Re: OOP extraction decision
The basic problem is that there are so many cards that I do not want to see on the turn (any spade, a 6, 7, 8, J-K) which could make either a straight or flush and I am first to act.
Raising to...

Re: AA and I called the river
Bet more on the flop (3 or better yet 4).
Slowing down on the turn is good. If villain calls full pot on the flop, check behind on the turn and reevaluate the river.
Here I call the river no...

Re: Commerce 10/20 - Bad Call with Bottom Set?
Of course you run it as many times as possible. Running it twice, or three or more times does not change your EV in the slightest, it just reduces variance. That is a good thing.

Re: 1/2 live
Yes, this is a smooth call. The nut flush has only 5-6 outs since we hold 2 card, 2 on the board, they would hold 2, and 1-2 would give us the straight flush (depending on what Axs they hold -- it...

Call or no? What hands make sense? Do you put in a big third raise preflop with AK or AKs?

Re: 1/2NL Live - Set of 7\'s Hand

The turn check is good as many str8 draws just got there. Check the turn and reevaluate on the river. The BB has to have a decent hand to lead into 5 limpers with a pot sized bet on...

Re: NL100, I can\'t believe I made this fold.
Kongo is right. You should go broke on this hand every time and be happy.
You have the third nuts (behind KK and 55). What hands would villain push with? 77, 57, K5, A5, T5, (Q-J5 if really...

Re: Pushing More Often - AA hand fairly standard
If everyone had about 60bb and you raised it to 15bb preflop with two callers, there is 45bb in the pot and everyone has 45bb behind. Your "push" is simply a potsized bet. Standard. This is why...
