Re: Party 50nl 6 players - Did I maximize value with this hand?

I vote for betting this hand aggressively the whole way (pot-sized bets on flop and turn, and an oversized bet on the river). With a four flush on the board, it's an extreme situation. If he has...

Re: Negraneau call\'s a value bet with King High?????

I can think of several reasons why you might want to call in such spots. First, you'd gain potentially useful information about your opponent's betting habits. Second, in heads up play Ace or King...

Re: Gutshot Wheel Draw on flop - enough to warrant call or standard fo

Thanks for all the replies. I'm glad there wasn't a consensus - at least it makes me feel that the decision wasn't so straightforward!

I ended up folding in this spot. I think this is a...

Re: AKo - made trips on river, facing raise.

Thanks for all the replies! Here's my (brief) analysis of the situation. The hands I have to be worried about the most are Kings full or a straight. However, in both cases, I would think he'd raise...

Re: KQo - TP on monotone flop facing turn action

That's a really good point. During the hand, the little voice inside me screamed "FLUSH" when SB bet. But I didn't think I had enough info to fold, especially since it's possible I'm up against a...

In the actual hand, I folded to the turn raise. The river was a 2/images/graemlins/club.gif. SB had two small diamonds for a flush made on the flop. MP3 had A2 with the...

AKo - made trips on river, facing raise.

I make trips on the river, and get raised. Do I smooth-call or three-bet?

Gutshot Wheel Draw on flop - enough to warrant call or standard fold?

Is this an easy fold on the flop or should I be chasing?

Here are some reasons for folding:

KQo - TP on monotone flop facing turn action

There aren't too many cases where I'd call a bet and fold to a raise on the same street, but this seemed like a reasonable situation to do so. Comments on all streets appreciated!

Re: 77 hand..donked by TAG on turn

I raise the turn. If villain doesn't have a set, then he has to pay to see the river -- which you want especially since the board is coordinated (flush possibilities, and connecting cards). If he...

Re: AQ vs tag, river bluff?

I can't imagine you'll get a better hand to fold by betting this river (especially since your turn check through screams weakness), so I don't try to bluff at this pot.

Re: Value bet this river or hope to check it down?

IMHO, you should value bet this river. I doubt your opponent would check raise the river here (especially since the turn got checked through). If you get a chance, please fix the hand so it's more...

Re: Am I gving Pre-Flop Early Position Raises too much Respect?

Like others, I default fold here, but I also pay attention to the hand -- especially on a showdown to see what my opponent has, so I have a sense of his raising standards. Sometimes people raise...

Re: Advice on AQ

I agree with how you played this hand. You beat a wide range of possible hands on the river, so it's a good value bet.

On the river, I pretty much call 100% of the time (especially absent any...

Re: A8o isolation from the BB

Unless you're pretty sure that you can get the limpers to fold, I don't like the raise in the BB.

Post flop seems OK to me. Looks like SB might have had some type of a busted flush draw. CO's...

1. I probably just fold this preflop - especially since the only person entering this pot is UTG so must have some type of hand. With these weak off-suit hands, you are looking for a pot with few...
