just bet the turn please. then bet the river.

nvr mind. didn't notice what forum this was in.

i guess just raise the flop. any big heart (might raise), straight draw or pair will come along. on the flip side, there are a number of cards that will cause folds.

i: fold, raise, raise, raise, call.i think all a standard except #2, but i din't like the call. i've played a little rush and it does seem tighter and just poor overall. i think with this read 4 is a raise for a few reasons.

you guys need to get a life. i'd rail, but i got a 6 pack and some porn i need to finish off in my basement.

she's getting at least 7.5-1 and then 10.5-1 on the flop calls. She only needs about 5-1 to call. So even if she is expecting a flop cap, she's fine. you played it ok. tbh, i think 3 betting preflop is best. you're fine equity wise if its vs 5 opponents, and if you get a few folds that's good to. if she's that nitty, you can just call her river raise. she's probably raising the turn with 22,55, 88, 98. She's not raising Qx and probably not even 2 pair on the river.

Golf has got to be the only activity where so many people who are truly clueless have no problem offering their unsolicited opinion on how to improve more than what occurs in poker.

Sucks to BU there.

Didn't he retire with his millions and take up surfing fulltime?

Depends what you mean as bankroll. At the table, it doesn't matter as long as you have at least 12 BB's on the table for a given hand. 50 bets should be fine and you should probably take a walk if you drop that. If by bankroll, you mean this is the only money you have available for poker, 500-1000BBs. And don't be afraid to drop down if it gets bad.

At this level w/o any reads, I think this would be a terrible place for a bluff raise. He raised pf and called this flop. If he's retarded enough to peel an underpair on this flop, i think you need to bet the turn. Otherwise, I don't think you're never getting a better hand to fold after checking the turn. And I think most Kx or Jx have hit at least 2 pair on that board. Ax is never folding with this line.Good idea. Wrong situation.

If you do want to still dabble at full ring, try starting up a table. The first few players that sit are usually loose passives and people who like to gamble. They tend to continue to play loose after the table fills, also. Obviously, you should be comfortable playing shorthanded for a little bit.

66 can be tough to play post flop vs 2 players, but I think it's still a raise pf. Villians basically have any mediocre to bad hands. We have a big edge here. I think I like a donk on this flop. It would be bad to have this checked through. I like the turn. Are you not c/r certain cards?

Misclick, right?A week ago, I was so focused on whether I had a good spot to semi-bluff the turn heads up, instead of c/r the flop, with two overs + a gutshot, when I got 3 bet on the turn, I got frazzeled and folded the river, not noticing that I hit my gutter. (/run on sentence)I guarantee that won't happen again. At least not this week.

This is tough. I think I'd need to be in the flow of the game to give advice. You've taken a strong line and were c/r on the river. Actually you do split with a lot of Ax. I think I play it the same.

c/r flop is good. in fact, i think you have a pretty big equity edge there. you will have to fire the turn. if you get raised here, i think c/f the river u/i is fine. if not, i'd check the river and have a decision to make.

Does that work oop?I don't think I win any of these hands at sd.

Also, I need to learn how to beat a super lag who never misses a board.

Most of the time I do c/r the flop. Once in a while I c/r the turn if a non scare card comes. It seems this exact situation comes up a lot with a three flush hitting the turn. I usually chicken out at this point. I'm thinking I'm not thinking correctly here. If I do c/r this turn and get three bet against a decent player, I'm not sure how to continue since wouldn't this be a good semi-bluffing spot for him? It's probably player specific, but this is a rarely seen spot for me since I don't put myself in that position much.

Last 3 days.But February has still been a good month.

Apparently everyone is playing NL.Congrats. I would keep playing on that computer fwiw. Not that I believe in that kind of thing.In your last hand, a lot of it makes sense. Although it took me 5-10 mins for it to, let alone thinking that way during a hand.Was the turn/river play based on a specific player read or just a general read based on the preflop/flop action?On the run bad note, I read a great post on another forum a while ago re:variance. It both made me feel better and scared the hell out of me at the same time. Specifically how bad and how often seriously disgusting downswings can ha
