Re: Last Bump to answer StellarWind...

I find similar results to Stellar, Maxx.

Specifically you Check AND Call a lot more than me, and Bet a lot less too. Just like Stellar mentioned.
Oh and it's on the Turn your Bet/Call numbers are...

Re: Overcards getting bombed

I think checkraising the Turn is an excellent move.
The Q is damn near perfect for you to checkraise after the flop action, whereas if the Turn was an A I would have to bet out. (If you had AK a...

Re: When the Hell did I start playing scared?

The intention of checkraising the Turn here was fine. However I don't think you can begin to let the CO's raise scare you into following through on that plan. Especially as, because of his position,...

Re: The worst error I\'ve ever made in Poker...

Buster, I get what you want - input on how a hand should be played from other people, so you can learn - but really, if that's all you want ask whoever it is *after* the hand.

Re: Commission Coach Hand # 8 Review

2+2'er raised and capped from the SB. Surely we're putting him on a very strong hand? AK/AKs, AA/KK/QQ/JJ?
I really don't see a cap with AQ.

So most likely is a big PP, or another AK. Against a...

Klud atm that is my general tendency.

I like checking if:
I wouldn't be sure that he wasn't raising a worse hand, so I couldn't fold the river.

Re: KK in BB

Well, he's representing AQ pretty clearly.

As for the decision here you can't beat much but a bluff. He's representing a hand that clearly beats you, even if it's as little as AK.

Re: JJ - Party 15/30

It's a while since I've played in the game, but my first instinct is to check here.

It's not even just if they have a 6 of course, a King is good enough.

Based on the flop bet you could put the...

Re: I like the BEARS in the TURKEY bowl

Krenzel's still the starter as confirmed by Lovie after the loss.

That makes betting on the game a major problem imo. You are basically putting it in *one* mans inept hands.

Although the Bears Run D decided they needed to give the game up, like they'd done pre-winning streak. James gashed them for a 200 yard game on low 20's carries. Horrid.
