Re: Mansion 100k: top pair weak kicker

Guess I forgot to give my opinion on the action....

I agree with the others that it's either a monster or air.

I'd lean toward air. Early on in a shortstack tourney, I'd tend think a monster...

Re: Mansion 100k: top pair weak kicker

IMHO, I think the problem here is the PF raise--it wasn't enough to mean anything. A 1.5BB raise from late position? To me, this would look like a weak steal attempt. Even if I just have air, I'm...

Re: 9Ts vs LAG

If he's a maniac, I'm gonna check raise 90% of the time here. The amount depends on the action in front of me.

BB checked to me, I led out $50, with the intent to call if UTG+1 pushes.

My thinking was that I'd get UTG+1 to muck and probably get one of the others to call.

Checking was never an option. ...

Re: top set on flush board

i guess you know the table, but people call raises with a lot more hands that flop flushes here than AKs.

This must be a capped buyin game given the stack sizes.

Re: weak bets to me and i have dummy end gutshot.

Why would you bother defending with 57os?

I know it's just a minraise, but you're really looking for a lot of help from the get-go.

Re: 87s

The push might get you some fold opportunities, but any pair makes you a 2-1 dog. You'd be putting in 100 to win 480.

By the stacks, I'm guessing you're not too far into the tournament, and even...

go for a steal with a nice raise. if reraised - muck.
if called, see flop for trips. otherwise be done with the hand.

trouble is you have no post flop reads on the guy.

Re: 2 pair on scary board facing overbet

You can't really put him on much here, due to lack of information.

The only way you're going to get that information is to raise. Otherwise fold.

Re: AA UTG beat by J3o (10x Raise by J3 Preflop)

Once the big raise came preflop, you should have gotten all-in. As strong as AA is, you don't want to play against multiple hands with it, if you can avoid it.

Re: final table, AQos from button
