PL25 JJ on monotone flop
MP1 is 27/0/3 over measly 25 hands. Got stacked with overplayed AA in a previous session.
Button is 27/8/1.2 over 250 hands and the numbers paint a good picture; aggresive pre-flop and a little...

Re: check turn for control
Doesn't TOP talk about checking behind with a marginal hand when you would hate a re-raise? I would hate to get c/r off this hand by KT/QT (which are in his range) and lose the pot when I could win a...

Re: Check this out: THE draw
Only 1 caller pre-flop at $0.5/$1? You should change tables immediately if this is a trend. Otherwise it looks fine.

Re: what has the least variance
I don't recall he specifics but Poker Essays 1 has some comparison of variance for different games. Based on my recollection of that, I would think Stud/8 is higher variance (perhaps significantly).

PL25 Top Two facing bet and raise
BB is loose, bad player who likes to min raise with junky hands pre-flop and go too far with top and mid pair. UTG is 26/0/1.8 over 600 hands. UTG has raised a total of one time preflop (didn't...

I recognize hand 2 all too well.

Re: Q5 turns full house on scary board - WA/WB?
I don't play 6 max but I gotta believe AQ and KQ raise PF unless villian is super passive. Given that, I think I assume WA and happily go broke the 1 in 25 times I'm WB. I am not convinced he...

Re: Set Upset?
I would probably call as well. It looks like he is trying to shut you out of a draw and you can't rule out a bluff/semibluff on the straight card. With those stats I would expect to see JT a good...

Re: Low Limit LO8 Lotsa LQuestions
At low limits you guys don't think your low is good 1 time in 6? I would probably call the river bet.
Otherwise, I agree with raising the flop.

Re: betting no limit
I would recommend you check out Harrington on Hold Em Vol 1. It is a tournament book but covers all of the questions you are asking very well. It helped me a lot with bet size and hand reading.

$.5/1 LO8 Nuts on turn lots of action
Button is a donk who overplays two pair and bottom set type hands. MP1 seems typical semi-loose player. Nothing on MP3.

Re: 25NL TPTK vs Megafish multiway
