Re: I can\'t put this guy on a hand

AK if he's good. JJ/AQ/worse if he's just making a move to test you.

Re: Largest downswing you\'ve had?(winning players)

12 buyins for me despite being 9bb/100 after 60k hands. Happens and it sucks

Re: Flopped set, and a nightmare appears

My advice depends on how strong your preflop AA/KK read is. If thats for definate then clearly check/calling the turn and river is the best solution because it gets the max from KK/loses the least to...

Re: How many BB/100 to be considered a \"winning\" NL player??

Well 0.01bb/100 is winning. 6/100 is good and 10/100 is crushing the game.

Re: Flushes don\'t get any worse than this

I don't think I'd ever fold a 3 flush at NL25 unless I had a specific note on the player.

Call. A9/AT/TT/99/A4/T9/44 all play this way.

Re: Which game to play against aliens?

I'd say Snooker. Same rational as pool but the chance of a lessor player beaten a better player in any given frame is far less than in pool.

Obiously this could be both a good and bad thing.

Re: 87s - River bluff

I don't like it. After your push the pot is 225 and he has 100 to call. I think K/Q/J /images/graemlins/club.gif all make a crying call because when someone trys to represent a hand they backed into...

Re: AQ $50NL 6-Max

The K on the end is a great card. As you're now ahead of A9 which looks to be his most likely hand. Add in AJ/Ax and the possiblity he was blocking with a flush draw on the turn and bluffing the...

Re: What hands are you willing to re-raise with preflop?

Against one player it is entirely siutational. If he's bad then I'm raising with a wider range to stop the blinds from being interested. If he's tight/good then I'm only reraising with AA/KK/QQ and...

Re: 200 NL 6 max: Lead out with 88 on a T high flop... fold to push?

Good play if the flop was 27Kr but a bad play on a flop like this. Tens call you, Flush draws call you, Straight draws call you. You're almost certain to go into the turn blind.

SO wait for a...

Re: Set of sixes: Devil or heaven

The fold on the end is pretty clear. You need to raise the flop, especially against players who get commited with mid strenght hands.

Can't raise because you'll not have the room to manouver. Will never get stacked and will take the pot on a wide variety of flops. Easy call.

Re: AA on xyy board (WA/WB?)

If the flop comes 444 I'm value betting on all streets.

If the flop comes 55T I'm value betting all streets

If the flop comes 2KK then I'm going to be a lot more carefull

All this assumes...

Re: How bad is variance?

Most of this has been covered but I will say, if you're aware enough to know that 2+2 exists then you're good enough not to want to buy into NL25 games shortstacked.

If you don't want to commit...

Re: Am I playing K\'s like they are A\'s?

Only once and even with a pointlessly tight read on my opponent it proved to be a marginal error.

Re: New to 6-max, not sure how clear cut this is

Hand looks fine to me.

Rasing 88 out of the blinds is a fine play IMO, the main reason being it so simple to play postflop. I can't think of many flops that will give you a hard decision. They'll...

Re: First gross hand in 100NL

Nasty, but I think you played it ok. Without stats you can't get much more aggressive and you can't fold to either of those bets. Hope he showed you AT and not the flush
