Re: General \"lead out on the flop\" question

1) If you are thinking of calling the raise p/f and check folding to a cont. bet with an overpair, you should fold p/f. If it takes a set for you to get involved, you will burn money to hit it and...

Re: General \"lead out on the flop\" question

I'd say you would have to lead out in both cases. You are in great shape after both. You can't play this game thinking that the other guy flopped the nuts every hand. You are in a heads up...

Re: River push in $300 live game

I agree, the free card on the flop was poor. I was hoping for a bet from the button, but I need to bet there.

I did call and he showed his 55. I think the call is questionable. It just seems...

Now I'm calling and just shaking my head when I see 99.

Re: Bad call on river ?

I should have said that the SB had joined our table 3 hands ago and had doubled up on his first hand with a semi bad beat. Thanks.

Re: a vegas single table hand

I think a call on the river was in order. You had played passively since the raise before the flop and your bet on the end says I have Ax let's see if it's good. This is the perfect time for a...

Re: how to play it? 10/20NL shortahanded table

I would check/call any bet down to the river. Assuming they have big pairs, they'll call any push. You are a big favorite in the hand, but you still need to hit to win. You might put yoursef in a...

Don't try to argue with someone from whore island. They have a whole different point of view.

Re: Need Serious Help With My Play

I'd say you are getting pegged as a ABC player and you don't do much to change their opinion. You should try to create a table image early, and then play off it when the blinds go up. If you are...

Re: Esfandiari needs to play some 109$ SnG\'s on party

I think the play against Brunson where he mucked a pair with a OE Straight and Flush draw was worse. He played that way in the Heads up Challenge against Fischman too. If he didn't have that...

Re: When to open up?

You should be playing those hands from the beginning. 95% of the table will be in with less, probably much less.

Re: General AK play

Continuation bet of whatever seems to be doing the trick, then check/fold most of the time. I usually refire against short/weak players.

Re: Suspect turn bet, comments please.

I think the probe bet on the flop is right. It could have been smaller,like 100. This implies that you have the queen and want action as well as inciting a possible raise from the real queen. After...

Re: \"Tourney players are idiots\" -Mike Matusow

I'd say he moved in for 120000, was called by a hand that can't call in that spot and he lost the coinflip. Pretty standard.

Re: this hand bent my fragile little mind. was it the right play?

I don't understand. You hit your hand. Even if he made a straight, you still have outs. Forgetting about pf, I would push in after his bet.
