Re: Should I protect this small flush draw?

I don't think a higher flush draw is folding, but a LAG may even be raising with A high. In that case, I could be buying myself 6 additional outs.

The general principal from SSHE I was trying to...

Should I protect this small flush draw?

Live, 8-handed, 8/16 table. The cutoff plays loose and fairly aggressive pre-flop and flop but is loose/passive on the turn and river. I'm in the highjack with 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif6...

Re: When Your Opponents Are Passive With Top Pair Hands

I would think this makes the raise even more correct. This pot is big enough to fight for (9 SB's), and I'm assuming the players who would check QJ or QT could fold rather than call 2 cold. Even if...

Any chance the opponent flashed his cards to the other side of the table and the dealer was just letting the OP know what they were under 'show one, show all'?

Dealer Tells Me Opponents Hand!?

I was playing 4/8 with a really friendly dealer. I was 2 seats to the dealer's right and was in a hand with the player to the dealer's left. The board on the turn was K449. I bet, my opponent...

QQ w/ overcards on board

I tend to be afraid of overcards to my PP. Probably because I'm weak-tight.

The villain is extremely loose and passive. I have seen her call flop and turn bets with no pair and no...

Re: Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?

Thanks everybody for your help. I did bet out, but when I wasn't raised I wondered if I may have been better off trying to get in extra big bets instead of small bets. Thanks again for your help.

Re: Flop the nuts, should I slow-play?

What hands should I be afraid of? A bigger straight, even though I have blocking cards?

And I added my position to the OP. The SB folded so I left him out. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Live 3/6 QQ in SB

Against players like this, I would give up on the turn. With 3 callers, I don't think your hand will be good often enough to show a profit and you won't bet them off an ace.
