Re: Shortstacked with sooted connectors
I would've played this faster, either pushing preflop or calling the big blind. I think the min-raise is a mistake. If BB goes over the top, you're left with an unpleasant decision. Better to either...

Re: How do you play QQ in the 55s?
Right, I understand. I think I phrased my question badly. Basically, what I'm asking is if early in the game, I don't have much of a read on anyone yet, I raise a good bit with pocket queens and...

How do you play QQ in the 55s?
I've been trying my hand at the 55s lately. Overall it's going well, but I'm unsure how to play pocket queens. In the lower buyins, I could confidently call an all in bet with QQ knowing I was way...

Re: Reraise this river?
yeah, that's about what I figured. I was a little worried when the board paired but given the action postflop I figured a set was unlikely and my only real danger was to an ace high flush - which was...

Reraise this river?
First orbit at this table, so no reads yet. Was the river reraise ok?

Re: First hand, calling all in with QQ
Yeah, and that's part of my issue. I've been moving up the 1 table tournament stakes fairly quickly - my bankroll has been helped dramatically lately by a good mtt cash, ring games and a good run in...

First hand, calling all in with QQ
Party $50+5, first hand. I get QQ on the button. One limper in middle position. I raise to 125, BB goes all in, limper calls. If I assume these are typical loose party players and put them on a range...

Can I get away from this set?
I played live for the first time tonight - 1/2 no limit holdem. Table is fairly LAGgish. Villian is very loose preflop and pretty aggressive. He's the big stack with about $1000 and is bullying the...

Re: Do You Call This on the River
My line would be to bet about half the pot on the flop and fold to a reraise. You don't have much of a hand, so I'd wait for a better spot.

Re: Another $%@* KK post
Definitely bet about half the pot. If the villian doesn't have an ace, it's likely he'll fold. In a low buyin, villian is probably calling down with any ace, so if he calls I go into check-fold mode.

I think the BB is putting you on a steal attempt and getting a little too carried away with a decent, but worse hand than yours.
