Re: God I\'m so clueless 300bb deep

I don't like betting the river here without a clear idea of what you do if you're raised. It seems to me that he could easily have an 8 here, but also that a player like this may well bluff raise...

Re: can i call this river?

c/f the turn. He may be bluffing, but there are an awful lot of hands that beat you here, espacially as he may have been trying to c/r the flop.

Re: NL25: Flopped combo draw

I quite like a call here, unless you think he will keep firing without an ace. If he has an ace or a set you need to hit to win, and anything else he probably plans to c/f the turn. Also he'll be...

Re: I [censored] hate JJ

14 preflop, and then 35 into the (then) bigger pot seems good. Folding overpairs in reraised pots against 55/25s is not usually a good plan, and I don't see much that makes me change my mind here....

Re: flop top 2 but I fold

Read would be helpful, but on such a wet board I'm not folding here. Villain could have any pair with either a straight or flush draw, J9, Q9, any combo draw, or a flopped straight here. Almost...

Re: sd vs a raise

Preflop is fine, although folding is OK too. Flop is good. Turn is awful. C/f or betting 3/4 of the pot are both reasonable lines without a read - obviously villain has a 9 here some of the time. If...

Re: Overpair with 2 callers to the turn

Realistically, at this stage you can't say much about their ranges. I would imagine that they could have any pair - they both seem so passive preflop that they may well never 3bet, so they could have...

Re: Common River Spot I Still Struggle With

Call - I don't think most players check a better hand behind on the turn with straight and flush draws there. It's possible villain has sucked out on the river with a hand like 89, 99 or JT, but...

Re: JJ reraised pot line check

Impossible to say whether this is good without any information on villain. Against a lot of players, check/folding the turn is probably a better bet here, unless you know he likes playing suited...

Re: 400NL - Villain 3-bets from SB. What to do?

Anyone fancy giving me a range that I should be continuing with here preflop? What about if someone starts repopping my CO/Button raises more often? I feel its pretty exploitable to open a wide range...

400NL - Villain 3-bets from SB. What to do?

Early on in a session, I haven't played any big pots before this hand. Villain runs at 21/14/2.8 over 800 hands, and the only note I have is that he 3-bets preflop more than his stats suggest,...

Re: Small straight + redraw vs super agro. 3handed

If you plan to check/fold here, you shouldn't play this sort of hand, as it will rarely make the nuts - because all the cards are small you frequently make the small straight, small full houses and...

Re: Playing AAxx PF in position in a large raised multi-way pot

[ QUOTE ]
A 4-bet would be ideal to finally isolate and get the money in HU. However at those stakes I'm afraid I'd run into a similar AA maybe or maybe as a slight dog (e.g AAJTds is 32% to win,...

Re: Being a nit at low-stakes PLO: a shame?

I think passing 88 on an 8JJ board is pretty weak-tight, and that you should be repotting here. You may get an opponent with a J and weak kickers to lay down the hand, and getting it in against one...

Re: 600NL I know he has trips, so I push

I think this is bad because this is the same line I take with a boat here if I want to get paid. Seems like spew against an unknown.

Re: I hate JJ so much

Most people who are pretty readable/passive postflop don't shove here on a bluff. I find this line is often a monster - trip queens seem quite likely here.

Re: Baluga theorum tested (sql stuff)

You also need to take into account that two pair is often a result of a paired board, and that TPTK can still therefore be good in some cases where villain's hand is technically two pair. For...

Re: is it super standard to jam draws like this?

What else can you do? You are favourite against anything but a bigger flush draw or a set, and a lot of the cards that make your hand make it easy for a villain to get away from an overpair. If you...

Re: Straight and i couldn\'t play it. 4th and 5th st. difficulty

Check flop, because you have nothing ina 6 way pot.
Bet turn, because you have the nuts. Bet river, because only backdoor draws have hit, and its very unlikely villain called te flop with 69 or two...

Re: NL $100 His hand is Faceup but what line do I take?

Shove. I think he may fold a smaller overpair here sometimes. Does he definitely want to get it all in here with 99?

There are also too many cards that kill your action here. He isn't going to...

Re: AK the nuts. Fold against a shortstack?

How many hands do you have on villain? Aggression takes a lot longer than other stats to settle down to a reliable number. Unless you have 300+ hands, I wouldn't think of laying this down here.

Re: i read bdaws JJ post.

Checking the flop here is pretty bad, I think, because it is such a wet board. If villain does have a draw you need to charge him quite heavily here, as you won't be sure which turncards do and don't...

Re: NL200 - 97s vs TAG on FTP

Fold preflop both times, especially as you are out of position.

Only c/r all in on the flop if you think you have any fold equity here. I think you have very little, and you are better to play...

Re: Odd Live 1/2 NL hand. Make the big call preflop with 66??

I think this is probably pretty close, and a call is not too bad, given that you only need to win 28% of the time to make a profit. If the main villain makes this move with overcards as often as he...
