5/10 live turn decision, maybe boring
live 5/10 NLH; we were short-handed for an hour and I was lagging it up big-time, winning almost half the pots (most players in this game only know how to play full); we've been full for half an hour...

tricky multiway flop decision (live 5/10 NL)
The players:
SB (3k) is a very tough, loose-aggressive player. He's a good hand-reader and quite tricky.
MP (1.5k) is a bad LAG. He got stacked on a bad-beat about 5 hands earlier, so I...

Re: flopped the nuts with deep money (5/10 NL)
in general I agree, but I think there are a few factors here that making calling okay:
1) villain has demonstrated the ability to limp-reraise bluff
2) even against AA/KK hero probably has odds...

AK in three-handed 5/10 NL (live)
home-game
Button raises to 35 (he opens about 60% of the hands for this amount). I pop it to 125 in the SB with AKo, which I've done twice before tonight. Once I showed JJ after they both...

I pushed; TAG folded (said later he had AT), and LC called flipping up a bizarrely played AA; I missed.
Thanks for all the responses guys.

flop decision, 5/10 NL
5 limpers and SB completes, which is standard for this game, and I rap in the BB with 97 of spades
the flop comes Ts6s5x; I lead 50, a tight-aggressive (TAG) min-raises to 100, a loose canon (LC)...

Re: Set vs. flush draw
I think the turn laydown is probably a mistake, although not a big one
it's 600 to you with 1675 in the pot, so you need to win 26.4% of the time for a call to be correct; here's your odds against...

max-pot size?
yeah, this entry in Negreanu's poker blog (link below) mentions a 4k/8k (limit) game with 100k capped pots... that just seems weird to me, especially capping the pot at only 12.5 big bets, given how...
