Re: Laying it down
Don't bluff the fish. But if you try your flop raise should have been bigger say a 100. If he calls it does'nt look like he is going to get off the hand.

Re: 50-100 shorthanded AA hand.
It would kill me to blow my whole stack slow playing AA. I understand what you are trying to do but you commit yourself to calling it down quite possibly for your whole stack. In a shorthanded game...

Re: Try a Tricky River Trap?
might as well because he will call with a king and not bet if doesn't have one. I don't think he will feel he could steal the pot if he doesn't.

Re: 2/5 NL Easy Lay Down?
When he doesn't raise your turn bet the best I could put him on would be two pair or a set after the river. I would have pushed. Seems to me he probably had a weak ace. If you layed this hand down I...

Re: PP NL $600
If you had bet the pot on the turn and he calls, it is time to think. When the board paired the fours you could have checked and played from there.
As bad as you played he played even worse. you...

Re: Aces play a big pot? Prima 25-50NL
You have no choice but push to protect your hand. You could put him on anything but it might include a club also.
It looks like he's has a hand that's calling anyhow.
Hope it worked out.

trappers sometime get trapped. trying to play cute lets your opponents see too many free or cheap cards. The game is about driving people out or making them pay. With your style of play you don't put...

Re: Hand
If you going to call it down why not push. That seems to me to be the correct play. Maybe he might have laided down a queen and you still had plenty of outs.

Re: 5/10 QQ UB Hand.
If you raised before the flop why not lead out after the flop. say for 120. giving free cards is courting disaster. lets say an ace or king fell on the turn now what do you do. trappers sometimes...

Re: Party 600 NL Top two hand
with that type of bet it looks like a weak ace to me. I am raising the size of the pot. If he had a set he would only had called. you flopped the best you could hope for. make him pay.

Re: Passive Aggressive AA
If you bet you are only going to get called by a hand that has you beat. If he bets the pot I lay it down. You only have 130 invested. Save your money for a better opportunity.

Re: 400 NL bluff this turn ?
Do you think the villain would be raising with a flush draw? Probably not. You could put him on a queen but with what kicker. I would have reraised the flop to 150 and go from there. If he was on a...

Re: UB 25-50 hand vs GoG
Personally I think you probably folded the winner. If you call the turn you know you are probably going to have to call an all in river bet. So its either fold or go all the way. Seems more likely to...

Re: Bluffing Spirit Rock 25/50
If he has queens beat he is coming over the top of you. Otherwise I am sure he laid the hand down. Your betting represented strength which he would have to respect.
