Re: Questions about the Orleans Poker Room

Thanks for the info. I probably should also say that I have been 'blessed' with a wife that LOVES the Sahara. She is the consumate $3 blackjack player and the Sahara was one of the few places that...

Re: Questions about the Orleans Poker Room/Follow up Question

Ok gang, I was thinking about suprising my wife with a trip to Las Vegas in February. The Orleans was high on my list but it looks like it has declined in reputation on this forum. Given that,...

Re: raise river?

You are indicating that the MP is loose pre flop. How about post flop? The questions is what kind of read do you have on him when it comes to raises and check raises. My first thought was King weak...

Re: Typical Small Stakes Overcard Spot

I like the betting option here because a)you don't want to give anyone a free card and b) lot of low limit players will call the flop with just about anything and fold the turn when the betting goes...

Re: Aces - checkraised on turn

I'm deviating from the other two respondees and thinking strongly about folding. The bluff checkraise is rare in low limit poker. It also depends on the other player in the pot. I am more likely to...

Re: Familypot

I think the answer is 'it depends.' It depends on how many players at the table you have a good read on, your previous observations etc. Lets say you flop a flush and get a bet and raise in front of...

Re: B&M 3/6, JJ with an A on the flop

Yes. Many low limit players will call with any ace. With that many players the likelihood that someone has an ace is strong. You also have a flush draw on the board with none of that suit in your...

Re: Observed hand...please comment

Pre Flop: He's playing QJs more agressively than I would but seems it's his style.

Flop: I like the lead. He potentially disguises his hand if the flush hits and gets called by smaller flushes. ...

Re: Don\'t you hate JJ sometimes?

I think you played both of them fine. I hand one your probably only get called by a hand that can beat you. I am curious about hand two. Would you have folded to a bet on the river? jb

Re: AQ turn decision in blind battle crypto 2-4

I probably should have said two 'clean' outs with the idea that Ah, Qh, As could complete the flush. There were actually 3 clean outs Qc, Ac, Qd. The point being that any of the first three could...

Re: JTo otb in straddled hand

I see your point about the implied odds and honestly I missed the part of the post where he indicates that the straddler caps. However, I still call. My experience is that players will raise a little...

Re: Top two pari with loose players giving action on the turn and river

The thing that makes this a little tricky is the middle position player. I would tend to discount him somewhat as low limit players down to their last few chips will put toss them in with just about...

Re: JTo otb in straddled hand

I'm with chesspain here. With this many callers JTo from late position is a prime play for me. The raise by the BB does not affect things in any way. Hands like JTo you ae looking for volume, hoping...

Re: 3/6 Online: 6 Max.Turn Dilema raise/fold or call down ?

I'd have to fold here. I'd have to put UTG1 on AJ at best, JJ at worst. What would UTG call that many bets with. A flush draw (that may have just got there) is about the worst with two pair or lesser...

Re: TT preflop Crypto 2-4 FR

Kit is right in that it depends on read and flop. GENERALLY, I lead at any flop that does not contain an ace or two overcards. JB

Re: First Hand Post my AA raised on flop - did I do the right thing

He also may have checked the turn because he was afraid you made a flush. I'm thinking he called bftf with 33 or 55. I think you were probably beat but with the pot that size I would call the river...

Re: 3/6 Online. Did villain improve on the turn ?

He didn't improve. He waited until the turn to bet the case ace. Depending on your read what you do. If I have no read on the player I check the river also...jb

Re: B&M 3/6 Flop Trip Aces, weak kicker

How would the Asian lady play 9's pre flop? I think your first instinct is right. I would 3 bet here. The action on the turn is going to be based on what happens after your three bet. If both players...

Re: $4/$8 B&M low set v coordinated board

I think you played it well. You will see a lot of goofy plays with pairs and busted draws with boards like this. Call the river for the reason you said, ie the pot is so big. I think, in most low...

Re: live 6/12, JTo BB, no pot until the turn

This is a tricker situation than it appears at first glance. On the one hand, the smaller the field the more likely I am to lead at the flop and see where I am. On the other hand, I seldom like to...
