Re: Hand simulation: 88 in MP....

[quote="Seed"] Wow! You can lay down some big hands. I am not half that good to be able to lay down Q's in limit holdem' before even seeing the flop. [/quote] My advice to you is to think of QQ less like "ooo baby pocket queens," and more like "I have the 3rd best possible...

Re: Some lessons are cheap.......

Boy, does that suck. My condolences. You shouldn't feel stupid--just regret, of course, for the lost pot. It's never happened to me, but I have heard many stories like yours, invariably from the player who had the best hand, realized it after sweating out a scary board, and excitedly fired down...

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

I guess it depends on your feel for the table. If UTG is fairly aggressive post-flop, and you're sure he's betting the turn even with the third heart out there, then you should set up the CR, especially since you are in perfect position to trap any bettors caught in between. I agree that a set...

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...

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

If you are holding a pair of sevens, you can not flop a straight. However, if you mean the board reads 6-10 for a straight (negating your trips) then you and your opponent each have a straight. This is a split pot. Tell your friend that a poker hand is made out of 5 cards only. On the other hand...

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

I am new to poker. My question is I'm holding a pair of seven. They flop a straight 6,7,8,9,10. My friend is holding a 4 and K. He is claiming he won the hand is this true?

Re: Getting killed on Paradise Poker ...

I would chalk it up to the stakes. At those levels it's nothing more than a total crap shoot. I know so many people that play those limits almost litterally with their eyes closed simply because they are playing a higher limit at the same time and want something to kill the time while waiting for...

Re: 15/30$ LIMIT, 10$ SB forced to call?

I would also never play these hands here: 25, 26, 36, 37, 47, 48, 58, 59, 69, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8 and likely also others. I don't like the fact of playing any suited hand too. Suited hands only have a 3% advantage over unsuited hands... to me...

Re: 15/30$ LIMIT, 10$ SB forced to call?

I play 15/30 on party a lot where there is also 10 and 15 blinds. I still fold my small blind pretty often, especially if there are a bunch of players in. If there is only 1 limper or 2 maybe, and I have somewhat mediocre cards then I may limp... otherwise I fold. I have seen this to be a long-term loser...
