Re: Professional No-Limit Holdem SSNL Discussion

I'm not saying it wouldn't be a mistake. After all, if your opponent only shoved with a hand that beat AA and folded otherwise, you would help him cut his losses by calling his all-in bet, reducing...

Re: Professional No-Limit Holdem SSNL Discussion

IMO, an easy way to manipulate SPR with your good hands is to open with a wider range. For instance, let's say you wanted to get 10% of your stack in preflop(100bb stacks) with AA. A 10bb raise might...

Re: Can the PF worth of a starting hand be calculated?

Can you really call it a shove if it's only six more chips?

Re: just a question...

At the right table I will, but since raising the OOP poster looks like a steal attempt, I prefer to have a hand when I raise.

Re: bet sizes to maximize profits, and minimize losses (intresting)

I find one of the more important factors in maximizing profit/minimizing loss is the number of bets/raises made in a hand.

Re: Stack-To-Pot Ratios: Introduction

One thing most people haven't considered is how wider ranges can allow you to make a smaller raise with a hand like KK while still denying your opponent the needed implied odds. I'm sure the authors...

Re: Bluffing frequency

It's not important to make big moves without a hand, but learning to it well can improve your overall profit.

At 100NL, it depends on who's at your table. If it's a stronger player, you should...

Re: Raise 3.5*bb or 4*bb PF in cash games

[ QUOTE ]

Because when I think about it I think that raising 4*bb is more +EV, since you will get a bigger pot on the flop when you take it down with a Con. bet and it will be easier to make a pot...

Re: Sklansky-Chubukov numbers attacked

Sklansky states in his book that the S-C number for the "robust" hands (like suited connectors) should be higher because a hand like J2o probably won't call when you shove with 87s. He doesn't change...

Re: What are you doing VS. these players PRE FLOP and on the flop

(A) Value bet more, bluff less. Try to sit on his left and isolate with strong hands.

(B) Preflop, call lighter in position, tighten up OOP. Postflop, it depends on how your opponent reacts to...

Raising the same amount every hand is fine, but it doesn't have to be 3x for every table you encounter. If I was sitting in the game you described, I would raise fewer hands and start with a larger...

Re: PF equity: how much can we give up, how much do we need.

The two most important things to consider are your implied odds and your chances of winning w/o showdown. Both of these are dependent on a number of variables.

Otherwise, you should never take...

Re: 3 betting with dominated type hands

If I'm 3-betting with these hands against this player, it is because I am playing the situation instead of my cards. I'd want enough fold equity to make 3-betting and leading the flop if called...

Re: help me float......

A player who bets the flop and check-folds the turn too often would be an ideal candidate.

Since you should usually have some sort of out when floating, you are looking to either hit your draw or...

You should raise enough to accomplish whatever it is you set out to accomplish.

Re: NL $25, AKs in BB. Can I save any $$ here?

I was really just asking about your thought process. You say you raise with AK to represent a big pair and get a fold, so what do you do with a big pair(since you don't want a fold)?

Re: River c/r with air

Who's hand? The OP's or the villain's? If the OP c/r here with AQ and KQ, it's an easy call for villain with any king. He's getting nearly 3:1.

Re: NL $25, AKs in BB. Can I save any $$ here?

So you'd raise with AK to represent a big pair and induce a fold from a smaller pair, but call with AA to represent AK/float and allow overcards to kill your action against a smaller pair?

Re: I\'ve stopped reraising 3-betting with AK

I don't see anything wrong with it. Against loose-passive players, you could 3-bet... wait, they don't raise. Against LAGs, why discourage them from firing multiple shells into TPTK?

I usually...

Re: NL $25, AKs in BB. Can I save any $$ here?

Check the turn. You don't fold out better hands and you more than likely won't get AQ or worse to call. Your opponent will be more inclined to bluff the river when you check, but I can't see your...

Re: River c/r with air

Spew. Even against an unknown, I'll call a c/r like this because the whole line just smells like FPS. I just don't see many strong hands that you could use this line with.

Re: 100NL Set on dry board - Bet sizing

I like waiting to raise on the turn occasionally, especially on such a dry board. If you always raise the flop with big hands, you will encourage your opponent to play much better when you just call...
