Re: Super standard ??

I don't think you want to face this field for two cold when you have flopped top set! Two bets will in this monster pot will not protect you from the flush draw which is your biggest concern. It...

Re: Whats the rule?

Thanks, Pants...but I think it was Mr. Rick who first introduced the $24 raise in this thread.

I would also like if there would be positive confirmation that the minimum raise would be based on...

Re: Whats the rule?

OK, I am confused and don't play a lot of NL. The $26 bet was the original bet post-flop. On this round, the minimum bet was $2, right, the amount of the BB. But after the original bettor this...

Re: $20 Trick at the Wynn

Thanks for the information so far...especially the link.

I had forgotten, but you are right, this conference that I attend in Vegas always does overlap with the Rodeo. Hope the poker tables are...

Re: was $ left on the table?

Villian in hand two has either the combo diamond flush/gut shot straight draw, or more likely with his bet into the large field on the river KQ of diamonds.

Re: Is this foldable for one bet?

Question 1-

I am thinking that this is a raise or fold situation. If you think the bettor is bluffing, you want the third player to fold his non-spade K or small flush. For this play to be +EV,...

Re: Getting into the math of slowplay

I like betting this flop, too. If we raise preflop and whiff -- say the same flop but we raised preflop with AJo -- aren't we c-betting to try and take it down right on the flop? If we are betting...

Re: 3/6 Live: Too aggressive on turn?

I agree. It seems to me that the cap on the turn is exactly the right play. The only time it is wrong is if the villian is 3-betting with air.

Given his pre-flop and flop betting pattern, he...

Re: 3/6 Live; JTo OTB, with a Great, but scarey flop

In retrospect, I think I missed the bet on the river, as I checked behind. Given HU against the PFR, there was a very limited chance that he had a diamond. However, live at the table, the 10...

Folding to the c/r is mandatory.

Really? The pot will have 17-18 BB at that point. The BB was the PFR. What diamond can you put him on? I think given his PFR and...

Re: 3/6 Live; JTo OTB, with a Great, but scarey flop

The pot was large and I didn't think a raise from the button would do anything to protect my hand on the flop. However, there are 19 scare cards out of the unknown 47 that could sink this hand. ...

Re: 3/6 Live; JTo OTB, with a Great, but scarey flop

I must not have been clear.

The BB raised preflop, then led the flop. It is just one bet to me on the button.

The question is whether to raise the flop or just call.

By the way, the...

3/6 Live; JTo OTB, with a Great, but scarey flop

Live 3/6 this past weekend. The table seems relatively loose passive with one or two solid players and no maniacs at the time of this hand. Hero has black JTo OTB. There are about 5 limpers to me,...

Re: Live 3/6 TT on the BTN / Potawatomi: RESULTS

James' advice would have been the best to follow. I ended folding the turn with the action into me (after raising both pre-flop and on the flop.)

Of course, the diamond ten came on the river. ...
