50-100 - Is having a third nut good?

Worth considering why your results dont match the rankings.

Maybe you dont release TT and JJ as easily as you release 99 when beat.

Also could be that you raise less with 99 and in the games you play it may be better to raise less with TT as well.

PREFLOP:

Raising is what you will usually be doing. If the game is very loose you might limp occasionally. Gamblor is wrong if he thinks raising preflop gives you the worst of it. Ulysses' comment was funny. Gamblor, you seem to think a lot about poker but I would caution you about drawing conclusions too readily. Just because something seems to make sense at first think-through doesn't necessarily mean it is so.


POSTFLOP:

Call to the River; if you haven't made the flush by the River, call (or just maybe lay it down against a very predictable easily-read opponent). If you hit the flush on the Turn probably check and call since your opponent will probably lead anyway and you still get the money in, but you don't scare him out prematurely by betting (he might get off a pair if you bet the 4-flush board on the Turn, since at that point he can still save two big bets). Having the flush on the River, probably bet regardless as there are only 2 diamonds to beat you and you need to get the value bet in since he very well might stop betting there, simply hoping his hand is good. Also, since you only called the Turn you sow a bit of doubt in his mind with the River stop-and-go which helps your chances of getting called. The point is that if he was on air most players will stop betting at the river with that scary a board, so you aren't risking losing the chance to induce a bluff on the river (holding the flush). If you get raised on the River, well, hold'em sucks sometimes;-)\

I caution you against saying something this controversial on these boards.

errr, make that "Vehn's comment was funny".
