Re: RESULTS
Good point--I guess a checkraise on 4th pretty much pot commits villain too. Like the title suggests, it was a "goofy line."
Anywho, villain called my all-in almost immediately, saw my AK, and...

Re: Goofy AK line...did I blow it?
"Pushing here is kinda pointless, unless you have him read as someone who can't fold an ace."
I do, especially after my recent bluffs (one of which was against him, and he called me down with 3rd...

Re: Help I can\'t win
I would suggest moving down in limits until you feel comfortable playing at this high of stakes.

Goofy AK line...did I blow it?
6 handed max...2/4 NL...400 max buy-in. I just sat down 10 hands ago and bluffed twice somewhat big on missed draws in the first 4 hands. I've shown AA and KQ suited after winning 2 recent pots and...

Re: Butchered KK
"What do you think about the turn play? Do you ever check here to make it look like you have AK?"
I bet here in hopes of getting called by AQ/KQ or maybe even QJ suited. Like you said, the limper...

Re: How would you play this JJ

Thoughts/RESULTS
I agree with needing to bet more on the flop, but I think the turn bet was OK because I was doing it to put MP3 all-in, as well as charge villain to hit his draw (maybe 40 or so would've been a...

Interesting $1/2 hand
This table is somewhat tight, and pretty passive. Villain to my right is tight aggressive but capable of making some tricky moves. Hero has ~$350, Villain ~$200, MP3 ~$50
MP1 raises to $4, MP3...

Goofy 1/2 action,
Sat down a few minutes ago, so no real reads. I get dealt AK offsuit in MP2. Instead of raising to 8, I raise to 84 (!!) by accident...MP3 thinks for a while and just calls. No other callers. I...

I've used firepay for about 5 months, and haven't had a single problem. The only downside is the $3.00 charge on your initial deposit, which fortunately I only had to make once. Although, they did...

Re: 2/4 deepstacks w/ a tricky player

Don't try to be a genius and call his bluff. Maniacs do eventually get hands, and that's how they make their money. There's no need to donate here-- wait for a better spot when you have a...
