Re: pushing TPTK

I think this illustrates why many here advocate keeping
a pot small with TPTK. Not because TPTK doesn't win, it
wins it's share. It's that, on average, when it wins, it
wins a SMALL pot; but...

Re: JJ I love this hand

I need some more information:

1) What position are you?
2) What position is villian?
3) How much was your raise in BB?
4) What style of play comes from villian?

Thanks,
Mike L.

Re: Two Party hands

Hand 1: This is tough, I think. You are looking at a flop from an unraised pre-flop pot. Any holdings from the opposition are possible, KT not withstanding. You bet (why not just put the pot bet...

I'm folding here. CO limped in, which is characteristic for a JT hand. Plus, CO's just 5x

Re: Set of Threes - Monster Pot

Considering his pre-flop betting, his flop re-raise looks like
scared aces (AA). This is the flop you were playing for. If
you don't like this flop, don't play little pairs; ever.
