Re: Two spots same hand same villain within 5min
hand one is an ugly spot. I really don't like your raise PF. You don't price anyone out of the hand, and you don't define any hands at all. The only thing you did was build a pot that you are going...

Re: The JESUS Draw... All-in
I don't like the pf play... either raise or fold IMO. As played, if effective stack is $500 (which is how it was written unless I missed somthing) then I like every street. If effective stack is $700...

The one thing that I am wondering about is your table image. Have you 3-bet out of the blinds recently? Have you 3-bet anything recently?
Most games this size for most players your line is...

Re: Good Fold or playing too tight?
I just got back into playing SNG's online, (stopped when Party went away) but since I started with the 5.50's on UB, I have found that the "bet pot" button is pretty much an all purpose friend for PF...

Re: Good Fold or playing too tight?
FWIW, I would have done exactly what you did... only possible difference is a slightly smaller raise, but likely would have tried to make it as pricey as you did.
BTW, WTH did they have there? KQ...

Thanks for the info. I know online plays differently than live, but I couldn't imagine seeing that play (call two raises from SB then push any J) in a live game more than once a month. Maybe AJ, but...

Re: 5/10 Live, Flop top pair out of bb
Depends a little bit on your goal here, but almost always c/f here. Any decent size bet commits you. What calls that you are ahead of? A starge combo-draw?

Re: Live 5/5NL Turn Set Bad Board
How much does the SB have? How much does the BB have? How many players to act after you? Do you have any reads on how these players to this point? Why would you not push here?

Re: river bet size 5/10
Not sure about the river, but why no bet on the turn? Facing a C/C on the flop, and that turn couldn't have helped him. Curious to know why you didn't, but I'd bet $300-$350 at the turn.

Re: Live 5/10 deep -- call or shove
I agree, bump it about $1000-1200 more. I might even suggest $1500 more since you have the LAG pushing the action with such small bets.
Either way, don't let another card peel off cheap, make...

Re: Middle Set - Standard?
I like your play here, only suggestion is to open for a raise. But it is a personal pref, and I probably open limp once every 10-20 hrs of play. In general I hate an EP open-limp.
After 2 rounds...

Do you often bump up your opening raise with hands like JJ or was this a factor of the limpers ahead of you?
Important to think about, because your line screams over-pair, and the...
