Re: $50 NLTRN - two pairs vs possible straight
I doubt he's got a straight, that would've meant calling pre-flop with 24 - is villain that loose? To me it seems like he's got an Ace, maybe 2 pair, and is worried about the straight draw. A2 or A4...

Re: pf with aa nl cash
I'd probably reraise to 300. I think that way you'd get pushes from JJ+ and maybe AK/AQ, plus calls from cards that might fold to a push (eg. A10, KQ, etc). Hopefully he'll get a piece of the flop...

Re: 200NL cash TP + OESD turn decision
It's tricky with no reads, I'd guess he's got a K or maybe 2 pair. I don't fancy him as betting a flush draw (unless he's got a Kh as part of it). I'd probably call this and hope for a...

Re: $11 HU NLTRN dispute
He can't spell the word losing for one thing. And he sounds like a whiny dick.
I think there's definitely fold equity there, especially if he has something like A6 or A7 and is scared of A w/...

Re: 10$ HU SNG
Difficult to say without having seen previous hands, but it looks like he's got a 6 or a 7 or maybe something which gave him a draw from the flop, 8 9, 8 10, or nightmare scenario of 9 10.
Pot is...

Re: NLTRN Stars ($6+0.25) Turbo 3 hands vs tight
Hand 1 - Seems fine if you think villain is likely to fold to more aggressive play, presumably you managed to take half his stack? (Hold on, looking at Hand 2's stacks, did you split the pot?)

Re: Min raise on the button...
Typically players win a larger %age of pots in position, so maybe there's an argument that to arbitrarily increase the value of these is EV+? But I wouldn't say it's optimal strategy.
As far as...

Re: $5NL sng marginal push?
M is about 16. If you'd raised to 100 or so there'd be a fair chance of a fold (against some opponents) without having to risk your whole stack.

Re: preflop - worth a gamble? NLTRN

I don't think calling the Sb or making a small raise is an option with current stack vs blind level

Not even as a gambit to induce a shove?

Re: preflop - worth a gamble?
Actually I think this would be a marginal fold according to SAGE.
If he's doing it every hand then you'd need to work out what the chances are of having a stronger hand next time and whether or...

Re: NLTRN $20 Hand dump
Hands 1, 2 & 5 - Folding 1 & 2 and waiting to pick a spot to reraise seems solid play. I'd agree with Raiseren1 re the bet size & Soop on calling down, reraising river (depending on the opponent).

Re: Building a roll playin h2h (HUSNG)
If you want to make a living playing HU, I reckon the long term goal should be a 60% win rate at $100 SNGs, or maybe even higher. To do this I think it's more sensible to move up levels once you're...

Re: +EV or not?(HUTRN)
Ok, so it's +EV to push and I see the merits of that play, but it's also +EV to call, when you consider the implied odds.
120 chips to call gives you a 12/47 chance of hitting and taking down a...

Here's an interesting hand, a lesson in how not to play pocket rockets. I was the big blind in this, but thought I'd relate it from my opponent's POV.
Blinds are 10 & 20
