Re: nl100: turn straight draw in small pot

I think I'm just c-betting the flop and folding to any resistance.

Re: ($27) AQs Vs. Regular

Yes, I'm instantly mucking this at 25/50. I'm probably only raising to t150 here, too.

Re: Stars, 33 reg. bubble time. I think my play was right?

Yeah, your play was "correct" from a strategy standpoint, but I guess he had no idea of what he was doing. They do this at the $33s? Man I gotta move up.

Re: $11 Bubble Play, push here?

Thanks for the confirmation. In SNGPT it seems like it's about a break-even EV proposition if he calls top 20%, but there's no way his calling range can be that wide. I can see where this becomes...

Re: SNG bubble, donk call IMO

There is no way we can call here, even if you think you are ahead of CO's range. I'm probably throwing away everything except AA (and maybe KK) here. Firstly, you can't assume that everyone will...

Re: PS 6.50 lvl 3 JJ

I probably lead out on this flop for around half the pot and fold to an all-in raise. It may be a little weak but I hate getting all my chips in this early in a game without a fair idea of whether...

$11 Bubble Play, push here?

This hand came up on the bubble of an $11 SNG today, and I am wondering if pushing is correct here.

We have a very short (~5BB) stack at the table, and I have the BB covered. My only concern is...

Re: PS 25+2 correct or not?

Results don't have much to do with the discussion here.

I like the way you played this. I don't mind the turn check behind, it keeps the pot small which is exactly what you want with your hand. ...

Re: A situation I was unsure how to handle, what\'s your opinion?

I would call also. If you flop top pair, or the board is otherwise good for you, put in a nice sized bet. I don't like to shove here with the stack sizes being so deep.

Re: $16 JJ push?

I'd push here, but I'm not totally happy about it. I'd rather he shoved UTG than raised 2.5x - sometimes these small raises from stacks less than 10 BB mean real strength.

I don't see how we can...

Re: PS $22 QQ faces turn pressure OOP

I would make this play with AK as well, so I don't think I could be read for being weak here. Though the bet itself is a little weak. I don't think I'm going to get played back at too often with...

PS $22 QQ faces turn pressure OOP

Hi everyone,

I've recently moved up to the $22s, and am doing well there. I'm going to be posting a little more on here to make sure my postflop play is where it should be, so please bear with me...

Re: (16) bubble hand- have i lost my mind?

I didn't realize SB was all-in, though I still don't think villain's calling range is that wide. He might call with a set or 2-pair, but I think he's going to throw away much of what beats us.

Re: $16 Stars: Too passive with AQ?

I would not fold preflop against an unknown with no read. They raise A8 and 55 here.

Definitely. You can flat call here since you have good position. You can release...

Just push the flop. He can't call, even with AK.

Re: All-In Semi-Bluff at the bubble

If it were me, I raise to t600 preflop, and I'm folding to his reraise. He told you you were beaten preflop (with his min re-raise) and you're not getting close to the right implied odds to play 98s...

Re: $16-ATs-line check

I'm definitely pushing here. Heads-up, ATs is a big hand, and I think we're ahead of much of what he could be raising with here. Flat-calling would be fine if the blinds were smaller, but at 25/50...

I think shoving here is fine, especially if you know SB will try to steal your blind. You still have some amount of fold equity because he won't have quite 2-1 on a call. ...

Re: $20+$2-Standard Play

For me, it depends how it's played out until this point. If he's been aggressive in using his large stack against you and he's likely to be putting you all-in with any pair or any broadway cards,...

Re: PS 6 + .50 Turbo - AT on the Bubble

I'd push preflop, but as played definitely just call the river. Your hand has some showdown value and the only hands that will call your shove are hands that beat you.

Re: Hit the flop multiway deepstacked

That's a pretty tough spot, do you have any specific reads on villain? I'm probably shoving here, because he may have a flush draw or a worse king. If he's flopped a set, I am not sure if you can...
