Re: easy fold?

I think you should peel getting 13:1. Implied odds get you close to even if UTG+1 pays you off when you hit your set. There are also a lot of cards that could come on the turn to give you a...

Re: A very aggressive game.

I don't mind the call preflop, there are two bigger aces possible and many left to act. Since they are coming in anyway, keep the pot small so they don't have odds to continue later.

I think...

Re: Mid-limit Vegas tour

Loosen up in a TAG game to do well? I haven't done too well at HP 15, bellagio looked pretty similar. Not ready for 30-60 yet, not enough bankroll. I'd like to though, I hear that and the commerce...

Re: Mid-limit Vegas tour

Is there good action in the 20-40 at commerce? I played 9-18 there a while ago, didn't seem as loose as the Mirage game I was at. 15 at hollywood park was pretty tight too.

10-20 never went at...

Mid-limit Vegas tour

OK, another short tour of Vegas games. I hope to get out there without my girl soon so I play more poker.

Bellagio (sunday evening):
I watched the 15 game, only saw open raises with blinds...

Re: live 3-6, straight, river pairs board

If it was checked, I'd probably check behind in the absence of any reads. A decent number of hands that fit within villan's range beat us here.

live 3-6, straight, river pairs board

Live 9-handed 3-6 game, very loose passive. I was earning 1BB/hour for 400 hours, now I play only while waiting for 200NL. This was during my most recent 15 minute session.

1 limper, 1 fold, I...

Re: 99 limp-reraised

I called the raise hoping the other two players in the hand would also call. I realized that I did not have the odds to hit a set, but couldn't fully decide what he had. When he bet the flop, I...

99 limp-reraised

Live 200, a pretty loose game. Blinds are $5 and $3.

2 players limp, I make it $20 to go in MP with 99. In this game, $20 is seen as a pot builder, not a raise, and would likely provide me with 5...

Flush on the river

Live 200 game, $3 and $5 blinds, 9 handed. This game is pretty loose, sometimes seeing 6 way action for $30 preflop.

1st position limps, LP limps, I complete from small blind with...

Re: 40/80 AQs hand

I don't disagree with your 3-bet preflop, but I might just call here. Big suited broadway cards play well multiway. I play a lot of low limit as well, so I like multiway loose action, but its not...

Re: 8-16 - more checking behind

I don't mind it so much. Based on your read, BB will either bet the river, CR, or fold, and I don't think he will toss a hand which has you beat it you bet, nor will he call with a hand which has...

Re: Over Over Call 20/40

I was thinking 5 or straight. 5 on the river means straight cards are more likely. You have the overcallers beat, and I think you beat the linebacker enough to call here. And, if he is so bad at...

best place to play online?

Where is the best place to play online? I've been observing some 10-handed tables at a few sites, looking for 50% or more to the flop, and haven't seen any tables this loose at 3-6 or higher. Are...

Re: royal frush draw

I don't like the preflop raise either.

I think the turn bet is fine. Turn card gave you 12 outs to the nuts if you were behind.

What are the chances that the button is holding a lower two pair...

Re: Question: J10s UTG

I agree that it is easy to get away from when you flop nothing, and can take down large pots when it hits. This is one of my favorite hands, and one of the few I consider ok to limp with early. ...

Re: what to do on the river? Casino AZ 20/40

The fact that the queen came makes it less likely that he holds a queen kicker. I think this is still a call.

I agree with playing the flop harder. One possiblity I had considered was KQ, which...

Re: common situation when overs flop

I call the flop, check fold the turn if I miss the jack. If the raiser has a flush draw, you will take two cards here for the price of a small bet, and if the river is a blank you have a likely...

Re: AK Sooted

With 12BB, I think you call 2 cold here. Even against a set, you have 7 outs to an unbeatable hand. We are getting close to break-even against a set, but I don't see a set laying down if you bet...

Re: 20-40 live turn decision

I think most players would cap with two pair or a set on the flop. For UTG, I'm guessing JT, which we still have beat here. I don't think we are up against a boat here, unless the SB has it and has...

I had a low limit hand similar to the first one, but with a lower top pair and an A kicker. I raised the turn bet and sure enough had her outkicked. There is a good chance you have a Q outkicked...

Re: Early Position Starting Hands

In a loose 8-16 with 4-5/flop, you should play all of those gray area hands along with small pairs and suited connectors if you can expect to get in for 1 bet.

Tighter games with more raising...
