Re: NL25: Some general hands to spot my leaks

Hand 1: If you are willing to go broke on any flop try and play a bigger pot preflop. Namely raise bigger sometimes with a certain group of hands maybe AA, KK, AK, 76s or something. I think you...

Re: Play Poker like a pigeon

If I understand the back cover correctly the basic premise is to make yourself look like you play worse then you actually do. This will force people to make incorrect adjustments to you which in...

Re: Time to move up levels SnG?

If you play just one or two tables, you should probably be alright with just 20 buy-ins. So at stars I would try out the 6.5's and move down to the 3.4's if your roll dropped to 100. If you would...

Re: straight wit very dangerous board

Betting flop is definitely a leak. The line I would take would depend on the player. If he is weak/tight you have to raise turn. Since you have the K of hearts even if he plays back at you I would...

Re: 27: Shove over loose bigstack on bubble?

Your range on what he will call with is a little tight. Bad loose players can always rationalize hilarious calls to themselves. If he has QJs he can sell himself on the fact that your range is...

Re: PS $6.50: JJ flops overpair & facing c-bet

If the flush draw wasn't out there it would be a more difficult problem to figure out. I think a player in the 6.5's is capable of having both a flush draw or an underpair like 99 or 88. When you...

Re: 27T: AK rivers TPTK after c/b called on flop

I agree with Luisgallo. Why bet 500 on the river? What range are you putting villain on? What hands are going to call? Also why not cbet this flop. His read is that this person is weak/tight. A...

Re: (78) River Thoughts?

Is this always an insta complete for you in the sb? OOP with KTo against 3 players two of which are known to be maniacal does not seem like a good play to me. Also why bet the flop. If you think...

Re: Deep stack BR

The size of your bankroll really depends on your skill level. For a losing player, there is no bankroll big enough to sustain the losses that they will surmount. That being said, if you are about a...

Re: SOmeone asks \"you have A9?\'

It is definitely a leak to limp loose like this. It is also a leak to overuse tells. Does this guy talk alot? Is this at a casino or a home game? If you play with these people alot maybe you...

Re: SOmeone asks \"you have A9?\'

No I completely agree with you. I would have folded on the turn. I just would not have folded because he asked if I had A9.

Re: Learn me about $25NL

Re: 2.25 to 6.50s completely confused.

TO be able to make a helpful response you will need to post some hand examples. I am sure you are not playing perfectly.
So to claim that variance is your problem is a total cop out. Most...

Re: Call all-in with 88?

Call at any level? You say that like it is not extremely marginal unless you can be sure he is pushing close to any 2.

Re: $5 SNG-Button shove with QQ on the bubble?

Losing value? I disagree. I think that someone who plays halfway decent after the flop will make more in the long run by 1.limping or 2. min raising than they would by making a standard 3-5x BB...

Re: Call all-in with 88?

Depends on Range. If you think he would push 20%+ then its a marginal call. If this is his first push of the tourney I would wait for a better spot. Based on no read I would fold
