Re: Party 50nl 6 players - call pot sized bet w/tp 8 kicker on river?

Actually, the check on the river is fine against an opponent who is likely to bet worse hands than he would call with (almost all non weak-scared opponents after this betting sequence). Assuming...

I agree with others that you should've bet the flop, but as played, you have to call here.

Re: QQ agaisnt idiot calling station

I always bet the same pre-flop, 3.5 BB + 1 BB per limper, no matter what I have (unless there are idiots calling huge raises with crap, but I hadn't seen that here).

Re: QQ agaisnt idiot calling station

I agree with those of you who said bet more on the turn. My thinking at the time was that he would call the $20 bet with any pair, but I might run out a hand that was drawing dead with a bigger bet....

Re: How do you acclimate to moving up? (lc)

Personally, I just wait until I have 300 BB's at the next level that I can stand to lose, and then just take single table shots. If I lose anything at all, I move back until I'm back to the extra 300...

Re: Utilyzing the overbet (somewhat LC)

I've been doing this more & more lately when I've been in LAG mode. I'm astounded at how often it actually works.

If MP just wants to isolate the UTG donkey, why not push instead of min-raise and give hero (who is most likely on a real hand) such great odds to call? Not saying that you're wrong, just seems...

And what would you do if you were OOP since a check will tend to induce a bet (and often a large bet) behind which may or may not be a bluff?

Re: $400nl 6-max: TPTK in family pot.

I don't really like the pf raise w/ATo, what is calling that you beat? Post flop, I'd usually just lead, unless MP is aggro enough to bet anything most of the time, then the flop play is fine.
