Re: My biggest routine mistake...help guys!
I think you played the hand fine. You might be able to fold on the river, but maybe not. I don't agree with the raise the flop line, as it wins you the least when you are ahead. I mean, either he...

Getting back to it... TPTK and a c/r
So I'm getting back into online poker after about a 5 month break. I'm trying to 'relearn' the game and get better at fundamentals. So here is a hand I wasn't sure about.
My only read is that...

Re: Two pair against solid/aggro villain
I like call, and then block the river if no heart falls. I think you are ahead of his range here, but I don't think you can c/r the turn for value since you are way behind his calling range. Also,...

Re: 50NL - I NEVER FOLD
Assuming you make it to the river, you lost to pocket pairs, AK, KQ (discounted), and Kxd (again, discounted.) You beat AQ and busted draws. I think I find a fold, in that you have no real...

Re: My first QQ lay down deep....
I like threebetting the flop to about 2.5, folding to a push from either. You're oop against two players, which will get tricky. The nit is going to fold everything but AA,KK and the minraiser will...

Re: lost with a gutshot+pair IP
I don't know, but the river bet really looks like he is trying to get value here. I think calling is bad. It may be a blocker w/ 88ish hand, but w/ only ~12 left in his stack, I don't think he will...

Re: AK on Uncoordinated Board
Here's the thing. Not reloading here (i.e. playing short) has put you in a tough situation. Preflop, if you are going to call the 3bet, you will have a little more than a psb left, on the flop, so...

It is very obvious that you have a draw. No set would play that way. So your fold equity is nil against a strong player with good hand.

Re: NL50 (6): shove-it or give up?
I really don't like this hand. At all. When I bluff someone I try to have a backup plan, and you don't have one here (drawing to 2 outs) AND you are out of position. I suppose c/r the flop is ok...
