Re: .50/1 AK unimproved in position against TAG, turn and river play

*grunch*

I think you've got it backwards. If you're looking for one more bet, you have a better chance of betting the turn. If he's on a draw (there's a diamond flush draw here), he'll call, but...

Re: Cry call this river?

*grunch*

I raise the flop. You have TPTK, albeit a crappy top pair. Now you want to make people pay to draw, or alternatively have SB re-raise to know you aren't best.

As played, you don't...

Not sure about b/f on the river. Read on BB is that he's a loose calling station. If we could be more confident of him folding a better hand (like a baby diamond) it would be worth it, but...

For a poker player, he should be better at creating his 'island image'. He's scaring the fish and its going to get them to start playing better and kick his fat, low-rise ass off the island.

Re: AK - I fold it next time, right ?

Cap the flop, lead the turn. If you get raised, call down from there. Or you can call down from the turn. I think both would be ok.

Re: Turn/River line check.

You don't give him any credit for QQ here? Except for not re-raising you pre here, this is how he'd play pocket queens, no? Your read said he was passive, maybe passive enough not to reraise...

Re: .5/ 1 ATs cold calls on the button flops nut flush and gutshot

Is cold calling here so clearly right? You could pretty easily be dominated here. You have position, which is nice, but I might be tempted to fold this, if I had any sort of read on villain that he...

c/r+call flop = 1.5BB; c/c donk turn = 1.5BB and probably gives you similarly reliable "information" if not more so because people are more prone to overplay things like 88 or AK on the...

I only don't like the river bet only because of the turn check/call. The check/raise suggested earlier is a good idea. What are you putting them on that beats you? AQ? I would have thought they...

Advice that helped me was "The goal is to win money, not pots." This often means letting the little pots with little hands go and wait for better opportunities.

Re: Made Hand / River Dilemma

What about a flop raise? I probably would have raised this on the flop as the SB could very well be a c-bet and we could easily have the best hand.
