Re: Push or c/f when pf stealing get called?

I agree with the other posters. One comment - he called your raise with a pretty crappy hand OOP. Did you have any reads on this guy as really loose? Or maybe have you been really aggressive so...

Re: Boy on the Bubble and flops two pair...Pull trigger?

I like the play.

Just for another take, if the OP had been the Button in this case (with 99), what would the comments be?

I'm thinking that if you are going to get all in with 99 regardless (as...

Re: $6 Stars Big Decision

[ QUOTE ]
UTG is desperate, so he will shove really wide.
Therefore SB can shove over pretty wide also.
At least with high aces, medium pairs and KQ, so around A8+, 66+, KQ+, depending a bit on...

your hand is likely to be best but isn't dominant.

No. AQ is bad news. Especially with all the raises and re-raises.

Re: Good Fold or playing too tight?

Why the lower raise? It seems to me you are giving good odds to everyone to call, which means you don't eliminate any players. I would think that being out of position, you would either call or...

Re: Make a Move or Wait???

BTW, the end result was that my read was correct in this case - he had A4o - but he called anyway and held up to win the hand and knock me out.

I guess what was bugging me afterward was that the...

Re: Make a Move or Wait???

I guess I was trying to look at this from his point of view - I thought my fold equity was actually relatively high.

You raise from early position with a mediocre hand (let's say A8 or KJ). The...

Make a Move or Wait???

OK - $5 buy-in STT at Full Tilt. We are 60+ hands in and the table still has 7 people - not the usual all-in fest. Blinds are becoming uncomfortable for me. I won a couple of small pots early, but...

Re: 60$ - JJ vs unknown

Let me give this a try. I like the check-fold on the turn. Assuming the other player is not stupid, let's say his possible holdings after the flop are:

AA/KK/AK (unlikely, since the normal play...

Re: AJ with Limpers in front, short stack

RESULTS: I shoved, as you guys recommended. UTG folds, CO calls with KTs, and my hand holds up to take the pot.

Re: TT vs Re-Raise and Call...

RESULTS: I re-raised all-in. The BB folded. The button turns over a surprising 87s, and I take down the pot as a big favorite.

Re: $16 - 25/50, AQs w/ flopped flush draw

I like it as played. You have to give him credit for a hand after his call on the flop, which makes this easier to play when you miss your draw. If you check the flop and he leads out on the turn,...

Re: 16$ : QQ, overpair on a very drawy flop

Ouch. Tough flop for your queens. My two cents:

I would bet the flop, although I'd probably make it half the pot. It's enough to see if anyone is interested in playing, and if they are you are...

Re: A couple of hands from my last tourney i want to discuss (vol 1)

Hand 1 - Call. I thought about the push, but I think it is likely that one or both of the first two callers has a small pair. At this point, you can see the flop and make a play if you pair your...

Re: FT hand AQo vs possible resteal

Tough decision. I'm worried about the UTG player. It looks like you are deep in the tourney, so I would assume he's not an idiot. If the CO has been re-stealing, I have to think he's noticed and...

Re: TT vs 2 All-Ins PF

RESULTS: When the UTG player went all in, I was still debating whether or not to call the button. Once he called, it iced the fold for me.

The other two players in the hand folded. Button turns...

Re: Questionable All-In with QJ

RESULTS:

I called his raise, and he turned over ATo. The board ended up with a straight and we split the pot.

Re: Questionable All-In with QJ

Thanks for the advice. As posted in my AT thread, I normally would have dumped this hand, but I've been trying to be a bit more aggressive - it looks like I need to pick my spots better.

Re: Low on Chips, Play with AT?

For reference, I was really hoping to isolate the UTG player. I felt I had a good chance at having the better hand, since he had played so many hands and just limped here. I figured that if I got...

Re: TT vs 2 All-Ins PF

That was the other question I forgot in my original post - does your answer change if the UTG player folds?
