Re: Smooth Calling a 3-bet PF with AA
By slowplaying our hand PF we encourage him to play weaker hands more aggressively. That means we're not getting away from showing this down unless the board is way worse than this.
The advantage...

Re: Small Pair -
Preflop is terrible. Just fold here. There isn't enough money in the pot to want to isolate a good, tricky player like the one you describe with a marginal hand like 44. There is no good decision...

Re: Super standard ??
Any strategy that includes trying to face the field with two cold on this flop is bad. As stated by others, you don't want anyone folding here, since you're crushing everything except the flush draw...

Re: Easy 3 bet vs likely aggro spewtard
This is an interesting situation. I run into this all the time, where I have a very strong read but only a few hands to back it up. I like the 3-bet/calldown given the one hand you've seen this guy...

Re: A spew or sound acting on a read.

Re: River play.
Why did you check the flop? This seems like a much easier hand to play if you bet out here. As played I can't see not calling the river, he can't put you on a good K the way you played it.

Hand 1 I would bet the turn. Lots of draws and weak made hands are letting go of this for the double-sized turn bet, including overcards. Once you check the turn you aren't going to shake most live...

Re: Fold a Set for Just a Bet? Twice?
As played I call both hands. I prefer a check on the river in the first though. In the first hand, there is at least a reasonable chance that your opponent has 2-pair, if they were holding a...

I think this is a calldown situation. You are probably behind given his three bet preflop, and if you have enough of a read on his solid preflop play you might be able to get away, but the pot is...

Re: 78 Suited: Bet or take freebie
I think betting out is probably marginally profitable. You have enough of an equity edge to bet and hope for a couple callers if all your outs are good. The coldcallers in the hand are your only...
