Also, guys in the 4, 5, and 6 seats, when competing against somebody else in one of those seats, feel a bit less concerned about tells because most players in those seats don't make an effort to look to the side to see what other players are doing (except preflop). Especially shorthanded since there's no audience watching them.

BK - it's impossible he'd be that close to folding 38 or 48 on that flop, so his best possible hand is K8, right?
What's wrong with 3-betting here, when most likely he's on a draw/bluff.

"I would have checkraised the turn."

i like the idea of check-calling and letting him bet. although maybe he catches up, he spews two bets every time as well so you make like 1.5 bets instead of just the one. plus you never end up w/ a misread situation where youre spewing and he's paired and showdown bound. you read me?

But he might drop 77 or something if you checkraise the turn. Perhaps, that's why El D suggests the turn checkraise although I probably just checkcall like you did for the reasons you gave.

no as in standard. this what live play is all about imo. you get a read you stick with it and you make a great play. i love live poker so very much.

last night i had J8 in the sb. some kid in the c/o openlimped, i called, bb (justin) checked. the flop came AKQ. we all checked. that meant that the c/o had none of that. the turn is a 2. i check, justin checks meaning he has none of it, kid bets. i call him down.

these sorts of hands come up frequently in live poker.

I don't see what this hand has to do with live vs online poker. I've made that calldown online plenty of times too.

It is true... people just try to give away their money in that game. I thought it was a fishing tale when a good friend told me that after returning from Canterbury in September. Guess not--definitely going to have to come visit!

it's not that you cant have reads online, but live play is so full of reads available to the best observant players that it's a significantly different animal.
