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

disagree with bhiatt... He says its likely everyone else will check behind you in fear of the flush... its better to bet out and people with two pair or a set will call because they have outs. This is kind of contradictory. If someone has two pair or a set, they are not going to check because a 3rd suit...

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...

Flush Chasers - Funny Hand

The guy behind me calls, someone behind him calls, the button calls, both blinds call. 6 players seeing the flop. The flop is Checked to me, I bet, called by all...

Re: Kids, don't try this at home.

Actually, there were 2 reasons for my play in the 2nd hand. First, the player was a total fish. Don't know if I could explain it but I knew I had him if a heart came and considering my added outs by hitting a pair I had 15 cards that would help me on the river. This is a tricky hand to explain because...

Re: Loose Low Limit Game

Mully, I try to do the following things in a loose game. 1. Relax my starting requirements, try to see flops for cheap. I won't raise w/ small pairs if there are 6-7 players already in the hand. I'm not saying play every Ace or every hand in these games. Drawing hands will play better in these...

Re: Winning percentages vs card odds

If you want to be a good poker player, you have to learn how to calculate different types of odds, most notably pot odds, in your head, not with the help of software. Pot odds, your chances of having the best hand on the end in relation to the size of the pot, should often determine whether or not you...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

Thank you for responses. Couple of points here: While I do not think my both calls were right ones I would not say they are horrible by all means. You may argue with that, but I'll dare to put some statistick: I use Pokertracker for more than year playing $5/10 thru $15/30 shorthanded. Today I spent...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

3 players behind you on flop- with the UTG betting into you... my hand would be in the muck right here. TURN PLAY: "UTG bets again. Well, at this point I computed 9 outs(3 aces,4 fives and 2 douces), neither of them give me nuts, but each of them will make me a winner with large probablility. I...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

Not the best play in the world on your part, but I have seen worse. Yes, the guy is also to blame for a part of it for slow playing, but not too much. You still called a bet on the flop with very few definate outs (probably 4 fives, and only maybe an ace as an ace may have given someone two pair or...
