Re: ###OFFICIAL SUPERBOWL XL THREAD###
OK here's my 2 cents on the game. Yes, the refs were terrible. Yes, the calls favored the Steelers. I was watching the game with about 6 or 7 people who were all rooting for the Steelers and they all...

Re: 99 against aggressive player in BB
I agree, hero folds. Yet another 99 hand. Seems like there have been a lot of them lately. I think 99 is the toughest PP to play because you're faced with tough decisions pre-flop and then it...

Re: Nut flush, pair on board
You have to 3-bet. The odds that he has a boat are low. He could have a lower flush or a hand like 56. You certainly need to put in the extra raise and if he has a boat then oh well that's poker.

Re: Folding TPTK-
Hand 1: Raise Pre-flop. Not bad after that. Tough fold but calling two on the flop then raising the turn seems like a flush, 2 pair, or a set. I can't see him playing like that with AQ or AJ.

Re: interesting KQ hand

River 7 of clubs. He checks and I check even though I'm confident that he doesn't have a flush.

So why did you check? Your reads seem to suggest that you have him beat...

Need Some BB Help
As came up in a different thread, it seems like I may need to loosen up my BB calling standards in bigger pots. My VPIP as BB is 15.95 which seems reasonable compared to CallMeIshmael's numbers. I...

Re: How do you pick your tables?
I believe most people datamine and then use Poker Ace Hud to decide where to sit. If I see a table with a lot of weak players then I'll want to sit at it. For example, if I see that there's 3 players...

Re: Standard BB call gets messy
I think you still need at least one more player in to call there preflop. Personally, I'd like 5-6 players in to call a raise in the BB with a hand like 42s. I understand your thinking but I think...

Re: A7s
That is probably what the OP was thinking here. EM talks about this on pp. 158-160 of SSH but it's a different situation. Here he only has one overcard and he is out of position against the...

Re: AQo - Preflop question
Ouch, a UTG raise and a reasonable player cold calling. That situation makes me sick with AQ. I think I'd save myself and fold. It's tough when you think UTG might have changing raising standards and...

What do you do if you raise, get two or three callers and then an overcard, say a king comes on the turn and it gets checked to you? Do you take the free card, or bet and try for a free...

I would raise this donk bet, the guy seems like a donk himself so don't back off until he really shows you something.

Re: river raise to drive away overcalls
It's a big pot so it's tough to fold TPTK but that board is about as scary as it gets. There's not much chance that a bluff raise will scare off many people. If you had a read that MP1 was capable...

Re: nice flop call dusch
He had a backdoor flush draw, a runner-runner 2 pair draw, and a runner runner trips draw. How can you expect him to fold with all those possibilities?
