Re: 44 button hand
More importanly, assuming he didn't have the best hand at the turn, the raise pre-flop put enough extra $$$ to allow him to draw out on the river.

Re: Marginal Hand #1
Pre-flop is fine. Raise the flop, if you get 3-bet, call then fold if you don't hit the 7 on the turn. But raising the flop is essential to get a better idea as to where you're at.

Re: Am I Right? SSH Concept
I didn't read the book as of yet, but if it's a really loose table with 4-6 to the flop even with a raise in EP, then this is a call. If you don't hit your set, fold.
Again, you must be 90%-95%...

Re: TT - Call River?
I don't think you played this incorrectly. You got to a showdown the cheapest way.
If you can fold to a raise, the bet out the turn.

Re: Pick your turn play
I don't like this, but i think a 3-bet is correct.
Hopefully, at worst, unknown has AK for a split and UTG has QQ/JJ.

Re: QJs UTG, HU with overcards

Re: Can I safely fold?
You are probably beat but must not fold. Players will start raising your bets everytime a scare card comes on the river and then you'll be on your way to a tough session. Just make the crying call.

Re: Did I play this right?
I'd overbet the pot in the situation to hopefully eliminate possible flush draws.
If you're re-raised however, now you have a decision to make.

Re: Party 2/4: Bluff-bet this river?
The only way you're winning this pot is by betting. The only problem obviously is whether CO will call or not. I think since he's called all the way (probably w/a weak A), he will not fold on the...

Re: AKo on the Button
Classifying UTG as a decent player is not a sufficient read.
Without a sufficient read, the way you played the hand was fine, i would have played it the same way.

Re: KK and he keeps swinging
Unless you're absolutly positive that this player has AA or a set, it is too early to go into check/call mode on the turn, i think that play loses bets in the long run.
