Re: Live 2/5: AQo
His stack is 350+125+80 = $505?
This hand is fairly ugly and I think the critical decision is preflop. By calling, you're saying you are willing to play for stacks with top pair. Two postflop...

Re: interesting story from foxwoods 5-10NL
sounds like he was overly upset about being put in his place for the "raise size?" out of turn, and made up some other stories just in case people didn't understand why he was mad.

Re: Value betting the river in multiway pots
In loose passive games, betting the river on this board (and *usually* calling a raise) shows a profit. The reasons are: in a big pot, people will call with many weaker hands but will not bet a...

Re: KQ in BB, fold top pair?
No I don't usually fold especially once it's heads up. By betting out on the flop (which I like) you may have forced him to raise hands like AJ and underpairs. I bet/call the river after this...

Re: 44 Set in the SB
pf call good.
Flop c/r, nice. You'd bet/3bet if that would trap more calls, but it looks like most of the field is in late position. There's a near zero chance this flop is getting checked thru.

Re: Would you consider laying this down?
oh wait i did the math wrong. Hero gets 605:310 to call and MP is often putting in another 210, making it effectively 815:310. Even against AQ this is a profitable situation. Against a slightly...

Re: 2/4 Foxwoods.. what to do in a rock garden?
In a lot of these games, even the rocks will recognize an aggressive blind stealer and tend to call down with any pair, sometimes seeing the river with A-high headsup.
In LP, with one rock limper,...

Re: Would you consider laying this down?
I'd consider folding it if I was pretty sure a) UTG has AQ and b) the other guy IS folding as well. Because against AQ you want the 3rd player in, to make your call correct with 30-35% pot equity. ...

I really don't mind the flop bet. It allows hero to showdown cheaply, since I am not too happy about folding anywhere postflop (your check opens the door for anyone to bet with any pair/draw)

Given the read that they are pretty solid players they're not going to call your push with a worse hand. And calling is out, so I fold.
