Blind Defense
$2/$5 NL game at local casino. I'm BB. CO is a regular blind stealer, and he raises every hand he plays from CO and Button no matter what happens in front of him. Three limpers, he raises to $25. ...

Tipping on the circuit
I've got a friend who works at the Borgata, and she was telling me the tips were extraordinarily poor from the top two finishers in the main event ($15k and $2500). From what she tells me, Mr....

Re: Live $50 tourney, line check
For me, this is a fold or raise situation. On ragged flops, I always see a blind take a stab at the pot. I'd really need more of a read to decide what to do. If I put him on overcards, I'd raise...

Re: SB Special Play Along
[ QUOTE ]
66 just made a straight and 88 made a set. Otherwise, you still beat 99 or TT or A7, but lose to everything else. Looks a lot like he's beating your 2-pair, so I'd fold. The board is...

Re: SB Special Play Along
My first note about this hand is you can't let other players determine your play... if you start playing the way they want you to play, then most likely you are playing right into their hands... if...

Re: Short stacked nearing bubble
The call is unmistakeably obvious. The thing is to try to push button off his hand. When I should do that is really the meat of the question.
The results, as suspected, are awful. I had...

I personally just call here. That small pot is nice, but I'd really like to work up a side pot with Hellmuth and the tricky player.
Early in a tournament, I'm looking to build up my stack. ...

Re: A river bluff raise with a decent hand
I like the way it played all the way through. I really don't understand questions about the turn call. Getting 4:1 to call with probably the best hand (often up against AK, AQ, KQ), you are ahead...

Re: Did I play this hand wrong??
It's sorta funny that you even have to ask about this hand. If you think about it, all your chips were going in at some point. If the chip leader was pushing a lot, he was going to push 99. And...

I believe I'm behind here, and have less outs than we may think. We are either against a set, JJ, or KJ. So, an 8, A,...

The turn check behind isn't to control the pot, it's to induce a call on the river with 2nd best hand. If Hero bets the turn, Villain may fold. However, if Hero checks behind, then it shows...

Re: AKo - TPTK
Looks good to me.
Turn check behind cuts off any possible check raise with A9 or a set. Check on the river after you checked behind on the turn is either an intricate attempt to induce a bet or...
