Re: 1/2 nl live TT preflop UTG
There is no way a "thinking" player at $1/2 NL is re-raising the UTG pre-flop raiser without AK, AA, KK, or QQ, simply because like you said there were a few other callers in the hand. You are beat...

Re: TPTK heavily reraised
This is $10NL. Villain can have a wide range of hands here. I doubt he has QQ-AA because he only smooth called pre-flop. So that leaves AQ, KQ, QJ, 88, 55. You crush 3 of these, three of these...

Re: NL50 Too eager with AA?
You are either way ahead or way behind here. If you push now, you win the minimum possible and lose the maximum possible. Let's say, for example, Villain has AKo. Although it would be hard to put...

Re: Flopped set, solid villain
If the Villain is truly a solid player, push here and he's gotta be one hell of a player to lay down his AK. He may have hit a set of AA or KK but you're screwed then anyway.

Re: AQs CO - vs huge raise PF
You like the odds if he has KK? Man, why don't you take AQs, and I take KK, and we'll deal 100 hands at $50 a pop. You realize you are only 32% to win this hand if he has KK of a different suit,...

Re: AQs - count your outs?
Considering the amount of times a typical $50NL villain will call off his stack with a pair of jacks or KK, I'd say you'd make money off this in the long term by getting all the money in the middle...

Re: continuationbet... no good?
I don't mind his raise in the CO in the first hand, but I don't like it in the second when it's not suited and he's in the CO. Also, you said KJ is ahead of most villains. This is true. However,...

Re: continuationbet... no good?
Super weak tight, eh? Well, upon running a few thousand hands through poker tracker, I found one of my biggest leaks was broadway cards: KQ, KJ, QJ, etc. A lot of people overplay these cards, and...

Re: AA - Paired board on river!
Since the board is a little scary with the KQ, I would check behind and call a river bet. Reason being is when you bet the turn, only better hands are going to call you. On the river, someone might...

Re: continuationbet... no good?
Don't raise KJ unless you are the first in in late position. In both hands UTG limped in, you shouldn't be raising this hand as the only hands that will call your PFR are hands that have you beat...

Re: 50NL 6max: SB JJ to raise and minreraise
What are the reads on the two villains? If I just sat down at a table and see a raise and re-raise pre-flop, I muck JJ from the blinds. I might then find out that the two players are donks with AJ...

Re: AQs - count your outs?
Min raise for information? That'd donkish. A min raise doesn't tell you anything.
Granted, there isn't really a read here, but merely from statistical analysis, he's going to have one pair the...

Re: AQs - count your outs?
You think he's betting out with a set of jacks here? I don't. I think he's got one pair, it's just a question of which one pair. The $60 bet is to either A) make him fold his AJ, KJ, QQ-AA and B)...

Re: AQs - count your outs?
Raise to $60...if he pushes, call, if not then it's all going in on the turn no matter what falls. The worst he probably has is AJ or an over-pair, and the only way you have less than 12 outs...

I think the idea there is that a lot of people cannot lay down AA or KK after the flop, no matter what. Compound that with the fact that it's VERY difficult to tell if someone has a set, and here's...

You played this hand ass-backwards.
On the flop you have the best hand. An aggressive player might be betting their flush draw (although not likely at this limit. The raise tells me he has some...
