Re: Interesting two pair hand.
Preflop is a fold but flop and river are perfect. Turn is the interesting street to me. Can you really fold to a raise? Depends on the texture of the game but many people like to semibluff with 2...

Re: 10/20 Q9o preflop
So you had the opportunity to get involved on the button in a pot with 1 single MP limping fish and these guys are telling you to fold? I prefer to raise to hopefully get HU in position against a bad...

So, aside from the flop lead, I think Villain's play is all right.

My hand
Of course I had AdJd and mhing. I always 3-bet PF AJs here since too many people in my games seem to think 6-max means raise any Axo UTG.
As for the flop, of course I was autobetting and I was...

Re: 88 Out of Position
So then is it ever the right line? Do they usually fold big bet streets when a flush card or Bway card comes? How about a 9?

Re: 2 RIVER CHECKRAISES.
Most people who cap here with hands like KJo mess this up cuz they never cap with AA/KK. This play works great for Flawless cuz he does.

Re: I KNOW it\'s the Devil\'s Hand......
I vote call the flop. Bet out on K turn or c/r J turn, otherwise check and call. River depends heavily on opponent and how he thinks of you. Suffice to say that if he checks turn, a bet/fold line on...

Re: 30/60 with some CDC sweat
I like your passive play on flop+turn here. On the river, I think a check/call is still the prudent thing to do.
If fish is getting out of line with some random PP or even AK (which is what many...

Re: 15/30 Live

"I found myself a super juicy game."
On the flop, I don't see why you aren't 3-betting. With such a vulnerable hand and a nice pot,...

Re: What about this play....
Why would BB check top 2 on the river after hero has (apparently) given up and UTG is a fish and has done nothing but call? I think this hand was played weird on every street (except maybe the turn).
