For example, if villain holds Js Tc on a Kc 9d 4d 2h board, he actually has 10 outs against your As Qs.

It sincerely bothers me that such a person’s vote counts the same as mine on election day.

Not to worry, unter...I'm guessing that the automatic maid will clear out most of your posts on the 1st of April.

Edit: I gotta ask...if the OP was too long for you to bother reading, why the hell are you reading the responses?

[unterfish]

Boz. Dont get mean. I just started to like you.
Too bad!

Good work. Playing these situations well is stressful(and essential to winning) when moving up in stakes.

good read

If you thought "too long; didn't read" and skimmed all the way down to my post, you are really missing out.

One of my most recent glaring leaks in LHE, mentioned very much in this article, was my (lack of) consideration of board textures. Good ol' NLHE cash helped me plug that up.

People who drive brown CARS, benny...I've spent plenty of my own time driving brown trucks (to the cattle market, filled with, well, cattle, and covered in [censored]).

Edit: besides, UPS trucks only go 75 when they get caught in a tornado.

Sorry, lol. UPS 'trucks' are called package 'cars', I get confused sometimes talking to the outside world. Carry on.

yes, there are very few tornadoes here in western CO.

But watch the eff out for avalanches.

nh.

One addendum, though: in Hand 1, I'm only check/folding against straightforward, unimaginative players. If Villain has shown himself to be a little tricksy I might give it one more go on the turn, especially if we're OOP (it'd be a bet/fold, of course).

The reason is a great deal of good players might float for one bet on that flop (Q75r) with something like 66, thinking that AQ/KQ/AA/KK/QQ will fire again on the turn but missed hands, like AK/AJ — but also JJ-99 — will not. Thus, Villain can fold to a turn bet but value-bet (or even get us off a better hand) if we check.

But that's incredibly read-specific. With no reads except TAG stats, checking behind or check/folding is fine.
