Re: I hate laying down KK on the flop
Hands like this usually show up because a hand like QQ ends up winning in the end, and you feel like a dope because you folded the best hand. If this is the case, don't worry about it. I played a...

Re: Is it OK to cold call in this situation?

As many have stated, 3-betting is your best option here. Though, I gotta disagree with some of the advice given on calling. I think calling with position vs. a LAG can indeed be profitable...

Re: 10k Hand tuneup
I tend to play a little tighter than most here, particularly from early position. I would be the first to admit that I am probably giving up a small amount of value, particularly at tables that...

Re: 10k Hand tuneup
Does anyone else think that there is alot of limping from early position in particular. Depending on the typical table, I understand limping later, but I don't do much limping at all from the first...

Re: AQ facing a turn donk bet
This is kind of a hijack, but I am trying to learn new lines. I see a "free showdown" line used occasionally. Is this a spot for one? Say we call the lead on the flop but raise the turn (folding...

Re: learning
I'd like to hear some other comments on this. Given the size of the pot, I don't know that I don't mind the call on the flop. The only problem I see would be that you have no reads. You miss out...

Re: middle pair - a plan?

For what it is worth, though, I did raise it on the flop and both the blind and the PFR folded. The cold-caller went to the end with his gutshot draw, and MHIG. I now feel that this was...

I felt comfortable with everyone at the table, we've been playing for an hour plus.
UTG is a total donk 76/1.6/0.54

exactly how much do you trust your read?
Villian is your typical hyper aggro tag, 16.6/9.5/(infinity) through four orbits. He's UTG here, so even though he limps, I have him on reasonable cards. He may get out of line with his betting,...

Re: Gutshot and over(s?)
Thanks for your comments everyone. Obviously, since the hand came through, it looks good, but in retrospect, I feared the value of the raise was a little thin.

Re: Rake Question
That's awful! Essentially you are paying $30-$40 every hour as a time charge. Sounds like a pretty good way to go broke.

I know, I know, this is on UB, and I could do much better.
Table has been mostly passive, but I've only been around about 3 orbits. Seat to my right has been aggressive though. I was definitely...

If BB has low aggression, just the fact that he's raising here should be worrying you. He won't cap because he's afraid of bigger hands out there.
