Re: 25-50 shorthanded online
Hi All_Aces (is this pokerroom by any chance??)
So you raise from the button in a shortthanded game so the SB puts you on any two cards. The flop comes K high and the SB is liking his K. He'd...

Re: Flop choice.
There are 13 bets in the pot on the flop and if our hero hasn't got the best hand he has somewhere between 0 and 9 outs (counting the backdoor flush draw as two outs). a T is not a great out against...

Re: what\'s the best turn play here?
Preflop you raise and get three coldcallers. Nobody three bets. JJ is a slight possibility but you would think QQ, KK or AA would 3 bet.
On the flop you bet and the three behind just call in a...

Re: at what point do you get away from this?
Mike,
Although this game is shorthanded, if your read on this player is correct then he is likely to be three betting you with AK,AQ,AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT or 99 (if he is not that tight and has loosened...

Re: value bet with trip aces on board
As always, it depends on the player but I would take the following factors into account.
He limps from EP and you raise so he should (depending on your table image) put you on a decent holding.

Re: 9-18 Central Ca
Your bet on the flop is the right play.
If I had a K and I was the BB I would have check raised the flop given that board. The board is closely connected and there will be a lot of straight...

Re: Multi-way Early Posistion Hand
You only want to invest one bet on the river and the superior play is check calling. The fact that nobody raised you on the turn does not deny a flush. The BB or another early player could have a...

Re: mistake better the river?
I agree with Diplomat, absolutely nothing you could do.
He played it horribly on every street but the river. When he check raises you on the turn you put him on a flush. Consequently, one of his...

Re: 20-40: How hard do you push this?
Preflop
I think your play is fine. I don't think there is any reason to 4 bet preflop (although if the button had not called and the SB would 3 bet with any hand he was going to play - I would...

Re: 95 suited
You are clearly going to call a river bet. There are far too many hands he could have been betting that you have just leap frogged as a result of the river card.
The question is whether you now...

Re: Pocket kings can suck it
I agree with a lot you have to say in regard to hand 2. Also, in real time, I think I would have bet the river in this hand.
However, there are a few points about the hand:

Re: A comment on limp-re-raising.
I agree that most limp reraises are made with hands other than AA, KK or AK.
However, whenever I am in a hand with a person who has limp reraised I will ask the following questions:

Re: How was my play?
I'm getting busy on the flop but definitely slowing down on the turn.
Any 8, or QK now has you beaten. The flop betting indicates that somebody MAY (although unlikely given preflop betting) have...

In the original post, the opponent was described as a "very good player". Very good players are players who can read cards and amount to a small % of all...

Re: Pocket kings can suck it
I like to use the limp reraise when there is an aggressive person or two in late position. In this case you cost yourself bets as the BB would have in all likelihood have 3 bet preflop giving you...

Re: Lost the whole way...how did I play???
You have to check-fold the flop.
It's a small pot, you may be drawing dead and if not, you only have 6 outs with a redraw on the river. On the flop, there are two players to act after you who...
