Re: Playing 234 or 235?

Another point about flush draws with 23 hands: I would prefer my flush draw to involve the A from the board. Otherwise, it is more likely (at lower limits, at least) that the nut flush draw will come...

Re: Playing 234 or 235?

In PL, if I have a 234x hand, I don't want the action TOO multiway, because most people need an A to play their hand, and too many players may mean my As are dead. This makes it easier to muck...

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

Ok, I'm with you. However, do you worry whether it will get to be heads up or not, though? Does this factor in? For example, if you check and it gets check around to LP and you get a bet with you...

Why not HU? Because there is no chance of dead money and you don't have as good a chance of getting highly favorable pot odds?

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

ok I am starting to back off my earlier example -- I see your point. However, your point about heads up brings up another issue. If it is 6-way on the flop, and suppose you check-raise and get the...

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

I addressed this later, but if you want to head to ALLCAPS, then that's fine. Personally, i'd rather commit a small amount of chips on the flop until I see the turn, with a large field of callers....

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

What I forgot to mention in those examples is yes, you might be getting odds on your money, but if you like to push a lot on a coin flip, fine, but I like to wait for higher edges. For example, if a...

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

What I am worried about here is schooling, where the outs of the other fish collude to outdraw me. Keep in mind I am talking about just having top set with a one way hand.

Re: Resident Experts

What are you talking about dude? According to Greenstein, you're still a mid-limit player. You can answer those high limit questions when your "big win" days are > $30k.

Re: Don\'t worry about smart play, just pot bet the best hand, they cal

two points:

1) It is well-known that tricky play doesn't pay off against donks.

2) If you are trying to say that a CR on the flop is the right play with top set HU, yes, of course. With a field...

10% is pretty high for full ring. With this %, I think you'll be raising some pretty marginal hands, and some good ones out of position. In EP, i'll just limp with some quality hands, hope for a late...
