Re: 100nl: is shoving > calling?
It's only $30 back to him (as that's what he had left), so you're getting called for sure. Also, you have huge pot odds to hit, so why not take them? If there is no fold equity, you're depriving...

Re: JJ against possible squeeze
Anything but a fold here is bad. You sure can't call and face another tough decision on the next street with still no idea, and a raise serves only the following purpose: To throw in a bunch of...

Re: Tough spot with QQ
This is one of the easiest decisions that you could have, it seems. What could you truly put him on with enough confidence to fold here? You have to push in here.

Re: 100 NL: 88 in the BB
I doubt many overpairs are laying down here. He could be betting an AQ or something due to your check, so a call or raise could be understandable (a raise being to define you hand; not to bluff). ...

Re: $100nl: The Two Nines Times
He very well could be bluffing at the flop with the heart draw or even the 8-9.
On the turn, I honestly doubt he's bluffing. His raise was called on the flop, and he has to have something to push...

Re: 100nl: TPGK on awkward board
How about a c/c? You can't fold to a shove, given his stack and the pot size, so give him a chance to bluff. If you shove, some hands that called along may fold, such as a busted nut draw with a...

Re: JJ OOP, ACK
I am surprised that you'd fold the river. If you are to fold the river, raise the flop are turn and see where you stand. As played, calling the river sounds very standard.

Re: Rockets on the River
I like a larger raise pf, for sure. As it is, if you're going to call the flop raise, you are well off to get to end of the hand for this price. Keep in mind that you could lose your whole stack...

Re: 1/2: 2 hands vs. a donkey
Hand one: I like the hand as played. A turn check is fine, since you do receive a free card if you're beat. The fold on the river looks standard here.
Hand two: The hand seems to be played...

Re: Simple QQ line check
Honestly, I hate the turn call. If you're going to fold the river, just fold the turn. He will fire the river whether he was trying to buy the pot or not on the turn.
Other than that, I like the...

Re: NL100: overpair on paired board vs turndonk
I'd put him on a pair such as sevens here. If he had a nine, wouldn't he check again if he chose to c/c the flop? He likely sees a non-threatening card and chooses to push against that probable AK...

Re: 100 NL: JJ hand #1
I don't mind a fold here either. If you are going to play the flop unsure of anything, why invest any more? Just wait until you can play a hand more confidently.
If you do call, c/c and c/f if you...

Re: JJ oop against donk
It sure looks like a raggedy ace to me, like A8 or A9 or something. If you choose to c-bet and are called, just give up. What could he have but the ace here? Also, if you're going to put chips in...

Re: [100NL] 67s, bottom 2pair vs TAG
Very easy call here. Only pocket queens can worry you here, and that's obviously unlikely (only one hand in the range, and with one queen on board, it's the most unlikely, statistically speaking),...

Re: [100NL] KJ, 2pair vs loose villain on bad turn
I don't really see the need to raise so much pf. Even against someone very loose, you've still got a very marginal holding out of position. You can bump it up to $4 just as well, or just limp in. ...
