Re: taking a shot at 5/10 nl
let me guess. he had 2 clubs.
I don't understand how he pots for 120 on the turn when you made it 35 preflop and 50 on the flop. seems like there should be at least $185 out there.

WSOP Classic River Decision
Apparently during interviews after the WSOP, Fossilman questioned his own river play of the final hand. He apparently said something along the lines of "maybe I should have checked, because he can...

Re: Slowplaying a flopped boat - hand for review
you do not need to drive someone off of their 1-outer. sure, by not betting at all, you're giving them "infinite" odds to draw to an 8 (if that's what they have), but you're also increasing the...

Re: Slowplaying a flopped boat - hand for review
Easy call/raise.
Note that the more likely hand to have an 8 is the UTG, since presumably the button wouldn't want to drive you out of the hand by raising with the stones. There is a good chance...

Re: NL Hi/Lo Pot Odds Question
This is an easy call.
presume you "know" your opponent has JT... I think it's highly unlikely that he has JT23. (incidentally, I don't really like this presumption. I don't see why your opp...

With a bettor and 2 callers, I've seen better players than me lay down TT on that flop. I, however, would raise like you did.
That said, when your raise gets called in two places, I would go into...

Re: Why didnt you put me all in?
This play is generally "not allowed". At most places, the raise must be at least half of the bet to re-open the action (and in some places it must be at least the full bet).
If the card-room or...

Re: AA vs a LAG
So it's easy to get it all-in preflop with AA vs KK.
I still think you could play this hand more profitably.
When the SB makes a massive pot overbet like that, considering your stack sizes, I...

Re: Nice fat draw headsup.. but he\'s betting.
The problem on the flop is that you usually aren't getting very good implied odds, since he may have jack. If he's the type who will pay you off with nothing when a third diamond hits, then by all...

the AM is usually not going to bluff into a dry side-pot on the turn, and you don't want to give him odds to draw, so i'd raise the EP bet. you could be beat in one or more places, but the pot is...

This is one of the easiest river calls I have ever seen. Why do you check the river instead of betting it yourself? The only good answer is: To give the button an opportunity to bet an ace or...

Re: AKs NL hand at AJ\'s
I think you lose value by not betting the river. He will put you on a bluff or a monster after you've shown weakness on the turn, and will call with a wide range of hands. Checking is only correct...

Re: 100-200 Hand
The nature of this game is that practically every heads-up pot is 3-bet by anyone who plays, aside from the blinds.
For what it's worth, I think a 4-bet pre-flop was in order. And if raised on...

Re: AA decision
Your preflop raise is no good. From early position, you should either make it 30 to go, or limp (Actually, you should do some of both).
I think your play here depends on your stack size. There's...

100-200 Hand
So here's a 100-200 hand I "witnessed":
Let's say "a friend of mine" buys into the Pokerstars 100-200 game for $2k, just to test the waters.
In middle position, he open-raises with...

Re: 5-5 NLHE Hand to Ponder
Calling is the clear default play, and you need a heck of a read to do anything else. Against a typical player, you have nothing to gain by raising.
Also, a note on your note -- I'd beware of the...

Re: PLO8: Much low, little high
I also don't think you should have raised with this hand preflop. It's much stronger in limit, since you get a lot of equity from having uncounterfeitable lows and low draws. Good hands in pot...
