Re: 99 overpair vs. a 3-bet

Anyone capping this preflop? Not me.

Anyone not raise this flop? Raise looks good.

I assume the turn bet is automatic (and ps., I'm probably folding to a turn CR - hope that's not a big...

Re: KK, wise or insane laydown?

I agree with jba that you must raise the flop. This in turn will make the hand easier to play I think. If after raising the flop, both opps call, and the turn action goes bet, raise, a fold is much...

Re: Mildly common marginal situation

This is good advice. Some players bet into the pfr with top pair only, some with bottom pair or better, some with just flush draws/oesd, others with trash when they think you missed a ragged flop,...

Re: 3/6 TPGK What do I do when everyone calls on the flop?

Am I wrong for wanting to 3bet this flop? These guys could easily be calling with bottom or middle pair, gutshots, backdoor draws, an overcard, a worse Q, etc. If you're up against a gutshot (4...

Re: Sklansky and Miller and Effective Odds

In hold'em, effective odds are used on the flop when you know the odds to hit your hand by the river and will have to put in bets on both the flop and turn to see your draw all the way through.

Re: Is this retarded?

If you think you are behind and figure about 6-8 outs, calling the turn and folding the river here would be fine.

I play the hand the same way postflop. Preflop depends on button, but is perfectly...

Re: Value in a river bet? I\'m scarrred

You bet because people call with anything, Kx, Qx, 10x, 6x, Ax, 9 high, 22, 33, 44, 55, 77, 88, 99, etc.

Re: How often am I good here? (crying river call part 2)

The final pot will be 9.25BB, I think you should be good more than 10% of the time. I call and expect to lose.

Re: Bottom Pair with benefits, also let\'s play Guess-the-Hand

I'd feel better about hand 1 if there were 3 players and 1 check to me. I guess my play would depend on more specific reads.

Hand 2, I'm not so sure about the flop peel. You've got .5-1 outs for...

Re: QQ, too fancy?

If you think he'll fold to the turn raise, but call a river raise, I guess this works. In my experience a lot of the 1/2 6 max guys pay off turn raises because they always think you're pulling a move...

Re: 5/10 6m A8s against a 2+2er

That's a nice catch by both of you. I thought about it at the time, but wussed out before thinking it through.

Re: Please Help Me Fix My Game: It\'s Broke

Hey, I think I played at your table yesterday. I was the number 5 seat.

Re: TPGK Gets C/R\'d on Turn. Call it? Call River UI? (HE 1/2)

I've seen enough people do this with worse Aces, some kind of draw, 2 big cards (like QJ), or some pocket pair enough times to call this down unless I have a specific read that dictates otherwise.

Re: Do you peel here?

I would fold because your hand is vulnerable to redraws. If you make your 2 pair on the turn, it might be counterfeited on the river; also there may be diamond, straight, or higher 2 pair draws as...

Re: EV of a four-flush: effective odds intro counter argument

Ok, I worked this all out. Since I'm anal, I used the exact odds of 1.86 to 1 rather than 2 to 1.

To get that 1.86 to 1:

38/47 * 37/46 = .65
.65/(1-.65) = 1.86

Your effective odds are...

2 hands you will lose 1 and 1 hand you will gain 3.8333
