Re: $16 44 CO 5-handed, push 9bbs?
Under 10 bb 5 handed is a lot of pressure to find a hand to go with. This may be the best you get for a while. It's true that A5 is a coin flip, but who calls a big chunk of his stack with that...

Re: $60: TPNK from blinds again
I think this is the BEST of the responses so far; I'm surprised nobody else suggested leading. Yes, you're outplayed by a bluff raise, but this is less likely than an obvious steal bluff after 2...

Re: $60: AKs early
Fair enough. Not sure the "air" option is too likely, but let's go with it. If he has AQ or KQ, you're in bad shape with one card to come. If he has air, a raise gets him to fold A9 or AT where his...

Re: $60: AKs early
How is it "hard" that he connected with this coordinated board? He bet into the 10 on the turn. If he has nothing, he's REALLY being tricky and has HUGE stones. If he was going to bluff or...

Re: $60: AKs early
How is this a huge draw? 9 diamonds & 3 other Qs is 12 outs. You're 3-1 against making your hand, and all your chips are in the pot. Even if the other 3 aces and kings (6 more outs) are wins, you're...

Re: $60: AKs early
I think folding the turn is reasonable - especially in a SNG. You need your opponent to call a $700 bet (or more) on the river when you hit a diamond (most likely win) to have the right implied odds....

Re: (200 6m) PF AJ hijinx
I sort of like the move. Button probably doesn't have too much because he didn't try to raise out the blinds. CO is probably going all in anyway. But you're risking $94 to win $23 (assuming CO...

Re: Pocket Pairs- Raise or Limb
I notice that stack size hasn't been discussed. One reason to raise is to build a big pot for when you hit your set. You want enough in the pot pre-flop to get all the money in with the escalating...

Re: KQ suited
Why has nobody commented on the play on the flop? I don't like trapping with just TP in a cash game. I'd have led out which likely fails here when he lets me bet off my chips against him. Your check...

Re: AA UTG
How did we get to $20 on the flop? Was this something like $1-$2 blinds, a raise to $7 by you and $1 raked?
Anyway, if you raised pre-flop, he either has a 4 or is jerking you off because you...

Re: Chasing non nut draws then stuck on river
You're probably stuck paying him off. There are probably many hands he could hold without a K. He may be facing the same problem you are (who's got a K) and be making defensive bets of 1/3 the pot to...

Re: NL100: Getting aggressive w/tptk
Why does everyone assume you're ahead here? He might play this way with 66 or 22 and have flopped a set. He could also have QQ or JJ. He doesn't know you, and doesn't know how aggressive you get on...

Re: 1/2 - Push river with AK in RR pot?
I think his most likely hand is AQ, and the river card will let you get another $72. He probably made a mistake calling the turn.
My other thought is he could be trapping with AA or KK, but he'd...

Re: QQ facing a mini-raise and then 4-bet
This smells like a trap. I frequently see some players only raising to 2x BB with a weak raise, but they never seem to reraise. Without the reraise, he might have something like jj, tt, or 99 and...
