Re: Is this a standard play at NL25?

You're calling about $24 to win about $43 on what is pretty clearly a draw. Unless villian is a complete maniac, there's a good chance you only have 7 outs, and if villian has a set he's got lots of...

1/2 Live - A good River?

Villian has been at the table for about an hour. He's not the worst player I've ever seen but he seems to be a bit of a calling station. I have not seen him raise PF, and I've only really seen him...

Flopped Top Two - How\'d I do? Another basic hand.

I don't think I like the way I played this hand. Should I raise preflop? Should I raise the river? Otherwise are bet sizes okay?

Villians all seem very loose and moderately aggressive before...

Re: Is a \"nut flush\" a \"nut flush\" when it gets beat? (LC)

Is the "highest" flush still the nut flush if a straight flush is possible?

Re: 50NL rivered flush, strange villain bet

I'm assuming you're looking for feedback on whether to push or call. So I'll take a shot, for what it's worth (very little, I know, but this is more for my education than yours).

In any case, I...

Re: Firing a third barrel...do you call a raise with VERY marginal han

Without some kind of crazy read, here is how I am playing this hand:

Preflop: raise to 1 or 1.25
Flop: bet pot
After he calls: stop putting money in the pot

Re: NL 25 2 pair with very deep stacks.

I'm a puss, but I would strongly consider going into calldown mode after his reraise. It will give him a chance to bet some weaker hands.

As played, you're probably beat, and you never gave...

Re: AA -- Riv decision

I would definitely call this and then spend the next 15 minutes steaming about how poorly villian played his hand if I lost.

A 3 is highly unlikely (though not impossible at these stakes). A 5 is...

JJ gets a little resistance on the flop, so I slow down

Villian is 23/8/1 after 45 hands. He thought for almost a full minute before calling my flop raise. I didn't see any point in betting the turn. Should I have gone 1/2 pot on the river?

Overpair faces push on blank turn

Villian is 28/6/1.3 after only 15 hands. I had just played a weird JJ hand in which I checked down a winner after getting called on the flop. Don't know if that should be a consideration.

Re: Help me! I can\'t play when I have more than 100BBs! - flopped flush

I'll take a stab, although I agree that this is a really awkward spot.

Why no reraise on the flop? AK, AA, KK & JJ, are all smack dab in the middle of villians range and they all mean he doesn't...

Re: 25 NL: Folding overpair JJ

How could you fold to anything after raising to $21? Villian would only have $14 left and the pot would be over $60. You'd be getting better than 4.5-1.

Edited twice because I can't freakin add.

Re: 25 NL: Folding overpair JJ

This is a rough spot.

I think you could make decent arguments for either a push or a fold to his initial flop bet. The problem with calling or minraising is that the pot is getting so big that it...

Another bottom set faces a big push

The SB is an unknown. He bought in short less than an orbit ago. Villian is 15/6/2 after about 130 hands.

Regarding the limp, I know most of you will say raise and I agree. However I limp this...

Overpair raised on a wet flop - push or fold?

Villian is 20/10 after 30 hands. Nothing else to note except about an orbit ago, I folded to a push after cbetting TT on a K high flop. Don't know if that should be a consideration or not.
