No way for villain to be holding K /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif or 77 or 99 here?

First, he may not open UTG w/ KQs since he is pretty tight....

Re: Not your traditional \"how to play AA\" post
OK, well I did consider this but I figured that there was a real decent chance that he would make some sort of bluff attempt on the turn if a non-spade hit OR he gets a free card with the K...

Re: Not your traditional \"how to play AA\" post
OK, so you say just call the turn. Why?
My feelings were that the odds that he holds AK w/o a spade and a K falls paled in comparison to the odds that he had some kind of big ace or over pair w/...

Re: 99 hand that gave me trouble
First consideration: If you are worried about overcards, you are actually taking the worst of it preflop since chances are that an overcard will flop. Folding 99 out of position is not a bad play...

Not your traditional \"how to play AA\" post
I was wondering what people thought about the best way to get the most chips out of Villian in this spot. I don't have any particularly strong reads, but Villian seems like a fairly solid TAG.

Re: Open limp on button, should I be concerned?
You should not be concerned - you call. You are getting huge odds of almost 4:1 on your call. Villian could easily have a second best hand. Perhaps he was sandbagging AA-QQ, maybe he has a 7 with...

This is not a coinflip, so call!
According to some, Hero should not call off his whole stack in this likely coin-flip situation. This is not a coinflip situation. True, Villian probably does not have AA or KK. However, his range...

Re: AA form BB, 3rd hand; too aggressive?
I think your RR is fine - I actually would be inclined to raise it up to 250-300, actually. Once Villian bumps it, I'm putting him squarely on a premium hand that he will not let go of. Just go all...

Re: Tournament Ruling: You make the call
No, that's not the problem. You either use the textualist interpretation or the public policy interpretation. It's not the place of the floor to predict what BB would have done, basing the ruling...

Re: Tournament Ruling: You make the call
It makes a huge difference. If you are to say that exposure results in a dead hand, then the pot is won by BB at the point when the cards are exposed. In the OP, SB put chips in after exposing his...

Re: Tournament Ruling: You make the call
In a purely textualist sense, I believe the hand is dead. I'm no expert, but I think the rule is that exposing your hand before acting will dead your hand. Clearly, saying "let's do it" is not...

How\'s this line?
I'm posting this hand because it's my basic strategy for strong TP or OP type hands in HU situations when I'm out of position. The goal is to make Villian make the most costly mistakes (i.e. maximum...

Re: TT, early in Tilt $11
I play these tourneys all the time, so here are some considerations to know:
1) Early on there is much limping with what I would consider trash from EP (like KJ or A9).
2) When being offered...

Re: Play a Foxwoods hand with me
I'm betting and folding to a raise.
Unless this flop hit someone REAL good, you are usually ahead. I would think AA,AK, and AQ would raise preflop. There are many players and we don't want to...

Preflop: Usually fold; you need a real good reason to play here and it's quite read dependant.
Flop: You have nothing, so why call? Usually fold, but you can raise on rare occasions if you...

This is an easy fold, to say the least. Villian is not moving in with something like KT. Villian has one of three holdings: An A with a better kicker; A flush; A boat. You cannot beat any of...

Re: Hand from FullTilt 10k last night...
I disagree with you 100%. First, we don't know that Villian does not have an A. He wants to protect against the flush draw PLUS Hero is presumably a very aggressive player. In this spot, I'm...
