Re: Tennis Matches Fixed?
Davydenko is playing again today against another Russian, Youzhny. Sharp books (Pinny, Betfair) make Youzhny a small favourite, but square books may still rate Davy.
I can't believe how little...

This thing stinks to high heaven. Davydanko opened as a 1/7 favorite, which is about right for the number 4 player in the world against a relative nobody. By the time the match started he wasn't...

Are any details known about what this guy was betting?

Re: too carefull?
This is a crying call if ever I saw one. A weak tight player will almost never lead out here without the nuts. You're screwed, but you obv can't quite fold either.
Not sure if it's correct,...

Would it be poor to just call PF if raise come from UTG 5 handed? I don't think so. So how bad can it be to just call from one position closer? Gets back to that concept about how creating correct...

Re: hahahaha, ok buddy
He has AA or KK. When you quickly call his check raise he gets spooked and realizes he's behind, thus the river check. c/r on turn was just retarded, but people overplay AA all the time. Bet the...

Re: find a fold?
Personally, I need AQ or better to raise this PF. If villain is typical decent player, his range UTG 4 handed is A9 up, so AJ is not good enough for a raise IMO. I would then fold to one bet on the...

Re: Common 4 straight situation.
As usual in a shorthanded game, knowing your opponent is everything. Key question is: "Is this guy capable of bluffing at this pot?" If yes, you should check the turn, else bet.
Most likely...

Re: QQ get\'s donked on river in big pot.

Re: Weaktight goes crazy, I fold top pair.

I'm definitely in the c/r flop camp. A player with his stats will often give up right there, and if he 3bets then you can fold the river. As played, it's a must call. WAY too many hands he could...
