Re: The blind leading the blind

Re: Did I misplay KK?
Raise the pot or more with KK preflop.
I would have raised big on the flop. He is unlikely to have AA or two pair with that betting, so chances are you have him beat. You want to get as many of...

Re: Too Cute With The Nuts
Whenever you flop the nuts you should go into Gorilla mode - swing them to and fro to get as much action as you can get, then hope someone follows you to the river and is prepared to pay for a look!

Re: Ever appropriate to fold AA (preflop)?
Even if you somehow find a situation where folding AA is profitable, you should go all in anyway to avoid the psychic pain of seeing that you would have won, and then thinking "I coulda, shoulda"....

Re: NLHE 2 AA hands
I agree with Limon. On the first hand, you are being given big action with AA preflop, and you have position. His reraise indicates a good hand, so jam him back and hope for KK or QQ - people find it...

Re: Four-handed vs. a Grandmaster
Ray - would you fold in "Grandmaster"'s position with more than 7 BB in the pot? IMO if it's just a random heart on the river then it's a clear call, so the key question is whether "Gab" definitely...

Re: Comments Needed, No Limit HE
IMO this is not the right play.
First, a tight player has raised a multi-way hand pre-flop, so I think you can put him on either a big pair or high suited cards.
Position wise you are not in...
