Re: easy shove?

If we're willing to go to the felt with an overpair on a draw-heavy board, shouldn't we be raising more preflop to cut down on the implied odds?

most 200nl players fold an overpair here no?

why not just cap the turn if we're going to checkraise this riv? The river only helps us versus his JT combos.

Yes, in the situation you listed. The person can no longer contribute to a Roth IRA. His AGI is too high.

Re: Why can\'t I contribute to a ROTH IRA?

Yep, this is the case pretty much.

I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to file as a pro this year. I'd pay about $4K more in taxes for filing as a pro than as a hobbiest, would it be...

Why can\'t I contribute to a ROTH IRA?

Ok, I'm filing my taxes and TurboTax is telling me that I can't contribute to a ROTH IRA because my Modified Adjusted Gross Income is too high. I hadn't acutally made that much in 2005 but this...

Re: dead implied odds

Against "normal" players I'd call hoping for a set or to fold them out and get heads-up against the all-in dude (hoping he's got AK). Against these guys, you aren't going to get enough action on a...

Re: 40-80 Live: Risky slowplay, any value in it?

I'd almost always raise this flop not only because there aren't many really safe cards, but I'd want to get the BB out now before he picks up some kind of draw on the turn.

Re: Semi weak flop play two (too?)

Oh, for sure. His range here is MUCH bigger than AQ, I didn't mean to imply that this was his only likely hand, just that if we are ahead, we're up by little and he has alot of outs (or tied) and if...

Re: bluffing is fun

In the games that I play in, if a preflop raiser is willing to call a turn bet unimproved with this board then they almost always call the river. Yours may be different, but even in my game I'd...

Re: AA facing a turn c/r

He's loose and could be playing QJ or the like with a club draw. Maybe he has TT and you have 4 outs. It's worth two bets and you might get to showdown for only one. Also, you have a chance of...

Likely to be drawing to 3 outs, small pot, no backdoor flush draw. Yep--good fold.

Re: 15-30 Bellagio

I'd cap and bet the turn since you say he's a tilter. Tilt-o-whirl like this is likely to pump on the flop with little. If raised on the turn then I'd call down assuming I'm beaten but not being...

Re: Semi-weak flop play #1

Yep. Good play. Against a single cold-caller and the BB I'd strongly consider one bet then a check/fold on the turn. Against two, I'm outta this hand.

Re: Best site to calculate your return for free

A google search should turn up something useful for you. Google "financial calculator". I can't reccomend a site from experience.

Re: Difficult fold for me

I would simply call the entire way, given this guy's stats. The free-card play may well result in an expensive card since he's so aggressive. A free showdown is also unlikely and it'd be a shame to...

Re: AK, two pair. Raised on turn

Well played. For lack of a cap on the turn you bet the river for value against his probable two-pair that he has overplayed. If the turn was capped I'd go into check-call mode. I can't see the...

Re: 32/20 Blues

I'd imagine that you are not raising very much when not opening. Consider raising with your big suited connectors, also don't be afraid to raise from the blinds.

Re: didn\'t work this time, but anyone like this play?

I like it. I wouldn't have played this from the SB though--that's just me. I'd play it this way some of the time and check-raise the flop some of the time. I am curious of what you'd have done if...
