Re: check through the turn?
Thanks for the input guys - I guess this is a pretty standard one.
Results:
I bet the turn, SB calls. River is an offsuit Q and I check it through. SB takes it down with A4o, no club. I was...

Re: weird turn play confuses me...
Thanks everyone for the input - I figured I should have raised the turn (hence the "screwed the pooch" comment). Really, it was the combination of the possibility that BB just made a straight (his...

Re: management argue
I just can't see how it could not be 1500.
Suppose it goes like this:
A bets $500, B raises to $1000, C goes all-in for $1499 total, D calls $1499.
A now has the option to raise $1? (And in...

Re: flop top two, get major resistance
I'd put villain on QJ/Q4s/J4s/44 (it sounds like he's loose enough to cold-call with virtually any two suited?). If he's not too passive, he really shouldn't have JJ or QQ here. Even with this as...

Re: Did I misplay every street?
I'd 3-bet the flop. As others have pointed out, lags love to go to war on the flop with little, and you may still be able to get in a turn c/r. As played, I might even donk the turn - against aggro...

Re: River raise with top 2
I like the river raise a lot - you'll get a lot of crying calls out of AK or KJ/KT type of hands.

Re: Caught in the middle.
Fold the flop. Even if everything goes perfectly (everyone calls and no one caps), you are effectively getting 9:1 when you call the two back to you. Usually this would be enough to draw to your...
