Re: Overbetting: When to use it?

Re: 1/2 live hand - curious about a read/tell
If you don't know what a mannerism means for this particular villain, it's not a tell; it's noise. Just ignore it.

Re: $1/2 UTG

A general question- if we are raised on the flop, would we have rather bet $15 or $25? Or to say it differently, assuming the raise is 3x our bet, would we rather go to the turn with...

Re: Hand reading quiz

His river bet really looks like a thin value bet, and I think we are behind a bit more often then not.

Re: Preflop Question- Live vs. Online

Re: Confused on flop with AA, 1-2nl deep
If his range is really this wide, then I think you should be willing to go down to felt. If he'll call $14 with 72, do you think he'll call $25? In a deep game, you have to consider your raise in...
