Re: Should I have called the floor?

[ QUOTE ]
Floor will do little, and guy with AQo was likely calling no matter what. Off topic but as it is, shoving in this spot isn't great.

I probably wouldn't call the floor...

Re: Who is folding Bottom Set deep?

Reads would be nice.

The fold is probably fine, but telling the table that you folded a set is not a good idea.

Re: ($24) TPGK, going broke?

I'm not calling the turn when he checkraises allin. Check/folding the turn is too weak, but going broke like this is unnecessary too.

Re: $6.50s - AQs Flop against minraise

I'd bet 200 on the flop. Your bet was too big.

As played, I guess you can shove. I haven't played too many 6.50s, so I'm not sure.

Re: $27: Top set in unraised pot

I'd probably bet 60 on the flop, but I can see the value of checking.

I definitely raise the turn. You don't have too many more chances to get your money in. You didn't flop top set to pick...

Re: $16: QJ (2 hands)

I'd usually check flop in #1.

After you bet the flop, calling the min-raise is ok, I guess. It depends on read. When he fires again on the turn, I'm folding. It's too expensive to go...

Re: $16: KJ (2 hands)

1. push. You should be able to sngpt this.
2. fold. Just pretend he went allin and calc it. I think fold.

Re: $16: AQ (3 hands)

1. Yuk, but fine. A lot of times I'll just call in this spot PF, but I'm in the minority on that.

2. Folding is fine. I could also make a case for calling or shoving depending on reads.

Re: $16 - betting out with overpair against 5

Bet 100 and re-evaluate on the turn. You probably have the best hand, but a lot of cards hurt you. Bet 100 and hope the button folds so you have position on the turn and river. I would never...

Re: Few SNG Hands..(1+2 of 1000)

I fold the first hand. Generally, if someone make a big bet that makes no sense, I'm folding. If he's a bad player, you'll find a bet spot than this.

2nd hand...I'm not sure what to do. If...

Re: $60 - another AJ this time vs. scary minreraise

I don't think you can call this without a better read. I've been much happier since I've stopped calling bets like this.

Re: $6.5 TT Facing all in from shorty.

Push. There's no way you are behind his range, and calling is pointless. You cannot call for 1/2 your stack without AA/KK.

Re: $5.50 Non nut flush on bubble

I don't like the fold. In a 5.50, it's hard to put him on the nuts. You've already put 40% of your stack in, so there's no way I could get away from it now.

Re: (78) Incredibly mundane TPNK hand.

I don't like the flop call at all. If he wants those 60 chips that badly, he can have them, IMO.

Normally, I would've just bet out 50 on this flop and go from there.
