Re: Business \\ Tax Question

Re: AK SOOTED. I BE PLAYIN TRICKY

I would just call and check most turns. How I play from there partly depends on how nitty MP is though and how much I can narrow his range based on his preflop raise.

5/10 hand checkup: TT vs LAG reg

Re: Nutflushdraw vs nit

most likely:
QJ, 44

possible:
AQ, JJ, QQ, draw, possibly something weaker/FPS


So I would either call or fold, definitely not shove though.
