Re: semi bluff out of position??
If they're your typical passives on 3/6, they're probably going to have hit something in this flop. I'd probably check and hope for a free card. Check/calling doesn't really work because the pot is...

Re: Rest of Flop and Turn

I think you have to consider the 7 as a fairly safe turn card and I'd consider it a pretty large mistake not raising this turn.
EDIT: I'd consider it a GIGANTIC mistake not to raise...

Re: two bleh hands from my day.
In hand 1, why do people like a turn raise so much more than a flop raise? Are the players in the hand capable of folding a jack on the turn to your raise?

Re: Adjusting my play -- PP 2/4 to AC live 4/8
I second the point about passive play. It's so easy to get good reads on most of the players. There are people who will never bet/raise and then suddenly wake up when a red 2 falls on a black board...

Re: AA v KQx flop with aggressive raising.
Play here is all read dependent.
If the quiet old lady who hasn't raised once in two hours raises you, you're probably done. If it's the guy who raises pretty much any 2 cards, call down. Even...

Re: AKo hand
Without some kind of read against a field this size, I will generally check the flop if checked to, or raise if one of the blinds bets to clear up a few outs in a large pot. If I don't improve on...

Re: pretty simple question
Unless you have some definite read on the guy that he'll frequently fold the turn, I'd check behind here too. There's a lot on this board that his action so far indicates that he could have hit. ...

Re: Bet A high on the river
You have to include the likely draws for us to make a reasonable decision. If the board is K72 rainbow, then he's probably not on a draw. If it's 78T, 2 hearts, he could much more easily be on a...

Re: Grand Tournament V
I didn't like that either...he lost well over 1 million chips. Seems like you could either stall or just fold every other hand to keep it even until he got back.

Re: 20k break-even, time for a checkup
Ok, I misunderstood your post about 6-max. I think you can definitely get away with playing some slightly more marginal hands at 2/4 though. I think some more experience learning to play the...

Re: 20k break-even, time for a checkup
If almost 30% of your hands in this sample are at 6-max, you're probably playing too tight in a full ring (by your VPIP). Many people think 15.5% VPIP is too tight even for a full ring.

Re: 3/6 1010, unsure on all streets
I agree with the 3-bet preflop...why would you want to end up with 2 or 3 opponents instead of making it heads-up if you can?
I don't know if I can call this river. I like bet/folding the turn...

Re: 88 preflop question
You're already getting 10:2 to call the cap. If you're 7.5 to 1 against flopping a set, then why do you need to make up 5 big bets postflop?
You're in position, and you'll easily be able to make...

Re: Raising Preflop
I've just been skimming some of these posts, but you said, "1) 95% of the time, if a player folds, you actually wanted him to call."
This simply isn't true.
Isn't all of this a Fundamental...

Agreed. I'd expect him to either fold or show a low pp or an 8. I think you'd have heard from him on the turn with an ace or a 9.
