Re: QQ hand.
Fold and wait for a better spot.
If MP has a K, you only have two outs to keep you from the exit. Even if MP does not have the goods, BB is still in the hand and could very well be playing for a...

Re: Final Table question
Easy call. You're getting 3:2 odds with only 2 hands that you're afraid of. It's more likely he's pushing with 99-JJ,AK or AQ.

Re: TT first hand
I also think that the open raise was a little excessive. It telegraphs your middle pair (to an observant solid player) and makes it more expensive to defend post flop with a vulnerable hand.

Re: An applied pobability theory problem
Easy answer. You are beaten more often in scenario #1. There are 5 limpers (including you and the button?) The first 3 fold after button bets. They obviously do not have a J. so there are 2 out of 41...

Re: AK in hand, KQJ on board, reraised all-in
[ QUOTE ]
the only way you have 10 outs is if he has QJ. If he has KQ or KJ, you only have 7 outs(3 aces and 4 tens). Also, if I had 9T I might play my hand like this. I don't want to have a T...

Re: AK in hand, KQJ on board, reraised all-in
You're likely up against KQ or possibly KJ, JQ. A made straight most likely would not have pushed. (Actually the caller is more likely to have AT than the pusher).
What are the other stack sizes?...

Re: Anyone lay down this QQ?
Let's assume a 60% chance of AA or KK, 20% chance of AK and 20% chance of JJ or less (including total bluff). Any objections to these assumptions? So you're chance of winning is (.60 x .18) + (.20 x...

Re: Anyone lay down this QQ?
I hardly ever see this play with JJ or less. He might be holding AK but much more likely to have AA, KK. Since you don't have pot odds to try to catch a Q on the board, I think you should lay it down...

Re: Early in MTT tourney with AK
The weights based on number of ways a hand could be made are as follows: AA-1, AK-6, AQ-8, KK-6, KQ-16, AJ-6, AT-6, QQ-6, JJ-3, TT-3.
Now for some subjective guesses. Tell me if I'm way off. I...

Re: Early in MTT tourney with AK
I did an analysis where I started with any likely hand he may hold (AA-TT,AK-AT,KQ), and weighted them based on statistical occurrence, likelihood that he would reraise preflop, and likelihood that...

After the first few rounds of any tourney, steals become extremely important to your success. With a big stack, I'm stealing with almost anything from the right spots (MP-LP with a tight-weak BB), as...

This is one of those hands that is very difficult to play out of position. You are most likely up against top pair or a draw and somewhat less likely to be up against a made str8. Also consider that...

Re: 2 pair on coordinated board.....
Given the coordinated board, I'd be happy to take it down right here. I'd make a pot-sized bet to price out the draws. I'd be very wary if I got any callers.

Re: Really beating myself up (Qx suited????)
One important point that did not get mentioned (or I missed) is that with 5 left, on the bubble, a steal is likely from any position. It's very possible that A4o is the best hand.
