One other thing to consider is the possibility that the villain is raising with a calling hand. I think against aggressive value bettors who can bet/fold some strong hands, raising with a...

Re: river bet?
I agree its a bet, but I think it is somewhat close. If he was more TAGgy and/or liked to checkraise the river I would probably check.

Re: hmmmm
My standard line here is just calling down the whole way, usually betting if he checks.
Often wins the most if he is bluffing/drawing, and loses the least if we are behind.

Re: 2nd nut flush, easy river raise?
I have to agree with Buffsta here. Raising seems like +EV even if you do call the 3-bet, even IF he never bluff-3bets. And I am not at all convinced the last call is -EV. He only needs to be bluffing...

Messed up big pot 66
Good 6-handed 10-20 game with many loose and bad players.
I pick up 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif UTG and raise.
One fold, Loosie1 (48/5/0,7) calls, Loosie2 (57/8/1,4)...

Re: AA waiting for turn
On this drawy board against all these players I guess your equity is not THAT high. So losing some extra flop bets could be ok IF you get to raise the turn on a safe card. With an "overaggressive" SB...

Re: Completing in SB after 1 limp
I think how often you can complete in the SB depends a lot on how aggro BB is. If he is passive you should have the odds to complete a lot of hands, definitely J7s, perhaps not 54o.
I prefer to have...

Re: river value bet against new player
Default definitely bet against someone who seems passive, and probably calls too much. Against an unknown I would never fold to a raise, so bet/call. With some luck he bluff-raises in this spot.

Re: TT against a re-raise
That would be pretty opponent-dependent. Against someone tight folding could be good, otherwise my default is calling down - depending on cards and action.

I only play 2. Used to play 3 on Party but where I play now I can only fit 2 tables witout overlap. I like playing 2 better so that is fine. But then, I am old.

Re: QJo OTB
Raising is bad as he probably has you beat. Folding is much much too weak getting 9,25-1, especially against an unknown. Have to call.

Re: Bad raise on the river?
So does anyone care about discussing preflop? Assuming average blinds I guess everybody would call here with KQs, QJs, JTs?
Does anyone call 9ts? 89s? kjs? qts?
