Re: Blind steal turns into marginal hand
Personally, I think it is entirely appropriate to check the flop here for pot control. I don't think betting the flop is bad either, I think either play is defendable. It really depends on your...

Re: Rules for Poker Tracker
I do something similar except I apply a filter to the levels of the blinds. For example, on Pokerstars I play a lot of the rebuy tourneys. Obviously the way someone plays changes a lot between...

Re: Test your hand-reading ability...
Ok, now I will tell you hero's hole cards: they are 98 of diamonds, with the ten of diamonds on the board.
Do you bluff all-in after villian's minraise? Is that an awful play?

Test your hand-reading ability...
This hand comes from a $22 rebuy on Pokerstars. About a third of the field remains, you have T20,000, which is about average. Button has T16,800. Blinds are 300/600. No reads on button --- Hero...

Re: How useful do you find combinations ?
Sorry, Alan, but this is just plain wrong. This is what you need to look at:
1) What is the prior distribution of hands my opponent could have had? This is where the combinations come into play....

Re: Am I folding this AJ to a shove?
Nope, once you raise preflop, you are committed to calling his reraise, there is no "safe" amount to reraise.
But reraising an EP raiser here is just simply bad poker. If he calls you are in bad...

Re: QQ very early in stars million gtd
Ok, I am going to disagree with everyone else here. I think you played the hand perfectly, and betting the flop is overrated. How is betting the flop going to get you information? Suppose you bet...

Re: God I Hate Flat-Callers
I would expand the likely hands that uclabruinz suggested as follows (remember he checked his BB preflop):
Any J,T,2
KQ,98,22-99
Out of these, the only hands you are behind on the turn are: ...

Re: Calling From The Big Blind
Keep in mind that flopping two pair or trips (or a straight) is not even a good result here, as if you get action in these cases it is likely that you are second best! These hands are stack-killers...

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 2A Sweat
I have an ideal draw for day 2 --- table 164, seat 2 (I am James Cox, with 42,075). No pros at my table (unlike day 1, where I was at the featured table with 5 full-time pros including Phil Hellmuth...

Re: Flop Decision w/ Bottom Two Pair
There is absolutely no reason to push this hand, you are in-position. There are a lot of hands he could hold here:
The ones that currently are ahead of you are:

Re: So you want to play LAG?
You "float" in-position. That is, you call his flop bet and see what he does on the turn. Most players will not fire two barrels without something (or if they do, the second barrel is a small one)....

I just don't see this kind of play made very often by a decent player with just overcards. You might, but it looks too much like someone trying to see if their hand is good. If they have overcards...

Re: Shaniac Min-Check-Raises Me
This is actually a great play by Shaniac. The bet is a small gamble by him, but can look really scary to you. If you call it, half your stack is in which does not give you odds to call an all-in...

Re: Shortstacked 99 in big blind facing raise
