Re: JJ overpair facing large river bet
River smells like a missed flush draw to me, but without a read it's really difficult for me to call here. (Although in reality I might have donk-called and gone on mad tilt if he showed a slow...

I made a deposit today directly into PokerStars via an All-Access gift card. Very easy, highly recommended. YMMV.

JJ on \"safe\" flop
I just moved up to NL$25 last night. There are definitely fewer fish, and any move in stakes can take some adjustment. Bare with me -- I am sure I'll need lots of advice for a while...

Re: 72s flops 2-pair
So basically you are saying that at a loose-passive table you are playing any two cards?

Re: River raise g00t???
I like everything. Your curiousity about the turn makes it sound like you were beat by the backdoor flush. Sucks, but I think that's an acceptable risk for pot control. If you had two...

Re: How to handle this river.
Are those advocating a river check/call calling a push? In poker betting is almost always better than calling; if it's the opposite here I think some explanation is in order.

Re: How to handle this river.
Pricing myself into a draw on the turn is something I do once and a while. The problem is that if you do make your flush, it is totally obvious and villain is not paying you off on the river. I think...

Re: 10 $ nl overpair and I fold.
IMO you totally over-estimated villain here. I would bet money that you folded to two overcards. Preflop and flop is fine; as played, I reraise turn to $2.50. If he comes over the top then you can...

Re: 25NL - Set Attack!!
What hand reraises the turn that you beat? 66, maybe A/images/graemlins/heart.gif draw. Call his first turn raise. If the river is a /images/graemlins/heart.gif, c/f to any serious bet. If the river...

Wow that turn really does suck against someone with a 70 VP$IP. I like checking behind on the turn. Does this guy chase flush draws a lot postflop? Most 70/0 donks do. If so, I also hate giving the...

Re: how badly exactly did I play this?
I think that if hero is going to cbet here, he should cbet for a bit more. However, how often is cbetting into a 4-way flop a safe move at NL$10? It is rare to take down the pot immediately in this...

Re: NL5, Top+Bot 2-pair crazy action
I can't blame you for defending your blind preflop since it is the maniac that is minraising, even though I fold K9 UTG. Oh well. I actually would reraise SB on the flop the first time the action...

Re: JJ - Good slowplay gone bad?
Isura, how much are you betting on the river? I usually go for about 1/2 to 3/4, depending on the villain.
On this flop I usually bet something relatively small, to build a pot and give villain a...

Re: Sooted Connectors
# of players?
Stack sizes?
Stakes?
Table conditions (passive/aggrssive)?
I think low-middle 1-gappers and unsuited connectors are trash except in extrordinary circumstances.
