Re: i\'m a huge calling station

I'll cap the preflop(edit) - especially because I want to punish BB for limping along with probably trash.

Then i'll bet the flop because there could be a ton of draws outthere. Button could have...

Re: 2 pair river call?

Could we just check-call this river. The 3 is a horrible card for us because now we are counterfeited with all higher pocketpairs and all Ax. They are very likely hands in his prefloprange. But if...

Re: Optimum bluffing frequency question

This talk about bluffingtheory in TOP is not supposed to be some kind of DIRECT tool, but more an INdirect tool to helps one mind how often to bluff in marginal situations. This is game theory and it...

Re: River action?

Don't know how well I like your turn 3bet, because your are actually checkraised and not being simply raised. It would be a wierd way to semibluff this one and we can only hope that he is on a...

I don't know about turnbet unless villain 3bets a lot preflop with low pockets or he has a low went to showdown percentage. You only beat something like A8 or AJ and split with AK.

Re: AA Turn fold

hand 1: Like miles.

hand 2: check to me too. The only hands you will get value from may be a single T or a lower FD - they may fold. Otherwise u are spewing cause the pot is really small....

Re: calling a cap preflop

As I see it KJo is hand that will win a little money in a capped pot and has the potential to loose a lot. It has reverse implied odds in this spot and I don't think it is a mistake to fold. It is...

Re: 2/4 - middle pair

U have middlepair decent kicker and it costs u at most 2BB to call to showdown to win 6 (or if river goes c/c u get 1:5). That is u just have to be good one third of the time. I don't know your...

Re: 10/20 Party Button. Wrong on Most Streets?

I think you can normally fold the flop. If you play I would raise the flop and bet for a freeshowdown on the turn, but it is a high risk play and we may already be behind and villain will have a ton...

Re: AK in position, line check please...

It really is an easy check. You will most certainly be against a least a pair or a gutshotdraw which all have odds to call. So it'll be a clear mistake to sweeten the pot when you actually will be...

Re: loose peels in blind steal

Interesting with Ax I think. Well, if we resteal we should 3bet the flop and bet the turn if we are not resisted. If he still hangs around we are beat. How often we should do this depends a lot on...

Re: loose peels in blind steal

Case 1. No peel. We have bad potodds, are probably behind and we could be drawing almost dead against overpairs(unlikely though as BB would have reraise preflop). Even if we hit how will we play it...

Re: playing limit hold em by accident (Advice needed)

Play solid starting hands when the blinds are low and valuebet TPTK. Be careful with anything less and don't throw your chips away with these weaker holdings. Just foldem in multiway pots.

Re: Nut pair+FD

We have got a reasonable hand on the turn and villain could call with else than a K here. I think we have to bet this flop cause I think it is too weak to c/f or c/c. If we get raised we could fold...

Re: AT, thirdpair + FD + GS on turn

Mitke@
You mean the turn I suppose. No then I would rather betcall.


The problem is he will only call with better hands.
The problem if we do not bet is that we will easily get bluffed out...

Re: 88 vs 2 maniacs, turn/river decisions

If it's HU on the turn and you know he will bet 100% when checked to you have an easy checkraise - you will be in front here most of the time.

Re: river decision with ace high

Why do we bet the turn when we cannot fold to a checkraise?? The turnbet makes us vulnerable to make mistakes and against an unknown this should be first priority. I'd check the turn and call a...

Re: Too passive out of position?

Against a passive player I will checkraise but against an aggro who can fold a hand like AK on a turnbet or a lower pocket, who will otherwise bet/bluff all way down I think calling down is the...

Re: Everybody else is doing it

I'd fold preflop too but a call is not bad. I think it is just about zero in expectation what ever you do. If you feel superior play - if not then don't and this one you should have folded because...

Re: Worth semi-bluff on the turn?

Villain has a funny line here. It is almost mandatory to continuebet here and he doesn't. Doesn't this smell? What are your read on his continuebets?

The problem betting on the turn is that he can...

Re: KK against a probable slowplay

U should cap the flop against an unknow. He does not know what your cap means so just valuebet - no need to be deceptive when you don't know how to use it.

On the flop u could bet and he will fold...
