Re: 10NL: monster against a nit - line check and strategy (140BB deep)

I actually considered shoving first, but since the villain was far nittier than the usual, decent 10NL players I didn't believe it'd get called by anything other than QQ. Sure, by betting about half...

10NL: monster against a nit - line check and strategy (140BB deep)

I deviated from my standard play in this hand since the villain was an absolute nit. Normally I took my distance from his hands but the rest of the table was really juicy so there was every reason to...

Re: NL20: Raising to force villains out

Looks like a bit icky squeeze attempt. If UTG+2 is passive, I might find a call here in hopes of hitting J/T/8 on turn.

However, I'm leaning towards fold, since if you raise, it needs to be at...

10NL: KQs flops 2P against a strange villain

I don't usually play KQ from early position. However, apparently once in a thousand hands something like this comes up. I know perfectly well that my hand needs to hit well on an ace-free flop to...

Re: When to shove this monsterdraw ? NL25

As already said, lead flop. It looks like a donkbet and you might get extra action => easier to get the money in.

I would raise the flop more, perhaps $5.5. CO made a PSB, button calls so they...

Re: 0.01/0.02 NL5 - Top pair + Nut Flush Draw in a Min-Raised Pot

I agree with Chargers. You want to look like you're protecting against a flush draw. The flop already gave you a playable hand, so if you are going to get any money out of your opponents, you really...

Re: 10NL: middle set threeways and a monotone flop, advice on turn

Yeah, so I did play it correctly. I shoved, villain tanked forever and folded with the time almost running out.

Must have been the archetype of the nit. After the hand I was just thinking that...

10NL: middle set threeways and a monotone flop, advice on turn

Flop was pretty easy, but how should I proceed on turn?

Re: 10NL: KK, lots of action preflop - line check

Very standard preflop shove. He has a pot sized bet left, and you are only behind AA. If he has that, so what.

You have to be willing to play for stacks preflop with KK.

AK may well...

Most of my QQ+ hands have gone uncontested lately, so getting this much action was an interesting change. I do believe I played this correctly, but improvement can only help.

Re: Stars NL FR table selection (Micros)

As others already stated, the fluctuation of players makes average pot size pretty irrelevant stat. That figure also seems rather heavily biased by the most recent pots, so all it tells me is that...

Re: $5NL -- Two Pair Problems

You have a hand that plays rather badly in multiway pots. So consider raising preflop, just to make sure that only villain calls. That also makes you the aggressor and allows to steal small pots on...

Re: NL20 - Flopping monsters, should I slow down sometimes?

In hand 1 you might want to slow, just for variety. It's a rainbow flop, so you are not worried about draws, other than 89s/QJs. You have top set on an extremely dry board so getting a free card can...

Re: 5NL -- Flop Trip Aces, Villain calls Bets, Do I Fold River?

Re: 10NL: QQ line-check

Re: C-bet sizing

*grunch*

I'd go as far as to say that c-bet size should vary according to the flop texture. It shouldn't be an obvious c-bet but look like any solid bet with a good hand.

Normally you want to...
