Re: 44 overpair.
I think preflop may be close. I'd probably fold. You're getting around 3 to 1 on your money. For set value, you'll need to make up around 5 BB's. I think that's probably a stretch.
Flop, I would...

Re: Kinda sick JJ hand
I've been thinking about this hand for like 30 minutes, and I still don't have a good answer.
I could cop out by saying, just call down, the pot is big.
I think the difficulty here is putting...

Re: makes this cbet any sense?
it depends. Two important factors (there may be more) are:
1. What are the preflop tendencies of the people to act behind you. If you can get Ax heads up, then you should be fairly happy. Even A2o...

Re: makes this cbet any sense?
I iso raise a loose passive with A5o here as well. But I usually do it wanting to have the hand be HU or 3 way against a weak BB.
I don't c-bet here often. I don't think your hand has the equity...

Re: anything wrong with this?
I think this is bad advice. You raise preflop because you have an equity advantage. You sometimes don't c-bet because you don't have an equity advantage depending on the board texture and because...

Re: folding TPMK
I play hand 1 the same. You have to seriously discount your outs here as UTG, and the reverse implied odds if you improve put you in bad shape. Preflop, I'd want a read that the button, SB and BB do...

Re: Dealing with LAGs
Is a 30/20 a LAGTAG? I was under the impression that a 30/20 was a TAG. I'm still fairly new to 6 max however. What does a TAG's preflop stats look like?

Re: Hmm, let\'s call this a marginal 87o hand
I think you may be right that folding may be better on the flop, but like you say it seems close.
You are pretty vulnerable to redraws even if you do improve or have the best hand. If you do have...

Re: Hmm, let\'s call this a marginal 87o hand
Scorcho,
It would be more helpful if you elaborated with some explicit reasons on why you think 87o is a bad limp. I personally like it because SB is a TAG, so will not often raise without fairly...

Re: Hmm, let\'s call this a marginal 87o hand
I like the preflop limp. SB and BB are unlikely to raise, and you are getting great implied odds with the BB and maniac in the hand with you. Also you have great position. I don't like a raise much,...

When I have had -BB/100 streaks for long periods of time, albeit not nearly as long runs as you, I can't help but start tilting. Usually in more ways then one. And tilt just kills your win...

Re: AQ and a questionable turn play
I usually start calling down after being c/r on that turn. I don't think your hand is best often enough to warrant a 3-bet. Once you are capped, the pot is fairly bloated at that point. 9.5 BB. I...
