Re: AA deep 5/10 3bet

is villain more likely to fast play flopped set or smooth call. other than set, nothing makes sense that he would have raised and then called rr preflop and then connected on flop, so given low...

omaha high

I just played my first small Omaha game, and I just want to be clear on one point. Do you have to use 2 cards from your hole cards, so for example, if you have the As and no other spades in the hole...

Re: 2.5 barrels OOP party 3/6

i'm pretty new to NL after playing a lot of limit and from my brief experience, isn't blind defense pretty useless in deep stack NL, as the blinds are such a small percentage of the total pot and...

as many have already commented, without more info about the table, position and specific hands, it is hard to critique how you played. However, I did notice that you seem to automatically assume...

Re: 5/10 middle pair, is turn raise here a good idea

after getting to watch the villain play a bit more later on, I think he checked a K, (not intending to c/r but to slow play), because in later hands, whenever he made a move, it was on the turn

Re: crappy KK hand($200nl)

I only recently came to no limit from limit (10/20 and 5/10) but I certainly wouldn't call a substantial pf reraise and then another substantial flop bet, with an overcard with a mid pair. I don't...

Re: AQ on the button vs raiser and caller; everyone bets the flop

Would anyone consider it too weak to fold pf. With a raiser and a cold caller,(and a limper), even if you 3 bet there is a very good chance at least one of the blinds plays and maybe the limper, so...

Re: 5/10 QQ river fold

against villain's stats, this is an easy turn fold. I would have actually check/fold the turn after he called the flop bet. With his stats, I think he only 3 bets with AA,KK and a strong A, and...

Re: Turn decision, blind battle - AT

I think raise is important to protect your hand as well. In a blind battle, villain could easily have Kx and you need to charge for the gutshot as well

Re: 54 sooooted: Now with more passivity

I can understand going for the flop c/r but I think the passivity on the turn is a big mistake. You have a big hand, 4 flush and a pair, so even if someone has an unlikely 3rd A (given no pf action,...

Re: K7s......for fun.

I agree that it is a call, but because your hand is very strong. I don't think you want to raise and knock out the other players. You want to call, and get other callers. Then I would bet or...

Re: General question for new to Short Handed (No hand)

that certainly makes sense. i guess i was at a pretty loose aggressive preflop table tonight. there were 2 guys who were 40/25 type players and another 30/20 type, so there were a lot of open...

Re: General question for new to Short Handed (No hand)

I understand needing to value bet more, as the quality of hand that wins will be lower in short handed, but why would I want to call more as opposed to raising post flop. If hand values are lower,...

Re: bad fold of KK?

he called your flop raise (after a pf raise) and check raised 2 opponents on the turn. as much as I hate laying down kk with no A on the board, i think you made the right play

Re: 5/10 J6s

I think c/r here as many have stated makes a lot of sense and probably what I would do. Where I have trouble is on the turn. If we don't fold out everyone but the pfr, I think we check fold pretty...

Re: New to 10/20...Loose aggressive game...AA hand

if it were a tight game, then maybe limp reraise from UTG but in a loose aggressive game, you don't need to worry about folding it around with your UTG raise, so raise it and hope to get 3 bet and...

Re: quick preflop checkup

i agree it is a call (for me, because it is suited, unsuited I fold), but I do think domination is definitely an issue, because a lot of MP will cc with AQ off
