Is raising this flop really the best choice? The only logical reason for raising this flop is to pump it up. Nobody is folding to a flop raise here. The worst odds you're laying is the 15-2 to the...

$2/$4 - 8 handed
The table has been fairly tight most hands not making it to the showdown. BB had played to this same pattern, tight and passive.

Re: 100NL - Top 2 pair, multiway pot... WTF??
UTGs play might not be what most would call intelligent or good poker play, but that doesn't mean we should assume he can't have a big hand and just not played it optimally. I think UTG screams JJ...

Re: TPTK on a paired board against a monkey
I am curious as to why you checked the river. If villian calls everything, what about your flop and turn bets being called caused you to check on the 6. While a 6 could have hit a 78, that's about...

Re: limp raising AA utg
I think the problem with checking the flop is that you've already given your hand away, why would you now give a free card away to a guy that knows what you likely hold? I personally hate limp...

Re: 9,000 hands at $0.02 poker stars
10.33/100 is solid. I know $36 doesn't sound like much, but you're playing for pennies. So think of it as $3600 if you were playing for dollars! I know it's not the same, but that's a very solid...

Re: Did I lose too much on this hand?
I don't understand people saying raise more pf? Isn't standard size raising 3-4X BB+1 for every limper? That's what our hero did, 3X+1 for every limper.

Re: NL50 Am I too weak tight?
If the reason we aren't raising is that we want to extract value when we are good, not because we fear we are beat, then don't we have to either bet the turn or at least call the river? What value is...

Re: NL50 Am I too weak tight?

Re: Flush vs Possible Full House?
I think fold. You have no reads. You played the hand exactly like a flush is likely too (calling the flop, raising the turn) and villian is still willing to push (for 2X the pot at that). You have to...

For starters you can lead out on that flop. Why would you not? Almost the same example is on page 82 of The Theory of Poker. In the example, you have JJ (as you do in the hand) and the board shows a...

Re: AAK gets check shoved on
I think this is a situation where we are marginally ahead or way behind. Villian very easily could have 12+ outs with hands like KJ,KQ,QJ,AJ,AQ, A9...etc etc. The list goes on and on. With 12 outs...

I think you would likely be better served re-raising the flop if you feel he is on a complete steal. Because since you said he was tight and multitabling, I will assume he's playing either a pair or...
