Re: I hit my flush and I\'m skeered
I don't think the people advocating folding the turn are playing in the same PP 2/4 games that I am. You only need roughly 15% equity to call one more bet on the turn and the river (if you improve)....

Re: Poll: when do you post up vs. wait for BB?
Maybe this will help define position advantage for posting.

Re: Poll: when do you post up vs. wait for BB?
I see people sit at a full ring game and not post at the CO when given a chance and wait for the BB to come around. These people either have poor math skills or want to watch a rotation to get a fill...

Re: Pot Equity
Pot doesn't matter in your example of only looking at PE.
$10 pot, HU. You have 40% equity.
1) You are checked to and bet $5, oppenent calls: pot=$20. Your share = $8. Net = $8-$5=$3
2)...

Re: Need help with effective odds
My take:
If you are certain the opponent will check/fold when you catch, you can't call the flop bet. You are getting odds for two cards, but not the one turn card.

Re: Pot Equity
If the ONE thing you are considering is pot equity, never bet heads-up unless you have greater than 50%. Obviously in real life there are a number of other factors to consider.

Re: blind stealing - random hands
Thanks, I would have bet any card in that position and wanted to make sure it wasn't a case of my over-agression coming into play.
Without a K on the turn, do you check the river UI?

If the turn is Qc instead of the Kc, what is your play?
What about an ace instead, or a heart (though this one seems easy), or any other card you want to mention?

Re: Interesting hand from someone else
Fold. Any PP takes this down. The call in front of hero probably means we are banking on no PP from P3 or P2 yet to act and hero's K outkicking P5. While not sound poker, the fact that someone...

Re: Overcard hands--how long do you play?

Re: shift of aggression
I think more aggression on the turn and river are in order here. This is a very uncordinated board. You are only behind a set. I think a lower two pair (A9, Q9) is much more likely from MP2 and CO...

Re: Two QQ hands
My thinking at the time was (given the pot size) I didn't want to marry an A (e.g. AK) or a K (e.g. KQ) to the hand to make them calling me to the river accidently correct.

Re: Two QQ hands
When I picked up the strong flush draw is when I decided to try one more aggressive move. Currently my AF might be a little too high and this hand really shows that I think.

Re: Slowplaying
The closest I get to "slowplaying" this hand is calling a 3-bet on the flop instead of capping to increase the chances of him helping me cap the turn.
