Re: Question about the movie \'Rounders\'
They might have edited out a scene or two that provided some context for that blow-up. But if not, you're right - his final moments were fairly inconsistent with his character up to that point.

Checking All The Way (With An All-In)
I'm a relative beginner in tournament play. I've noticed that a lot of players will check it all the way if a third party has gone all-in (presumably to increase the likelihood of busting the...

Re: THE BIG QUESTION.
It's hard to believe people think this is even close. AQ is definitely calling your reraise, and it's safe to assume any player will call the reraise with one and only one of the following three...

Re: Trying something new : KK in the CO
Your stated goal was to limit the field on the turn? Well why use this play when you're on the button? This is the worst spot to do it from considering the liklihood a turn bet could come from an...

Re: Enough bets with full house?
Not reraising the river at least once is ridiculous. He could have had AA, but he also could have had some other hands (like AQ). If he had AA, why didn't he reraise the turn? A turn reraise has...

Re: Folding for a reraise preflop
I think it's close but you should probably call, with certain parameters being crucial to how you play it:
A. you're opponent's propensity for paying off with an underpair when an ace flops
B....

Well, we're talking about the same thing albeit with different semantics. All I was saying was that when you win a pot, 20 big bets is less IN THAT HAND than 22 big bets. I thought it would be more...

Thanks for your response - I liked it best because of its simplicity. I don't know if it is viable for other reasons, but I'm certainly thinking about it.

Re: KQo Pre-flop
I think you're right on the money mentioning the late raiser's perception of the EMP. It's crucial to making the right play against tougher players. It could all swing on that alone.

Re: Fold this river?
Only if you really know this guy's play. You shouldn't fold your hand if there's anything unknown about him. Your hunch isn't good enough with the hand you hold and the odds you're getting.

Re: checking tp/tk, yet again
You forgot to value bet the river. Better hands won't checkraise you since you've represented a monster effectively. If you feel you're beat anyway before the 9 you should have folded on the turn.
