the ice in the Jasper hockey rink/community center is perhaps the best ice ever, but wtf is up with the elk strolling around town? Cool place to grow up imo.

I understand the leak you described - I think - but if you (skier) would give an example that would be great.

Nice well.

Can you discuss the flop/check-raise? I'm having a hard time finding boards to make this move as a bluff.

p.s.
Hopefully the weather is better in Praha, you didn't miss much in Amsterdam, late fall isn't the time to see Europe.

not sure quite how much i wanna discuss this, but i'll talk about it a bit i guess.

Against thinking opponents you should really be trying to do it on boards that hit your range. At lower stakes, as long as you don't overdo it (and maybe even then) people will probably just fold if they dont have a pretty good hand. so you might want to consider c/r bluffing boards that it's difficult to continue on/or hit a hand. especially ones that they might cbet like every time with their whole range. Also, backdoor draws, gutshots, overcards, etc help a lot as well.

It's pretty opponent dependent, but things like when that nit, or even TAG raises you and you have top pair, you can just fold. sure he migggght be bluffing, but usually he isn't. Ask yourself if this really is +EV.

I mean you can't just be a complete nit, but against a lot of people you have to be. Just be willing to give people credit unless they make a habit of it.

For different lines you have to make some assumptions, but I would assume there are 3 here.
1) shove
2) 3bet small
3) call and get it in on the turn


[/ QUOTE ]

so we are getting it in on brick turns as far as #3 goes. 1 is pretty self explanatory, but what about 2, whats the purpose of 2 and do we obviously call a shove at this point?
