Re: I value call my nuts?

Overcalls are lovley. And the fact that you might be able to trap a large field for 3 bets is even more lovley.

Re: I Don\'t Know Enough to be a Winning Player (QUIZ)

Holy weak tight batman. The table he is describing is a great 10/20, 5-6 people to the flop.

He advocates:

Folding JJ against a raise and a call in LP.

Folding AK against a...

Re: So many outs...

Well, your certainly not winning this pot by checking. Bet/Fold and hope he was on a draw as well. With 4.5 BB in the pot, this move only has to work 25% of the time to be profitable, however. ...

Re: Do I need to bet to win this pot?

I think this is the classic free showdown situation. If he has something like QT, your winning. But why, oh why, are you trying to bluff a calling station.

Re: i\'m ultra paranoid..

Adjusting to shorthanded play is a bitch. The swings suck. The best philosphy is to keep it simple. Reads are much more important than in full because your going to end up heads up a higher % of...

Re: let it go?

Nope. Not many 'standard' small stakes players will fast play trip kings like this. Most likley holding with Ax/images/graemlins/club.gif. Call the turn and re-eval the river, though, i'm tempted...

Re: AKs HU but UI: Call it down?

i bet/call the flop and reevaluate the turn. I'm tempted to call down with no /images/graemlins/spade.gif on the board, but then again, i'm a fish.

Re: i\'m ultra paranoid..

Super bad laydown, IMHO. Esp. with no reads. He could be C/Ring with anything from AK all the way down to 9T. A8, TT, 99, all will try this. Just payoff here. If he has a Q, make notes. He has...

Re: KJ crappy river

Standard bet/fold. He's not going to bluff raise you with less than the straight, but he will call down a worse J.

Re: Marginal hand

Check/calling and bet/folding are the same here. If you bet, he raises, your beat. If you bet, he calls, your beat (most of the time). If you check, he bets, you might be able to induce a bluff. ...

Donk bet this river. He's not going to bet for you with anything less than a flush Q or 9 high. He'll be hardpressed to get away from any hand if you bet here. Maybe he'll do something silly like...

Re: Trainwreck session post (Thanks for the how-to Spicy)

You need to steal ALOT more OTB. A3o is a perfect stealing hand. As is K4s. That AKo hand was ugly. Why are you C/Ring 2 overs+gutshot+backdoor. You have tremendous equity. Why drive people out...

Considering a almost never fold TP when heads up without a very strong read, espically not in blind defense situations.

Re: Hi! My name is...

If you only have a $130 roll, you need to move down and do some bonus whoring. 6 max is a bitch for downswings.

Re: calling when 3rd flush card hits and raised

You are betting for value. Its possible he has a slowplayed worse king. If he hit the flush, good for you. You have a chip bleeding player at your table.

Re: too chicken?

Pump dat pot for Christ sakes. With three other people in the pot, your risking one bet when your ahead more than 50% of the time to win 3 BB. I don't slowdown to the river 3 bet.

Re: 6 max troubles, advice/suggestions please, some stats included

What you need to realize about 6 max is that, High card strength goes further than you realize. Isolation is the name of the game. You can raise with K9o in LP, even with a limper, because they are...

Re: - Bankroll Requirements for Shorthanded Play - (long)

Good post. Bankroll is all about comfort level. I think if the minimum for full ring is 300 BB, the minimum for shorthanded should be at least 500. If you are going to play with less, just be...

You can a 'good run' can alter your stats over long periods of time, as can a bad run. I know alot of winning players at 5/10 and 10/20 who were 2+ BB/100 winners over 60k hands, and were 1 BB/100...
