Re: LO8 $1/$2 Turn nut low, betting capped
Not to mention, it's possible the other player, if he indeed has an A2, might realize with you calling all bets, maybe he'll slow down on the river. I'm gonna call in this spot. Preflop, your hand...

Re: A234 spot
Fiasco, you're not going to get checked to on the turn here. As far as the question goes, you've got to fold. I don't really consider "peeling" calling 2 bets, or possibly more. Then, if the turn...

Re: LO8 Take the free turn?
Against 3 players, in position, I'm gonna take the free card here. You've got to think against 3 other players there's either a nut low draw or an A-4 as well. With what you said about the BB, he...

Re: AA holding question
I guess it depends how well you play. If you can't stand to lay down AA in the face of a couple raises, you're gonna lose a ton with that hand. AK vs. 1 player is certainly the less risky/lower...

Re: Best Poker Book U ever Read:
I wanted to add a book to this list. It doesn't contain the strategy you're looking for, but Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein was a fun read for me. He touches on some of the "real world" parts...

Re: A239
I might have bet this flop, hoping to get any stragglers calling for low out of there, not to mention giving a free card to a gutshot that would not have called. Perhaps I'd check the turn then, if...

Re: results
That's the reason you CAN'T play this flop slow. You won't know where you're at. 1/2 pot sized bet by the pre-flop raiser, then just call-call? What does that tell you about the strength of their...

Re: plo8 200 on party, flopped set
This isn't a flop you want to mess around with. I'm going to bet this flop 999/1000. What are you gonna do when the Tc comes on the turn, and you tried to get fancy by going for a check-raise,...

Re: 5/10 6max hand
I agree, I think calling the turn accomplishes the same thing. If you have him beat and he is bluffing at you, you win his bet and perhaps one more. If he has you beat, your raise will not deter...

Re: Kill on Blind
I disagree on the fold. You're getting 9-1 here, I think you should call, but realize this: Know the kind of hand you want to make. You do NOT want to flop bottom set. You do NOT want to make a...

Re: playing JJ-KK for set value
When you're talking 6-handed, set value, no, but the fact it's a big pair can be just as important. I personally can't stand playing JJ or QQ. I don't mind KK as much, especially with some flush...

Re: What forms have the highest/lowest variance?
I play a tight-aggressive style. I find that omaha/8 has the lowest variance for me. But, just as important as your strategy, is game selection. If you play in jam-up holdem games, your variance...

I know it's a home game, but could you perhaps get position on him in someway? If not, I'd just play a tight-aggressive game against him. Don't try to get too fancy, play your straightforward game....

Re: Incredible 30/60 party game
No, that's pretty sweet though. The times I've played in that game, it's been pretty good, not like everyone sees the flop, but getting action on my hands.
