Re: Should I have bet this turn?
Villain limped in UTG+1. Usually this is either some weak suited connector or a monster. By the turn you have obviously ruled out a monster so I'd have to put him on something pretty weak.
Could...

Re: Weak Ace vs unknown!
After the flop without any reads, you must put your opponent on:
1. A set
2. 2 Pair (likely AT)
3. Spade draw
Say #1 or #2 are 70% probable and #3 is 30% probable. If #1 or #2 is true then...

Re: Bottom pair after lots of folds
There is the possibility that the button has a lower pair and was trying to get heads up with you. I would at least bet the flop and see what he does.
Without a read though, there aren't any...

Re: slow down?
Generally the limp-reraise signifies a monster hand but at this limit with no read, a monster is not a foregone conclusion.
TT isnt that strong in the face of a 3bet (limp/reraise or otherwise)...

Re: QQ - Standard?
The fold on turn is obviously a good one - but what about the flop call? Its an interesting problem to analyze.
If you believe in your read then Villain is about 90% to have AA/AK/KK/TT and 10%...

Re: Problems with flopping a single pair
Hand 1 - on flop you have no hand and no draw
Middle pair when an ace on board is no hand. With 4 callers, its not a bad assumption that at least one of the callers of your raise (remember that...

Re: Double Paired Bored: Good Laydown?
I'd call it as well. The SB bet is suspicious as if he really only has a 7, then he must think he'll only get called by somebody with an 8. I'd put him on unimproved overcards or a Q that you...

Flop play is OK to see where you are at, but you got called and the board is uncoordinated so there is a descent clue that your opponent probably has an A or a T. Since your preflop raise is cold...

Re: Am I being to aggressive here?
Whenever somebody bets into the preflop raiser, you have to give him credit for at least a semi-bluff, so if you don't have any piece of the flop, a reraise is just leaking money (imo). You still...

Re: 2 pair, fold the turn?
You can very well be behind 67, 89, or 88. Reads would be helpful to see if your opponent would have open-limped with 88 or 99 fron MP2. Its probably just as likely that your opponent is on a spade...

I like the turn bet because it will tell you what you need to know about the hand. If you are raised then you know you are beat (or at least have to give the respect).
Since you are just called,...

Re: KTs flops nut fush draw and 2nd pair
