Re: AJo on BB, raised pot, miss flop
*grunching*
I would fold this pre-flop. AJ is not a good hand against 5 oppponents, especially if one has raised. You seriously risk domination, and/or getting beat by a big hand.

Re: Great HU hand for discussion
I would check the turn, hoping that Villain will call a river bet.
Here is my thinking:
This is a WA/WB situation in which you are probably WA. If he has an A or K, you are screwed, but if...

Re: 1/2 Fulltable (Hot Pursuit)
The flop raise is only for value if you have a better than 50% of winning the hand, since you are probably going to be knocking out SB and therefore contributing 50% of the money. Given the pre-flop...

Re: KQ early position

Hero shouldn't be worried about extracting additional bets and keeping everyone around - he should be worried about winning the hand. A king...

Re: Aggressive or just stupid?

Re: help with 109s...do I raise?
My first thought was to raise the turn to protect your hand, but now that I think about what MP2 might have, I think a call is better.
If he has a spade, a 9, or KQ, he isn't going to fold to...

The point of isolating is to get a loose player, who could have a wide range of hands, heads...

If he caps it's a different story. You cannot fire away indiscriminately and hope he goes away. And the chances become much higher that he has a high pocket pair rather than overcards (unless he'd...

Re: 99 in BB...anybody making this call PF?
Villain is more likely to have 2 overcards than a higher pocket pair. An unfavorable flop (for him) leaves him with as few as 6 outs. If you 3-bet pre-flop and lead out the flop and turn, he will...

Re: what did my opponent have?
This is obviously just a guess, but I imagine BB has either A7 or a middle pocket pair (maybe 66). He probably figured that the Pre-Flop Raiser had overcards (which looks about right) and was hoping...

I don't think Q5o is strong enough to get involved with pre-flop. You are an underdog to a random hand, so even if SB is raising with trash, his trash could easily beat your trash. There was an...
