Re: Luring tells
Haha! Well, Btmagnet, it's not exactly like that! With practice, you can tell if someone is comfortable or not. They may say, 'I'm feeling great.' They may say, 'I be feeling better if you folded.'...

Maybe it's because most people play their poker on the internet nowadays but I haven't seen much about tells, body language and psychology on this forum yet.

There is also the theory that if you raise and get called preflop with a hand like T8s, you will actually make more money when you hit your straights and your trips and what-have-yous because your...

Re: Ranking of AK among best starting hands
To answer your query as to why you find AK harder to play than 22 it's because most of the time 22 is useless after the flop and can be chucked away. Easy.
You can get trapped with AK if you don't...

Re: Over-betting Aces a good or bad idea?
I don't mind going all-in pre-flop early in a tournament but I'm not going to actively push for it because I like to be more certain I'm going to win. With AA, you know you're ahead (and going all-in...

Re: KK on weird board...value bet it?
It seems to me he has no reason to think you are going to bet after his check on the river. After all, you weren't firing on the turn. I don't think he'll check-raise. I think he wants you to check...

Re: 2/4 NL tough spot with QQ
I know why you might say 'squeeze play' here. But it's also a standard play for AA or KK (considering his 4x blind raise, it's consistent with a big pp). Its either push or fold by the looks of it....

Re: Over-betting Aces a good or bad idea?
In turbo tournaments, where the blinds go up way too quickly, I have a tendency to go all-in in the earliest rounds whenever I'm given AA (as long as there are still a fair few people in the pot)....

Re: Folding pocket pairs
I think the player you were up against was just a bad one. Obviously, the flat call pre-flop was bad. He thought he had the best hand on the flop. And you can see why. But when you re-raised and an...

Re: So I Flopped a Flush.......
A 3-bet is smart. He likely is on a nut flush draw and you need to give him bad odds. If he calls, you have to tighten up. If he pushes, you have to fold.
With his reaction on the river, it was...

Re: Aces versus paired flop
A donk will definitely call in the blinds with 9x. Sometimes you have to fold AA and this is the time to do it. You have to beat these guys in small pots or with the nuts. Be patient and fold hands...

Re: One hand - two questions
Also, I don't c-bet a multiway pot. My plan on the turn would be to see if my opponents bet. If they did, I would fold. If they did not, I would bet.

Re: I\'m bluffing when I missed my set
What are the chip stacks?
I can see why you might be happy to bet on this flop but I don't see why you should let yourself be put into this situation unless you have really deep stacks.
