Re: Would you respect this bluff?

I suspect he must have a club to call the turn, and probably a high one since he called your pre-flop raise. I suspect he calls with the K of clubs or better, folds everything else.

Why no bet on...

Re: 400nl- 3bet pot against fish

I think you've answered your own question to an extent when you ask how bad the check-raise is. I only think you are ahead pre-flop, and your fold equity is pretty low for semi-bluffs and...

Re: How to procede with QQ in 3 way pot

Assuming both your opponents started with 150BB as well I think there is enough room to put a half pot bet in here(to indicate that the flop bet wasn't a continuation bet with Ace high). If you get...

Re: tptk oop against tag

Given the stack sizes I think you once you have put $70 in pre-flop you are committed if the flop is favourable. Given that you have top-pair top-kicker check raise all-in on the flop, you will avoid...

Re: Flopped nuts, put myself in a gross spot on the river

I'd stick it all in on the turn, the pot is big enough in relation to your stack to pull the trigger then.

Re: AQs big draw oop tough turn spot

I'm avoiding your original question, but what do you think of a check-raise all-in on the flop? (Or a free shot at the nuts if he checks behind). Then you don't have the problem of drawing & missing...

Omaha proposition bet/game theory

Saw this on Sunday at a B & M club.

Player A offered Player B his choice of any four cards from the deck to form an Omaha hand. (A would not see which cards B took). Player A would then choose his...

Thanks for your replies. I have read the Navarro book, and when I get asked these questions I remain silent in my "hands cupped under my chin" pose as recommended.

Speech play

I play live a lot, and was wondering how to interpret a lot of the common forms of speech play that occur. In particular, these statements:

1) "Do you want me to call?"
2) "Will you show me if I...

Re: Pot Limit Omaha 101

Once you've found your feet in Omaha I would recommend Rolf Slotboom's book. It is by no means a beginners "how to play Omaha" book, but instead provides some strategies for beating different types...

Re: Late in Stars 30k: 99 OOP

Pre-flop: flat call, although marginal between this and pushing. If my M was <10 I would push.

Flop: his bet is suspiciously high. There are no plausible draws for him to defend AT or an overpair...

Re: NL200 Tuff spot with Flush draw and inside

The possibility of someone pushing with diamonds and overcards would make me less bullish with my draw here.

Re: Help with KQo in a final table

He probably has a strong ten, a weak King, or a flush draw. He was getting 2-1 to call your raise pre-flop so could have called with a wide distribution of hands.

You must push on the flop as the...

I think the tips for playing a tiny stack (i.e. M of 4 or less in Harrington's language) are useful. I still see people making their emergency pushes with hands that are liable to be dominated by the...

Re: Jam or fold tables in \"The Mathematics of Poker\"

ok, so to clarify the table only really has application for heads-up cash (or the final stage of a tournament), rather than as a guide for blind stealing/defense when the table has >2 players?

Jam or fold tables in \"The Mathematics of Poker\"

Apologies if this has been covered in the main thread but there are almost 400 posts in the topic and a search didn't reveal anything.

Would I be right in thinking, assuming their original...

Re: KK in SB...early in PS $10 180 pp tourney...too tricky or OK?

Exactly what MJBuddy said. Need to re-raise more pre-flop, 99 has massive value to hit a set and bust you.

Re: Bottom pair &flush draw vs top pair & top kicker, PLHE cash game,

I agree, it was a rush of blood to the head.

Having done that though, the rest of the line was ok?

Re: How bad did I play? 2 unrelated hands

Hand 2:

Two options I think:

1) Push all-in, as suggested by other posters. In most cases an Ace with a dubious kicker will fold. KQ may fold. You can race with pairs from TT downwards. So you...

Re: Check folding AA overpair

One observation I would make is that your 7 x BB pre-flop raise effectively reveals the strength of your hand, but given the stack sizes, continues to give people good implied odds to bust you.

Re: tough turn decision

I would fold. It is possible he is semi-bluffing with the bare Ace of clubs, but I can't see anything else you're beating.
