Re: nut straight on monotone flop
Given stacks, when UTG raises the flop it's push-or-fold time. I push. If he flopped the flush he's getting my money anyway, but I want to price him out of everything else.

Re: Borderline spots preflop
The thing is, it's a minraise, 1BB, and you're closing the action, so you don't have to worry about a reraise behind.
I think I would call, hope to hit the flop hard (two pair or better) and...

Re: What is the best way to play this?
It's not clear from the original post what your first action was on the flop.
Regardless, if you were Villain, and watched an opponent raise preflop, and then saw a flop with an A, what would you...

Re: AA facing heat
The problem is, you're OOP, so you have to decide up front if he hit his draw or not. If he did, you're probably toast anyway. But,
(1) you may still have the best hand here;
(2) he doesn't...

Re: JJ in EP Help me
Villain didn't just raise the flop, he raised with two opponents still in. Your pair is no good. Fold.

Re: AA against major lag
That flop is full of draws and you're committed if he calls your bet anyway, so you might as well just push the flop and get it over with. Way too many cards you don't want to see on later streets.

Re: Result
Your KK ran into an AA hand with position on you, played by a villain who is "quite loose, aggressive and is willing to bluff."
You should get stacked here every single time.

Re: very hard KK (pre)flop decision
I would consider that flop to be about the worst possible on planet earth for AA. It could only be worse if it were monotone and I didn't have the matching A. I think I would fold. But I really...

Re: How to play the overpair?
Fold. You've shown nothing but strength all the way to the turn, and villain doesn't care. Your pair is no good.
Edit: Raise the flop more

I don't like playing pots this big with one pair but as far as I can see, the only two ways to avoid it here are to find a way to fold postflop, or to change your preflop play.

Re: QQ. How big is big?
For bet sizes, think in terms of fractions of the existing pot. Many posters here talk about 3/4-to-full potsize bets on the flop, 2/3-to-3/4 bets on the turn, and 1/2-to-2/3 bets on the river.

Re: On a 30,000 hand downswing.....
krazyace5, I just did a quick search. Looks like it's been a long, long time since you posted a hand for commentary.
Post hands. It works. Trust me on this.
