Re: SSHE in AC?
The concepts apply fairly well to limits at the pink chip and below. Never played higher so can't speak to it. Each individual game is different though. Sometimes a 4/8 game has 7 players preflop...

Re: Hand Quiz: Call or Fold?
Can you elaborate on the "really bad?" Is betting for information no good? If he had come over the top why would I risk my remaining stack early in the tournament on top pair. Even with a good kicker.

Re: Hand Quiz: Call or Fold?
Thanks Nogatsira,
I like your last comment. The oop preflop raise really made me believe he had a strong hand like a pair as this is what I find in online play. To be honest I didn't even think KJ...

Re: Hand Quiz: Call or Fold?
In hindsight it is a stupid value bet. Maybe a habit from limit holdem. But after the guy checks twice shouldn't I think my hand is good?
After two checks I had him on QQ. It was after the all in...

Re: This makes me want to choke a dude
Choke him. Not at all. I would thank him. I've seen this type of play several times. Once some guy flopped a set and didn't reraise me with my TPTK Q. Another time a guy flopped a straight. Yes I...

Re: Simple hand. 40/80 Live
There's no reason not to bet the turn. You have at least 11 outs. Even if you are raised you still have the correct odds to call. Another A might fold increasing your chances if an A hits the river....

A live 3/6 game tends to be passive. What is your read on this player? Against an aggressive player you haven't really learned anything when you bet in this situation as he will raise regardless. A...

Re: Important No Limit Holdem Tourney Question
With the blinds, the raiser and the other caller there is 1500 in the pot. You are getting 2.5-1. A call of 600 would put 2100 in the pot. With this much in the pot it is possible that the big blind...
