Re: HEY PZHON....How was this for protecting my 2 pair ?

WCGRider,

No, the right play will win the most money/chips in the long run. In the short-term bad plays might - and often do - win. But this play will lose in the long term.

Re: HEY PZHON....How was this for protecting my 2 pair ?

Have a read of some good...

Re: Whats the best way to protect your 2 pair postflop & prevent a suc

Looks to me like you were not aggressive enough at any time. I would have folded pre-flop but as it is you called and then played weakly I think. Loose & passive is not good poker. You need to bet...

Re: Quick ruling Question?

Your friend is correct.

If the all-in raise is not double the last bet, it counts only as a call, not a raise. And you can't re-raise a call.

Re: The rule of 4 and 2

It is a way of calculating winning percentage.

Basically, the chance of hitting any of your outs is

outs X 2

so if you have 10 outs, your chances are 20%

I find it's usually a little more...

Re: Eek. I have to fold here?

Just a note that someone else actually raised pre-flop - and it was a big one, 6.5 X BB, and he called their raise.

Are you guys saying a re-raise is in order here preflop? I don't think so,...

Re: What to do here?

As you are probably aware, the situation could have been avoided with a preflop raise which is possibly (?) the correct move with AJ.

Re: What should I do with KK here?

That's really tough, I hate plays like this.

I'm inexperienced, so take my rambling with a grain of salt.

But looking at the flop, I guess his most likely holding is trips or AA. I can't see...
