Re: AA scary board, line check.
I like the line you took in this hand. This is a pretty classic way ahead/way behind situation where you're trying to induce bluffs from hands that you have drawing slim and minimize your losses...

Re: player or plumber ???
Fold pre-flop. You're not closing the action so you can't even guarantee you'll get to see the flop. Even when you do see the flop A9s is very hard to play out of position with your stack size. You...

Re: Blind v Blind near the Bubble
Blind vs. Blind is completely about what range villain will call/push into you with and how your hand fairs against that range. So playing against an unknown is difficult.
Villain has a random...

Re: Simple TT Hand
Open pushing preflop with 19xbb and TT is pretty bad here. The only hand you're significantly behind that you maybe fold out is JJ. There's no reason to be so scared of seeing a flop with a 19xbb...

Re: AJs UTG, I made this mess....
Preflop: Limp preflop if your table is fairly passive. If it's agro just fold em. AJs just isn't worth a raise from ep.
Flop: With the way you played it, I'd just make a standard continuation...

Re: AKs preflop
This is a very easy push. You just aren't up against AA enough to fold it preflop.

Re: Poker IQ Test Draught (Long)
What amazes me is how many good players don't have a good understanding of odds. You'll see pros like Miami John ask if QTs vs. A5o is a a 2:1 dog or someone ask Jenifer Harmon the odds and she'll...

This is why I would have just folded preflop and saved myself the headache. Losing folding equity here...

Re: A2s in SB in supersatellite
You have to push. Villain's calling range should be very very tight here and with an Ace in your hand it makes it pretty unlikley that he has a hand that will call. Your lead over the other stacks is...

Re: BAD Board, BAD Position, GREAT Hand...HELP!!!
I like pushing here. I'm not pushing to protect my hand. I'm pushing for value because these guys cannot fold a huge range of hands that you have crushed with 2 cards to come. I don't like letting...

You're playing scared because you really want to just make the money. You have a premium starting hand and 11 bb stack and you're looking at a limp from the co and a button raise. This is a clear...

Re: Goot play with big stack or donkey push??
Villain is pot committed after check-raising you on the turn. You've got very little folding equity on the turn when you push and with two overs and a gutshot straight you're certainly behind. I...

Your stack is just too deep for pushing there. You get looked up by mid pairs lot because it just looks so fishy.
If you're afraid of getting lots of callers or getting reraised and having to...

Hand 1 is a pretty clear preflop push because of the two limpers and your stack size. Having not pushed preflop, I now push that flop.
Hand 2 I would check the flop with the intentions of...

Re: Pocket pair on a monotone flop
You can't pose vague questions like this and expect to get good answers. Poker is all about the details. You need to post the hand histories to get good advice.
