Re: NL5 - set on a flush board

raise preflop, flat call the turn raise and hope to fill up, re-evaluate on the river. If the SB shoves, I'd probably fold given how deep you are, but the little donk bet is often a blocker. He may...

Re: AA - Low coordinated board

I beg to differ. He could have played it a lot worse.

Yeah, maybe he should have made it a $1 or $1.25 pre. I think $2 is a scared money kill your action sort of bet. You want people to call...

Re: 50NL:QQ rivers a boat on an awful board.

On the short stack he's going to get all in with any A and any T. Of course you call here. And for 20BB, you can't hate any spot. At most, a spot can be mildly annoying. This spot is more of a...

Re: NL50: Large Pot w/ OverPair OOP at the River

You have $26 behind in a $53 pot. There is no folding allowed here. If he has JT, so be it. If he has 57 or T7, compliment him on his play.

If he has a Q, he is going to check behind for the...

Re: Situational Hand Reading 101: Example

Like the others have said, you aren't really repping a K as much as you are protecting your hand. A lot of the time you simply had the best hand here but no card in the deck other than the 2 3's are...

Re: 4 Month Checkup

It looks like he's not limping a whole lot until the CO and button.

Far be it from me to give any advice as my game is in shambles right now, but even with the general passivity of the dog, I...

Re: Help understanding my graph

I don't think it's true at all. Passive players, who there are more of in full ring by its nature, rely more on shown down pots. But, there are plenty of attacking full ring players with their...

Re: nl1000 jacks

Do you mean raiser or the Js? At high limits is the usually a bluff or rarely a bluff?

Thanks.

Re: 1/2: Thought it was a Cooler

Unless you're 3-betting a pretty wide range and opening up the villains 3-bet calling range, 3-betting AJ just seems like a mistake in general. It would seem to me that it plays really badly when...

Re: 1/2: Thought it was a Cooler

I really don't like the 3-bet pre-flop with this hand in position. When you get called, the pot is so big and catching top pair is death. You are just crushed against his range at that point. ...

Re: The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs onlin

Playing devil's advocate here, the online game is dominated by midstack poker where analysis and early street decision making dominates the play. Brandon was pretty clear that the online players...

Re: How Kenny Tran Rates Internet Players

Barry made a post in one of the Durrr wpt threads that addressed this question more or less.

Re: 20k hand checkup

My guess is that you're running good. You're playing way too many hands passively and oop. You play roughly the same number of hands from UTG to the button. That isn't likely to be a winning style...

Re: Help understanding my graph

I don't know if it's normal or abnormal. You see both types of graphs. Some people rely on stealing, some rely on good post flop decisions to win them money in shown down pots. It looks like most...

Re: Some Features That Need to Make It into Online Poker

Running it twice seems a little silly. You run it twice to reduce variance that is inherent when you only see 15 hands per fortnight. You see so many hands online that the variance problem more or...

Re: donkeytest

The "you would win at" ranking is a little suspect for sure. I'm sure Renton and SABRE could play significantly higher live if they had the bankroll. If you've spent any time watching the "Live at...

Re: 1/2NL at Foxwoods - Correct play on Flop?

If the villain is straightforward, I think betting is good. I have a hard time leading here if the villain is tricky or aggressive at all. It's such a good bluffing board. I routinely raise this...

Re: 1/2NL at Foxwoods - Correct play on Flop?

I really don't like leading on a board like this. So easy to get taken off your hand. I would fold given where you are. With that stack size you are so vulnerable. You can't play for stacks with...

Re: 2Pair - Can i call this shove ? NL25

In retrospect, I had us closer to needing 35% than 40%. I double added something or rounded too liberally somewhere. So, Chargers, I take it back, it's not so obvious a call. Given that we need...

Re: 2Pair - Can i call this shove ? NL25

Sure, sure. They often do have top and middle beaten. Just not always. The price we're being offered is reasonably close to the equity we have if the villain were to always have a set. The...

Re: 2Pair - Can i call this shove ? NL25

With the line the took, I just don't see how you can fold. You are only priced out against his worst case hands. People who take awkward lines rarely have only the nuts in their ranges. I don't...

Re: 2Pair - Can i call this shove ? NL25

[ QUOTE ]
Raise more on the flop. You're beat almost undoubtedly, but you have 13 outs to make the nuts (unless he has A8). It's $23 more to call and there's $6.50+$4.50+$28=$39 in the pot. So you...

This is short sighted. We're talking about Pamela and Rick S here. There is no way this isn't being filmed. There are just a lot of costs associated with that. There's the equipment, the...
