Re: fold QQ pre?

Re: AQ facing RR

Re: Soft 5/10nl games in Vegas?
IMO the location of Caesar's blows the Wynn out of the water. I've played (and stayed at Caesar's) but never have played the 5/10 limit. I've been in the Wynn and I'm sure the rooms are nice but I...

Re: KK live automatic call, or is it?
Thats what I was thinking, its good maybe %50 of the time so still +EV. Sterotyping may have a negative connotation but its funny how often our initial reads on people are correct. For instance,...

Re: flop raise my cbets
The pre flop raise in position is fine. I think this is either a reraise or a fold situation on the flop. Why not reraise to tell him you're not joking? If he comes over the top again he has it. ...

Re: Laying down Trips for one more bet
Regardless of your read on UTG you have to call here getting 12:1. If you really have a gut feeling that you are beat, then just call instead of raising but you absolutely must call with this hand.

Re: AA Big Reraise (NL50 FR)
A wild player is likely to make this play with a hand like one pair with the As. I'd call the turn, and since he's almost out of money c/c anything but a spade river. No way I'm dumping AA because...

88? maybe, but if all we're really looking for are sets and maybe A5s, i think this should be reraised... i think you're good often enough for that reraise to show profit.
