Re: $114 The hand that made me move to cashaments.
1) I think opponent, if he opens something like 88+AQs+ utg, has 88-QQ/AK or perhaps a bluff with exactly AQs if he cont. bet it. Everything else in his range is value betting, what he would fold is...

Re: $114 The hand that made me move to cashaments.
Although I don't think it's hard to imagine him value betting JJ or QQ here, I'm not sure how to weigh that likelihood compared to him checking AK/set. I think JJ or QQ is a good bet, and you have...

Re: $119 FTP Interesting bubble hand
With a player of your caliber in the BB, I push anything I decide to play as the button. My intuition is that the SB is better off pushing anything he decides to play, even with the significant...

Re: the Magic card game
As another mtger/poker pro, I figure I might as well chime in.
The first time I played holdem was also at a mtg pro tour (wow there's a lot of us for one OOT thread). My play was awful at first,...

Re: Live 10/25nl
There's 635 in the pot, you have 2500. The opener has a loose range, as well as all the callers? If so, why would a shove indicate AK precisely? We could consider pushing more liberally, and their...

Re: 22k guarentee, Final Table.
You'd have to have somewhat nitty opponents to find a thin shove, so I think that's out. If you are open raising and you can only call 1 player's shove, that's not necessarily bad, but that does mean...

Re: 200nl: resqueeze
I think this is a solid play, though I prefer to have a lot of datamined hands or personal experience with them. The thing is that, yes, if they are a nit (let's say they 3bet 5.2% of hands and call...

Re: Close QQ spot, $2/4
I don't see how you get away given the hand ranges I'd expect for a CO open and a BB 3bet. For me, it doesn't become interesting unless he's opening from EP, or you are a nit. At minimum I'd have...

Re: 27t. QJs in UTG. flop comes J-high
I open pre to whatever amount is standard for you. 500-600 is fine. I've definitely openfolded here before, but I would be careful about taking that too far. If the blinds are tight, you can even...

Re: PS 22: QQ 4-handed
You need him to push at least 22+, A2+, KJ+, QJs+ to make the call. I suspect that he is pushing at least this much. It could potentially be thin, but I don't see any reason to turn it down unless we...

Re: $225 Bad flop for KK
Probably isn't too helpful, but I think bet/fold, bet/call, and check behind are all viable here. With no reads I'd mix it up, since I would check behind AK here I like to balance that sometimes, and...

Re: PS 22: QQ 4-handed
I would definitely call hand 1. You need him to push around at least 55%, but I think you can be pretty confident that he is considering your read and the fact that you can be calling significantly...

Re: $114 QQ gets bet into hard
I have a bad habit of overthinking these spots. My first thought will be that he's committing himself and risking too much for it to be a bluff, and that he is a loose passive player. Just exploit...

Re: ($36) 99 UTG@ 40/80
Raise to 200 or 240 depending on your standard. I'd be very willing to fold to a shove considering 99 is at the bottom of my range here. Tough to do against an active UTG+1 or BB though. If there...

Re: ($55) Good spot to semibluff?
I play it the same. I really like the shove, and don't really like calling because I feel air compromises a significant to large % of his range. He's the big stack, and the complete the SB bet any...

Re: $22r - I continue to suck at poker
I like preflop and I insta fold the flop. Without including any math, I expect your equity is pretty poor on average. There are nightmare scenarios like set and Ad, or even just one higher overpair...

Re: $100 turbo UTG 88 60/120
Agree that you always have to push 88. The Q7s UTG +2 is a smart push against the right opponents imo, but it's razor thin so you definitely have to be sure of who you're dealing with. That type of...

Re: $33s - Look I folded QQ preflop!!!!!
I play it the same (with the info that the raise was to 480 of course). You're not quite getting odds to call even if he has KK/AA 100% of the time, felts it post 100% of the time, the SB never...

Re: $22s - I suck in poker
Definitely don't fold preflop. I like calling unless you've got data on the initial raiser. On this flop, I would bet 2 pair+ or any draw that is big for the situation. Therefore I'd bet this one as...
