Re: flush against huge donkey on a trips board

Turn bet is fine I guess. I would probably do it myself at the table. But I don't like preflop at all. If the table is passive I'd rather limp. There's no guarantee that a raise will isolate the...

Re: 100NL Play with KQo against LAG OOP

I would rather call than 3-bet preflop. And if I did I would make it 20.
As played flop is standard. A slightly smaller bet is fine too.

Re: [100NL] AA, overpair on flop - standard?

It's not a good move just because it's aggressive. You don't WANT to push him off a lot of hands. And you don't need to 3-bet for meta-game, he won't figure it out anyway.

I hate every street except maybe the flop.

Re: 200NL: QQ in re-raised

Against that kind of player I would 4-bet preflop most of the time, but a call is fine too.
On the flop I really like a min-raise. It's big enough that he doesn't get odds to call with AK, and it's...

The difference btw 80 and 110 here is only 8 BBs....doesn't betting 110 instead of 80 increase our FE dramatically?

Re: Riverpush w/ AK justified?

I would raise flop to ~70-75. Also I would raise turn to ~90-100. And AI on river is fine imo. The hands that beat you are KT, TT and slowplayed monsters. I think he calls with worse enough.

Re: 200NL Bad River Card

How can this be anything but a fold?
He has AQ, AJ, AT, A9, Axcc or perhaps a 9 almost every time.
He's not turning a made hand into a bluff.

With more history I would some of the time. But with just the reads from OP, never.

Re: combo draw vs unknown

I think if we really had a good enough hand to CRAI for value, it would be bad to give a free card by checking. So it looks weird if we do that, and he might call us with TT, 99 or pair of 8s.

Re: Big fold with top pair and nfd

Since there are a lot of good arguments here for both sides and still no conclusion, I decided to make some calculations. Hopefully they will help a little.

If he always has a set and pays off...

Re: Fold your boat sir.

I think it's probably EV+ to go AI, but I think it's better to bet whatever amount he will think is a bluff to make him fold a board split. Probably a small bet, but it could also be closer to pot...

Re: AJ vs donk

I don't see the point in three-betting the flop, when all it does is take away his opportunity to bluff the turn.
The only draw we should be afraid of is a wheel draw, and that's 4 outs. I think...

Re: AJ vs donk

Definitely not b/3/b with this history. If you think it will be EV+ to call an AI on turn, think for a bit, and call flop. He will sense weakness and try to push you off your hand more often on turn....

Re: Second pair any good here? [200NL]

This is very often trip 9s +, trying to get value from your ace.
He could also be betting an ace, since he knows you're almost never ahead of him. You could fold a split or call with a worse hand,...

Re: 54s vs. Reg

Everything before river c:r is standard obviously.
At first I liked your fold, but after thinking about his probable hands, I think he has J8 or a bluff too often to fold. You're probably beat, but...

Re: 100NL JJ 3-way-pot overpair

This is an easy call. He has a draw almost always. If he had a bigger pocket he would have played it differently preflop, and if he had had a set he would have c/r:ed.

Re: 200 NL, baby flush from the BB, what\'s my best line?

Why do you hate to fold after a 3-bet? If you make your raise to about 38, I don't think he'll reraise you with a worse hand very often. Also you want to charge his flush draws, he will call with...

Re: 57o in Blind Steal Situation Deep

I don't think the hand was horribly played. But I would play it a bit differently. I wouldn't always call this pf, but whatever. On the flop I would only call mostly, and if I raised I would only...
