Greg\'s Digest
 

OK, so I will analyze the hands in this thread. I am going to do this for the first day, but in the future I would hope some mod will PM me 3 threads which seem to be generating discussion. For now, I am browsing the front page, and I will try to find interesting hands to me.


The first hand is from this thread with aislephive: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...0&fpart=all . I am picking this hand because I scrolled through some replied and they were all different. OK, now I'm going to look at it.

Preflop is fine/standard. Flop is standard. Turn is good. The river looks like a clear bet to me. The villain has just called, called, and called. There is no reason to think you are behind to something like a full house, and any spade is calling you. I think a nice hefty bet here, of about 66-72 is good. You can fold to a raise, but I'm not sure that you will ever be raised by the nut flush even. The chances of you having a full house is much greater, and your opponent knows this (maybe?)

Additionally, a way to improve this post, instead of just listing 33/8, is to say your reads. How has the opponent been playing, in terms of aggression, etc. How have you been playing? Is he smart enough to know this? Over how many hands? These things will help give others a better idea of the table dynamics, which is critical to making the correct decision.

OK, that will be a sample for me. I am going out drinking right now, let me know what you think, and what can be added.

I'm not a fan of this analysis at all.

this isn't true like 90% of the time. this is BvB no?

I also think this is a good time for a "value check". I doubt villain is looking you up with ace/two pair/set here very often. I only see him calling with a random club, and that isn't very likely. Checking, however, gives the impression that you hated that 4 flush and gives the villain an opportunity to try to steal the pot. You also lose about the same amount if you were to b/f.

This obviously changes if the player is always a station.

I'd rather have ikestoys than greg give the analysis on these hands.

and regardless, just post in the thread, you're not good enough/special enough to think you can do something like this. find high school girls if you need your existence justified.

I think this could be a cool thread idea, and you have enough skins on the wall I guess, but I do think you should at least paste the hand into this thread if you're gonna do this.

Having to click a link, read a whole thread, then switch back over to this thread just to read what you think is kinda annoying.

I agree with your analysis and also think this is a clear bet.
