nfl,

Is the board have a 2 flush? Usually I would bet again. Evaulate the turn card, and how it fits the range of hands villain could have. Top pair is usually a good hand in this spot, and people will make thin flop calls with 22+, Tx, a straight draw etc.

First of all, i play NL 25 (6 max).

What kind of hands do u use to steal blinds in late position?

Someone raise to 3bb, u have QJo in position. U should call, right? Board has JXX. Your oponnets bets as usual, how do u act?

U raise with something like pocket AK preflop. 3 players in the pot, flop doesnt hit u, do u try to take it with a bet?
The players quantity matters?

I'm sure if I asked that, even though the answer is ridiculously obvious, Isura would pick 42_it just to spite me. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

AJ,

I'm assuming a 100bb freezeout best of 7.

PoBoy321 vs Grunch - Tough one. I give poboy a slight edge (53%?) because grunch is a little "too solid" for HU. This is pretty close though.

Orange vs Pokey - Pokey still has some weak-tight tendencies (6-max is hopefully curing him of that soon [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). Orange is a solid nl100 player from my experience, I give him a decent (say 60%) edge.

Ness vs Dustbustr - Dust seems more laggy, but Ness mixes his game up pretty well. This is a coinflip.

Edit: epdraws vs cbloom - I have no idea. epdraws always aksks good questions, and cbloom's advice is usually spot on.

[neverforgetlol]

not a 2 flush as i recall.. it just seems that whenever i get called they have trips.

pokerleet,

QJo vs a raise at NL25 is probably a fold. People are very passive preflop in this game, and QJo just doesn't have much going for it. You need to play hands that can make good showdown hands often (AK-AQ, TT+) or big speculative hands like PPs and SCs. Betting a whiffed AK against 2+ opponents is usually a mistake at these stakes, check/fold is the usual play.

Isura,

When's this going to happen? Are you going to sweeten the prize pool or offer bounties?

nfl,

Try betting 2/3-3-4 pot sometimes. You can retain some value against weaker tens are draws this way, so you aren't always getting called by better hands. But it seems like you might just be running bad, because when I see T99 with AT, I'm confident I have the best hand against 1-2 players.
