tens. He thinks that no one has an overpair and wants to take the pot down before someone makes the draw.
At best the...

Re: big blind special. discuss.
If we knew more about the villain then the decision will be more clear.
What range of hands does one limp with from UTG. Any kind of decent player will muck A3. 88 / JJ / AA all seem plausible...

Re: big blind special. discuss.
Lets see.
I would be 50/50 on leading out on the flop. This is player dependant. On the turn (if it went check/check on the flop) I would definately bet out. I just dont like your line here.

Re: Set of Crabs
I like a flop reraise here to $150 or $200. If he pushes it is a no brainer for me. If he calls then I would lead the turn for 50%-100% of the pot.
I assume you took his stack or doubled him up...

Re: Flopped the nut flush and got check raised
I do not like your call of the villains check raise.
When he comes over the top for $150 I would be most inclined to reraise. For one, if he has a flush and another heart comes out the action on...

JJ is one of the most difficult hands to play in NL holdem.
If I played in a game where there was constant raising going ON pre-flop I would probably limp from UTG or UTG+1. If there was no raise...
