Re: How to play against LAGs?
I think the key is to be willing to go to showdown with most of the hands you're involved in with him. Don't worry too much about raising if you have a marginal hand. Just be willing to call down...

Re: 16: 2pair vs monster board
Jeez, this is a tough one.
My first thought right here is actually to keep the pot small.
I think that I might bet t100, knowing a flush draw will call, then trying to bet the draw out on the...

Re: $6 two pair flop, downhill from there
I would check and call any bet t200 or smaller. This early in the tourney you'll see Axo where the A is a heart and the X is jack s**t sometimes, maybe enough to make it worthwhile. I don't see...

I really don't like making big bets with the nut flush draw. His 1/2 pot was perfect. You want to encourage other flush draws to call, or to CR allin.

Re: $16: Wait until SB to die on bubble?
Ugh. Problem is SB is pushing in here when he just called in the SB; if he just called there rather than push he was looking to make some kind of a hand before committing his chips. It doesn't seem...

Re: 16: JJ bet out or check/fold set value only?
From the stacks and blind levels it looks like he eliminated someone else early. Is he especially aggressive? Has MP1 called a few raises already? If both were true I might consider reraising...

Re: PP 33 speed: AKs postflop donk play
I don't know about the check-raise all-in play. For one thing, there's only one player left to act behind you, and no guarantee he'll bet. Also, you wouldn't be getting the odds to call a push...

Re: stars 3$ turbo, KQs played wrong?
I think folding this would be pretty tight. What kind of hands would limp UTG? Assuming he's an average player (or above average for these levels) it's probably a low-mid pocket pair or Axs,...

Re: River c/c or thin value bet??
Not being able to fold to a raise, I would just check-call the river.
I do think bet/fold is the correct move against normal opponents, but I hate assuming my opponent is normal if I don't know...

Re: Toppair against a raise 1/2
I'm usually 3betting here, and leading the turn. If raised I call down, but I don't expect villian to raise the flush draw on the flop given his position. With this line I would fold to a turn...

Re: Toppair against pf raiser
To stay on the river topic, the check-call is a good play when you put your opponent on some sort of draw that would fold the river if you bet it, but may bet if checked to, hoping you would fold,...

Thanks for that analysis. So I guess the checkraise is good if I'm pretty sure I can get it, but I won't always be as lucky on the flop action as I was. Cool.

Re: More Fun w/ 88
I think donking the turn just gets better hands to call down, once the second 5 hits, especially with a passive player.
I agree with betting the flop; it doesn't look like he's the type to raise...
