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

In the second situation, if the flush card hits the turn and you check with the hopes of a CR, it's likely everyone else will check behind you in fear of the flush, costing you one or more bets. You might as well bet the turn. Someone (or more than one) will call, particularly those with outs against...

Re: I hate dropping the best hand....

Yes, I would call it. Many players overbet their hands and second high 2 pairs on non highly coordinated board imho deserve to be played. Three recent pots as illustration: $5/$10 Hold'em - Friday, July 08, 20:15:09 EDT 2005 Table Table 11367 (6 max) (Real Money) Seat 2 is the button Total number...

Re: Medium PP in LP

Pretty good stuff here guys. (The rest of this post has been either omitted or severely edited) WOW, I started to write a seemingly smooth flowing post about how I mostly agree, but then disagree with this and that, but then I went back and reread all your posts and realized how I am just way too hammered...

Re: Medium PP in LP

[quote="Calm Dragon"] 88 and lower are tough to hold. I may be in for a bet or two, to see if they will set up by the turn. I stayed in with a 44 last Sunday only because the board was no more than two of any suit, and none consecutive in rank. Turn was checked 'round. River gave me a set...

Re: Medium PP in LP

I always three bet TT and better against one player (original raiser). If his raise was already called or if there are more limpers before him I would three bet only QQ or better, rare JJ. As for smaller pairs against the single raiser I play both ways - I may three bet with any pocket pair, even with...

Re: Medium PP in LP

So much depends on the limit and if you have any info on the player raising. If I'm grinding low limit, playing 4 tables of 2-4 or 3-6, and against one raiser that I don't know to be particularly fishy or surprisingly decent, I will usually put in a 3rd bet with JJ and TT; 99 88 and 77 I'll...

Medium PP in LP

I wanted to bring up the topic of playing medium pocket pairs in late position. By medium I am referring to 88, 99, TT, maybe 77 or JJ. From what I see of a lot online is this: A player raises from some position in front of the player with the pair. The player with the pair will 3 bet his medium (or...

Re: Some fun hands!

I agree with that, Seed. You should avoid raising 44 preflop here. Your hand isn't that strong against multiple callers, and a raise isn't gonna limit the field much as a few players have already limped. Limp with your 44 and either flop a set or get out. Also, if you hold 44 in EP or MP folding...

Re: Set on 4-flush board.

Your percentages are based on everyone having random hands. But everyone in the pot likely has a pretty good hand (psuedo-random), there were 3 bets preflop. So the chance of someone with a good hand having a club 6 or under is much smaller than the chance of them having a club larger than 6. Also, you...

Re: Set on 4-flush board.

That chance of 4 people being in a pot and not a single one having a club is very unlikely. Especially since there were multiple bets preflop, someone likely has a big club. Although a raise might get the person holding a smaller club to fold and if the bettor was bluffing than you win... but I find...
