Re: Bet this turn?
Bet. Calling station SB and BB's ranges are both very wide on this flop and includes overcards and flushdraws which you are ahead of now, and they may fold 6-out overs. You could also get a better...

Re: Isolating with A5s
I think this is pretty dependent on button and moreso SB and BB. If SB and BB are pretty tight I think you can raise, if they are moderately loose I'd call especially with 2/3 SB/BB structure. You...

Re: Stupid spot...
I like this. Assuming a reasonable BB, after he 3-bets PF and checks this flop 3-way, he is likely very strong or somewhat weak, so something like AA/JJ/AJ, or KK/QQ/TT/99 that doesn't want to put...

Re: Is this dreadful? 44 on Party 3/6
PF is pretty bad, I'd fold, and calling is better than 3-betting. Postflop is ok, Villain probably thinks your handrange is weighted towards AK-AJ so he may be valuebetting AK. I'd also consider a...

river sexy after turn check/check HU
I think this is a standard river checkraise but just wanted to check. Party 10/20 6m, currently 5-handed, folded to TAGish button who openraises. Button has TAG stats but has made some plays that...

Re: Que\' Onda Guero (2 questions)
I like calling turn + river over raising turn; button is out so hand protection is not as important, you may get 3-bet when you have 5-7+ outs, so folding to the 3-bet is no good, but putting 3 bets...

Re: KQo with maniac on board
I'd lean towards 3-betting the turn/calling down a cap with your description/stats of MP3, he can play a strong K/hearts this way and you are obviously ahead of SB. I don't know if I can fold this...

Re: 99 vs. LAG
I don't like 3-betting here, as you will just get capped when behind and have to put more bets in to get to SD. I don't like folding either against this much of a LAG. I'd calldown, unless the...

What do you do if 3-bet though, as that will certainly happen here a decent % of the time.

BB in this hand is something like 40/30/2ish, so laggy but seems to read hands decent and have an idea of when to apply pressure/put on the brakes, at least from the several hands I've seen him play....

Re: Final hand. A fun one.
PF I think is good if the LAG is one of those random LAGs that will LRR all kinds of stuff here. You might get BB/Limper1 to fold (unlikely) but if not you likely have more than your fair share of...

Re: Turn checkraise in multiway pot when behind.
I really don't like this, you are nearly always behind button and he will likely just calldown w/his overpair/AT. The only better hand you might get UTG/MP to fold is a better T, but thats kind of...

Re: 99 in SB...4 to the flop...$3/$6
I probably 3-bet PF but calling isn't too bad, but mainly b/c of the advantage of facing the field w/two cold on favorable flops, of which this is a good example. I probably just call 88 and below...

I still cap this PF and lead flop, your stats are only through 40 hands and you are opening from a steal position, so I don't think Villain's range is as narrow as you may believe. If I got to the...
