Re: NLTRN - $20 reg - flopped a combo draw

Re: QQ in 4 bet pot 100nl deep

IF it is just AK+ and JJ+ you are a small dog but it is not -EV because of the money already in the pot

SO push and avoid...

Re: HUSNG Theory: Aggression

Thank you for all the responses, I do need to just slow it down a little bit. I feel some pressure from the fact that the blinds are increasing soon but I overreact to that pressure.

Re: $6 NLTRN: Q6s calls down

If playing against a maniac, the adjustment is to tighten up and become passive letting him bet your strong hands for you.
Also you should have tried seeing if he would fold to raise when you had...

Re: $11 NLTRN - please help me understand limp-[call|rerais]ers

To respond to OP question,
The Limp reraise or reraise all in is usually a very good hand. KQ is not strong enough I would fold.

When OOP the deeper you are the bigger your disadvantage. The...

Re: Super extra-de-dooper thin value betting ($50 NLHUSNG)

I think you put your opponent on a calling range that mostly beats you, though I am not sure I understand your read. IF that I am right then I think betting is negative +ev

Re: HUSNG--Missed small pocket pairs

I don't usually raise these because I think they are very hard to play because of the tendency of opponents I face to call me down lightly and I am out of position. So I usually go set farming with...

Re: $6 turbo - river action with 2 pair

I don't think calling here preflop is a good idea because of reverse implied odds. I just don't know what to do if an Ace comes because mine is so weak.

Re: HUSNG: getting raised on the river
