Re: Nuts flush draw. Check, call or raise ?

The first situation I raise to get more money in the pot now, potential free card, and to maintain aggressive image as I would be raising here with AQ or KQ anyway. By the way, if it gets reraised, in my opinion you only need one caller in between to go ahead and cap it. Be aggressive! The second situation...

Re: Check-raise ethical?

Some players just really dis-like players raising in general... noticed this a lot when I was playing w/ Linda at the 4-8$ Hold Em' game in LV. Her and I were both putting a straddle on everytime around just goofing off, and I did hear quite a bit of chatter. On top of that I was always making it...

Re: Check-raise ethical?

[quote="Jon"]I have checked raise my mother before, mainly I did this just to be able to say that I have checked raise my mom. [/quote] That is great check-raising your mother. I usually don't check raise in a home game among friends but when I am out trying to make book money, I will use...

Re: Check-raise ethical?

Oh hell no check raise them weak players till the turn red and go home broke. You asked live straddle? A straddle is the worst bet you can make at a poker table, with very little exception. There are exceptions to the live straddle thing. Sometimes if you know your players doing it once or twice to prime...

Check-raise ethical?

Playing 5/10 at a casino here in MN and there were some older gentlemen at the table who all they talked about were the 'gentlemen's rules of poker' and how college kids like me are ruining the game. I was sitting in the BB and flopped the nut flush. I check and it checks around. Next card...

Re: You hit a flush on turn.

Bet it out for 1, if you get raised you get 3... that is if he calls. You go for check raise and miss you get 0. You go for check raise and hit you get 2. I like 1-3 more then 0-2! Thank you Doyle!

Re: You hit a flush on turn.

You have to bet!!! Make sure there is money in the pot. The bonus would be to get a raise from the original raiser. Now if the other player calls 2 bets I would re-raise, If he folds I would just call and hope to check raise on the river knowing that the only way the original raiser can win is to bet...

Re: May anybody play it different ?

MMM, re-reading my post and others responses... I've changed my mind. I'd like to state now that I really don't even recall posting that first response so...;P I don't think anyone was getting away from this hand on the flop- and boy I love those suited connectors for cheap prices in...

Re: May anybody play it different ?

I would also like to add that this line of thinking goes back to my basic poker philosophy, always put the decision to your opponent. With this hand what you are doing with checking is leaving everyone on the hand instead of moving to bring better odds to yourself. If you are going to invest money in...

Re: May anybody play it different ?

Actually I like to play this hand with a bet unless the last to act is the original raiser, then I will almost always attempt a check raise. I do not like to play this flop passively. I think it is a mistake. For one the information you gain is a lot more reliable then what you gain when you let the...
