Re: 3 handed stars 30-60. . .
It's not clear from your post if both players are still in, but against 1 player I think this is quite an easy bet.

Wow..threads get buried fast around here!
Anyways, I don't consider the play of this hand standard, as some of the posters seem to suggest. Against a typical opponent I would probably not have...

200/400 HU
Havent posted in quite some time, so here's a hand I played recently.
It's HU (SB is button) against a really aggro player. There's a lot of aggression going on to take initiative (so lots of...

I don\'t care about the hand.
When I read Tommy's post I didn't even care about the actual hand. Tommy's assumptions in this hand are not the same as in the initial post and even a bit contraditionary, because he is assuming a...

Re: 80/160 GAME AT BELLAGIO
I wish I could ever reach the Buddha-like state you describe. But as it is, I'm still too much attached to that damned thing in the middle of the table.
Forever learning,

Re: 3-handed 10/20 NL
I agree with what all the posters said. I thought button had an easy call getting a bit less than 1:2, knowing SB would likely not have AA or KK, and BB is likely to know that.
SB held 99 and BB...

3-handed 10/20 NL
3-handed. You're on the button and have both your opponents covered.
SB seems tilting. BB is a good player who isn't afraid to gamble.
You have QQ and make it 80. SB immediately moves in for...

Re: 40-80 hand #1
If this hand is played live in Vegas (where cap is 5 bets right?) then I see a lot of merit in 4-betting the flop.
The board is draw-heavy so I wouldn't rule out a draw when he 3-bets. He could...

Re: 400-800 hand 6 handed
IMO check-raising the flop is superior to check-raising the turn.
Since you will be defending your blind with a wide range of holdings, a flop with all medium cards could very well have hit you....

Re: Who folds AK here
3-bet the flop. I'm surprised you didn't even seem to consider that option (since you make no notion of it in your post).

I don't think it matters much for the discussion, but my opponent held a pair AND a flushdraw. His hand was Js9s. It would have been much more interesting to see what he had done with a hand like...

Seriously though; you have about as much information about this player as I had. He seemed a typical shorthanded aggro player. I only had played a few hands before with him.
So would you...

We all agree that there are only two real decisions in this hand. The flop 3-bet and the river check. There seems to be some consensus that the 3-bet has the potential of being a good one, whereas...

Pushing it too much?
Five handed 40/80. UTG, seems typical shorthanded aggro capable of making plays, raises. I 3-bet in the SB with KQ. UTG is the only caller.
Flop is A 9 5 two spades.
I bet, he raises. I 3-bet...
