2-4 Live, trips on the flop
Hi all
This is from a live 2-4 game. No one at the table is capable of thinking like a 2+2'er. Everyone is pretty ABC. Everyone is close to $400.
Villian #1 is a lagtard. Earlier, he...

for this not to be +EV, both your opponents would have to fold on the turn, and if that is the case, you should be happy to call and bluff them off their overpair.

Re: 4-8/kill game at Oceans11, beatable?
I'm not great at this, but to start
assuming 30 hands/hr
the house rakes $150/hour, which is huge compared to the stakes. I've played 4-8 full kill games where the avg. buy in is around $150,...

Re: Playing Too Tight??
I think that folding this preflop is horrible IMO.
Its ~ 5:1 presently on your call. Its very reasonable that you can expect to collect at least 4 BB after the flop if you hit your set, making...

Re: KK in UTG+1; Two 10\'s on Board; Oh My!
I would just call the flop 3-bet, then call down if you think you have a chance to be in the lead. If your behind, you lose less, if ahead, you don't allow him to get away from his hand.
If the...

Re: 2-4 live game, + or - EV?
So, what is the right forum?
How is this an easy call? If he has T9 Str8 draw, then he has 14 outs, with 2 cards to come, thats 67%, making it even money.
P.S. my read is dead on.

Re: Tight Passive wakes up on river. 5/10
I think flat calling the raise is right. He's only 0.7 on the aggression scale and is raising a scary river.
the options are 3-bet which he only calls with a queen, 3-bet - he folds, 3-bet -...

Re: Two unconventional folds 5/10
Hand 1, folding the turn is fine. With the SB's stats, he's not fooling around and has you beat. A 1.4 doesn't cap the flop on a draw. Also, i've noticed the tight a palyer is pre-flop, the...

Re: A donkbet from a suspected rock?
I have to disagree with most and say i HATE your flop call. I think that it is typical of 3-6 ( even from winning players) to call down , but a raise is sooo much better.

Re: Let\'s Play \"Count The Mistakes\"
If raiseing KJs utg right for this game, you're in a great game. Fold the flop. You're basically drawing to another jack, as a king puts a4str8 on board, and any 3rd spade could kill you.
