Re: Turn a straight flush. Need more value.
I didn't realize you tried the converters and none of them worked. What poker site did you play this hand on? I don't know if anyone is actively working on the converters and might be able to add...

Re: Turn a straight flush. Need more value.
First off, you'll get more replies if you use a hand converter and include the hand within the post. One, people don't like to visit another site to view the hand, and two, the site you used does...

Re: AKs - cash game player giving MTTs a go
9xBB raises are often decent pairs (QQ-88) not wanting to see a flop, but it could be trash or AA/KK trying to build a pot quickly, Hard to put villian on a hand, but one thing you can say is that...

Re: Contention of Snyder\'s \"Very Short\" hands
I haven't read the book, but based on your post, I definitely disagree with his suggestion. Many two face card hands are ok for trying to steal in an unopened pot, but are not very good for a...

Re: Oop semibluff late in NL $109
I failed to take into account that he called your PF raise with only 15 BBs. I think his calling range is tighter than you listed. I can see the average villian calling with AJs or KQs, but I think...

Re: 77 Overpair + Gutshot
With straight and flush draws on the board, and no one having raised pre-flop, you have every reason to think your 77 is good on the flop, and it's a vulnerable hand, so I like the flop bet.
I...

Re: Oop semibluff late in NL $109
I don't hate the play. You hope for check/check and a chance to see a free turn, and you have plenty of outs if he hit the flop, but I think his stack is too small for this to be optimal. Some...

Re: Help me with the end game.
I think your play is +EV and you just got unlucky. If he had raised to 18000, I think you can see a flop, get it in on an A or T high flop or flush draw and dump it otherwise.
With the raise...

Re: 4.40 with barely an overpair..
It's three handed, you likely have the best hand on the flop, and if you give a free card, almost every turn card is bad for you. These are all reasons that you need to bet the flop instead of...

Re: 4.40 with barely an overpair..
I think he probably checks turn with a 6. But he's not that likely to have a 6 anyway (he was pre-flop raiser). Preflop let's put him on most likely having two broadway or a pocket pair.
He's...

Re: 2 oop AK hands
What stakes are these at? Villians seem to be calling light.
At the stakes I play ($11-$33), I tend to make smaller PF raises with AK, especially early in the tourney, because the blinds really...

Re: Pocket AA early...push on not
Push is fine regardless of buyin. There was already about 900 in the pot, so you want to get your money in the middle with AA. If villian has KQ/KK/QQ/44 so be it.
Checking the flop isn't as...

Re: straight?
I've never played a deep stacks tourney, but since you're below average, I think you play for your stack here and push. The pot is too big and the board too dangerous to slowplay with a call.

Re: Final Table AQ push...painfully ABC...right?
Seeing as how the chip leader has you outchipped 4 to 1, and there are a few other big stacks, you're going to have to gamble to give yourself a decent shot at top 3.
I think you have to push. I...

Re: Looking for help with Math
Getting back to the OP's question, first calculate the pot odds. There is 8850 + 3950 = 12800 in the pot, and it's 3950 to call. Dividing 12800 by 3950 is a little over 3, so the pot is laying you...

Looking at the hand from Yang's point-of-view, why is it so obvious that Childs is weak? He's leading into the preflop aggressor, and it's not a tiny bet (a 60% pot lead OOP into the PFR doesn't...
