Re: Monster from BB, only SB calls
Raise preflop every time. You could do this with a lot of hands plus what do you do if the flop is 338 and he bets. You going to call big bets all the way down thinking he has an 8? This is a...

Re: Psychology of the not-quite-minimum raise
I agree totally. The not-quite-min-raise is meant to keep people in the pot but somehow disguise a monster that is easily given away by a minraise. When someone minraises and it's not preflop, we...

Re: 100 NL - I\'m new to it...played it wrong?
Raise more preflop, bet the whole pot on the flop, if raised you know he's got something because from EP, if you are a respected player, there are only so many hands you can have here. I'm probably...

Re: Results

Well, I folded. Villain 1 called.
You can imagine my disgust when Villain 1 shows KK, and Villain 2 shows A5s for 2 pair. I was kicking myself for a long time after this one.
If I...

Re: Moving Up
If you want to be a good cash game player you have to learn to live with higher variances. Also, the game is fundamentally different as you try to basically play more or less the same the whole time...

Re: Ummmm...flopped a full house!?!?!?!
You're right. This is a high variance play, but that doesn't make it -EV. From the reads in this post, I think he's ahead, but you never know, I've seen donks minraise/limp with AA or KK plenty of...

Re: board shows nut straight, opponent all-in

Re: board shows nut straight, opponent all-in
By SB's line, I don't think he has the flush. Would he play Q /images/graemlins/club.gif T /images/graemlins/club.gif this way? Wouldn't he check the turn and fold to a big bet? Looks more like a...

Re: A high call, and extracting with quads - 100NL
Okay, I take it back, they won't fold, but the action will dry up big time without a flush or straight card, and even then they might think T9 and slow down.
I don't love your line, but the more I...

Re: Isolating a LAG.
If he slows down postflop, I check behind flop and see what turn is. If it's a A,K,or J I bet out, and if called check behind. Your line isn't terrible, it's just that it leaves the option of a big...

Re: Ummmm...flopped a full house!?!?!?!
I feel like in general the minraise in EP is usually the sign of a PP below TT. People make pretty standard raises most of the time with AA-TT. Anyone loose enough to minraise a PP in EP will put a...

Re: Standard AA EP. Best Line?
Push is okay. With a reraise and a caller, I'm happy with this pot and I think push ultimately is more +EV than another raise. NH.

Re: Is this ok?
I'm tight so I would only push with straight or flush, but I can see a lot of fold equity in pushing with a lower set if I think villian might have a bigger set.
I only call with A...

Re: Ummmm...flopped a full house!?!?!?!
I don't like raise because if the BB has a hand then I've lost more money. Also, I don't like raise because then if I get reraised by the UTG, now I have a tough decision. I guess if you are...

Re: A Qs-hand.
Call. Hands that beat you are AA, QQ, and x2. With a raise in there, and from what you are holding, almost no chance of QQ or AA. On flop I would worry about 22 calling here, but turn rules that...

Easy fold. Maybe he does not have a queen, but he most certainly has you drawing dead. The flop call is marginal IMO, depending on exactly how post-flop aggrssive he is. Would he lead into...

Re: Live $100 NL semi-deep stacks, KK hand
Raise the flop more. Your stack is going in. If he's crazy here you're undoubtedly going to be ahead plenty of times to make this profitable. Scary, but I think you have to call unless hes not...
