Re: The 3rd Guy Appreciation Thread
I don't know if this hand strictly meets the criteria, but it sure was fun.

Did I really call this river?
Villain in this hand was loose (VPIP > 70) and had raised from EP with A8o in a previous hand.

Re: pocket 7\'s on loose table
If you think there will be 5-6 people calling the raise, then the initial call is ok. After it's capped, you're getting over 8-1 even if MP3 and Button fold, so a call is fine.

Man, I don't know. I'm trying to think what hand SB would have to raise PF, bet out on that flop, and then call two bets back to him and lead out again on the turn. The only thing I can think of is...

Re: Set of 9\'s - Crazy Action - What To Do?
I would put UTG+1 on 2 pair or a flush or straight draw. A higher set is possible, but unlikely. What would worry me is the CO coming alive on the turn.
When it's 2 bets coming back to you on...

Re: Kicking myself after this one
No, I thought the chance that I was behind to a better ace was small enough that I would make money by being aggressive. What I was mostly afraid of were the flush and straight draws. With that...

Kicking myself after this one
Can I bet this river for value? When the third diamond hit, I went into check and call mode.
The table here was pretty bad, even by Party standards. They had been calling all the way to the...

No, you heard correctly. It could have been worse though. He could have called Sentil the "Vijay Singh of Poker".

Did I have any business calling these down?
Both hands from a typical UB .5/1 table: semi-loose (35-40% see the flop) and semi-aggressive.

Re: Identifying Leaks in My Game
I'm not a shorthanded player, but I'll offer you my free observations (worth every penny).
It seems to me that you're playing way too tight for 6 handed. A VPIP of 16.7% and a PFR of 7.2% is...

In addition to the hands you listed, I was also afraid he had K7, K6, or K4 for the boat. Since there was no raise preflop, I think these holdings are a possibility. Like you said, I thought that...

On hand 2, I was concerned about him betting into me after I capped. I see now that was too weak. I guess I'm just too attuned to the passive play at these limits and put too much faith in...
