In The Money Average

Before I get too far into my post, I just want to say I did many searches and read quite a few threads, but still couldn't find what I am looking for. If after reading my question you know of a...

Re: If playing 9-handed, as opposed to 10, would my flop % be higher?

The only reason why I would think your % would go up with 9 players as opposed to 10 is the fact that you are in the BB 1 out of every 9 hands instead of 10. I'm not really sure how much of a...

Re: How would you have played this?

KK preflop vs AK win % - 69.61
55 vs. Qd9d on Ad9x5d board - 69.90

Hopefully this will help put in perspective why you did the right thing and why you shouldn't worry that you lost this hand.

Re: How would you have played this?

You got your money in with way the best of it. You made it incorrect for your opponent to continue. You were a huge favorite to win this hand and have a dominating amount of chips. Instead your...

Re: How would you have played this?

I think you played it perfect. Almost no chance you are behind at this point, unless he limped in with 9's or A's, both not likely. My calculations say there was 900 in the pot when you pushed...

Re: 37 Weeks to WSOP Quest and $5/10 Disaster

The most important thing I have learned about poker is that you must play at levels you are comfortable with. And that means at levels where a bad losing streak won't break you. If a bad losing...

Re: Who the hell makes this call?

When the blinds are this big in relation to the stacks, I prefer to just move in rather than make a pot-sized bet. The 900 bet on the flop is almost half your stack, might as well just move in. ...

Flopped Set on Non-Dangerous Board

Early in a 5+1 PP SNG I flopped a set and semi-slowplayed it. I thought, and still do think, that it was the right play given the situation. However, I would like to get some feedback from others....

Re: Opening Standards at Short-Handed Table

I think it really depends on your stack size in relation to the blinds and the other stacks. If you are the chip leader but 3 other players are within T500, and the blinds are 100/200, then playing...

Re: KK with two callers...where did I go wrong?

I think you went wrong by running into the flopped nuts and a flopped set. Not much you can do here. This is a tough laydown for just 600 chips, especially when you have that many chips and the pot...

Re: Opening Standards at Short-Handed Table

I think it would depend on how many chips I had, and how many chips the players to act after me had. I would be more inclined to do it with short stacks behind me rather than large stacks, since...

Make This Call?

Early in a PP 5+1 SNG. Blinds are 10/15. I am dealt 22 in the BB. 6 people limp to me and I limp. Flop comes 235 rainbow. I check to an aggressive player on my left and he bets 40. 3 people call...

Re: This Is Automatic..... Right?!?

I don't think so. I think enough times you'll get shown a Ks with a pair, say KsTx, or just a Ks with nothing else going for it. I would have called the 3 bet on the flop and used my position to...

Re: My thoughts, or lack thereof

I addressed that. I said I don't think a free card at this point is that bad. Not many draws on the flop that are still around on the turn.

Re: My thoughts, or lack thereof

I think the turn check is a good play.

If you bet out there is a good chance he is reraising, and if someone made their draw its gonna be 2 more to you when it comes back around (I would assume...

Re: Results and commets

[ QUOTE ]
I think betting out would have been assinine, since even at microlimits people are going to assume that an open better at this flop has at least a high club or TP/good kicker. Given that...

Re: Hand 5 - AJs, Lotsa turn action when A hits

With 3 players, 2 overcards, a backdoor flush and being the preflop raiser I would bet this flop 100% of the time.

I think you played the rest of the hand fine.

Re: Hand 4 - 22 Flops Trips, Lotsa Turn action

Assuming UTG+1 isn't a complete maniac then I think you played it fine. Once he caps the turn you have to put him on a straight or possible slowplayed bigger set.

Re: A10 s..... I had a terrible time here... thoughts???

I think I would raise pf after 3 limpers, especially if the table had a habit of calling 2 cold.

On the flop you have to bet out. Even if the CO has you beat and raises it isn't bad for you as it...

Re: Guess my opponents hand

The obvious geusses would be KK or JJ, but since you want us to guess it must not be that obvious. So, I am going to say Kxd or Axd.

What Were They Thinking?

No real point to this hand, just thought it was amusing.

Party 5 +1 NL Holdem, blinds are 15/30.

EP limps (T95), button limps (T1630), SB completes (T680) and the BB checks (T110). 4 see a...

Re: Should I raise the turn when the better is all-in?

Any time a guy is running very low on chips, you have to start to think that he could be getting desperate. If he has any piece of this board he will surely be willing to commit all his chips. I...

Re: Did I misplay these quads?

I disagree with leading into the raiser. The last thing I want to do here is bet and have the raiser raise and knock out players. He was in a perfect position to check-raise, however, since no one...

Re: Did I misplay these quads?

Slowplaying is almost never correct. On the flop the pot is huge, your goal should be to maximize your chances of winning this pot. At this point...

Ok, Ok, just kidding. But, I do think...
