Re: 99, draw heavy board
Weird spot, but I'd three bet the flop. Not to protect the hand, because nobody's folding, but I think it will give you a much better idea of where you stand headed into the expensive streets. Also,...

Re: The Doug Show
Tempting, but I check. 9 isn't the best card in the world. If the board paired or a low card came I'd fire again.

You've gotta step away, figure out what went wrong, and realize there are no easy fixes. Gotta claw your way back.

Re: 1-for-4?

Five to the flop for four bets and I have A8o.

Yeah, but your original plan was 4 to the flop for 3 bets each with A-8o, and that's not so great either.

Re: Bet-bet-bet. Oops. Eh, threebet.
I understand the thinking behind the river three bet, because anything other than a 9 or 7 is folding. Having said that, I must say, you sprayed a LOT of chips on a hand I would have mucked preflop,...

Re: Blind Steal vs. a calling station
Is this the type of calling station who peels flops but gives up on turns? Does he ever give up on the river?

Re: It\'s Another Tequila Sunrise
I call, but I showdown too much.
Having said that, it's kind of a crazy flop to donk with only a draw, since the flop probably hit you nicely. If he flopped a flush he could donk it.

Re: second pair, board begs for call

I would have played the hand exactly the same way, but it sure doesn't feel good. I guess that is what happens when you play a baby pair out of position.

He anticipates that you're calling down, so he's going to play nearly perfectly against you if you do. So to thwart this, you have to do something different than call down.

With up to 15 outs I 3 bet. If he caps, you can figure you probably need a heart.
