1/2 Nl Live. Ako 3-bet, 3-way
BoBetter replied to Dubey's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Heads up: ShoveMulti Way: Check, reevaluate.I hate checking though, because at that point, your hand is face up, but unfortunately, it's still the correct play against these opponents. -
You call hand 1? She could have AK of clubs there....or you're beat by AA and KK. Who knows. But you ain't folding without a read, so chalk it up either way.Hand 2. What is seat 5 limping with after two callers? He's either hit a set, two pair with Q9 or A9, or is on a semi bluff draw and is trying to get you off your top pair. I play at the Bike a lot, and I don't play that 500 game, but I'm sure some of the regulars there make that play. This hand would be read dependent. If it's a typical donkey table that I play at, at the 300 to 500 and 200 games, I'm putting the villian on a mediu

In general, I like checking behind on the turn when my hand is strong, yet vulnerable, and has almost no chance of a redraw. With the redraw on the KQ hand, I think you have to bet the turn. I bet 1/3 to half the pot there. If I get re raised, I check my pot odds, and decide if I'm beat and make a decision there. I just thinking betting here disquises your hand more, and by checking you're taking away your power of position.With the QQ hand, I probably call, and re evaluate on the turn, with the idea that I'll probably be getting all my money in on a non AK turn.

Caro's "loose Wiring" Theory
BoBetter replied to aasurfer's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
you're not playing a tournament. Doing shit like that in cash games is a donkey play. -
Are you serious? You're beat and should probably fold the flop. If not, at least check the turn and get a free draw to the nut flush and a cheap showdown. It's early in the tournament, this guy has a big stack, and is probably limping with KQ, AK, or KJ. Or he has a set of 4's and is scared of the flush, or a bigger set since you've shown aggression.

Stange Line From Oop Villian
BoBetter replied to Ricer98's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
I think he has AK suited.He check raises for value and as a semi bluff, then sets the price by betting a third of the pot on the turn, which in turn also lets you draw cheaply, then he misses his draw and puts in a big bet on the river with a busted draw.Either that, or he misplayed QQ, or JJ, but I would need more info on the player. If he's not a donk and plays solid, it's AK.I think you make a mistake by calling the turn $6. I think when he bets a third of the pot there, it has to raise a serious questions and it should smell weak like a drawing hand. I either raise or fold to the turn b -
2/5 At Wynn 10-handed
BoBetter replied to David_Nicoson's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
yeah, you kind of butchered this hand on almost every street. If you play like this all the time, I feel like you will be a losing player in the long run. BWTFDIK. -

Welcome to the forum. I play at the Bike about 4-5 times a week. I'm usually at the 100, or 200 tables. I've been trying to grind up a bankroll the old fashioned way since I spent 5 grand on home furnishings and stuff this past winter. Anyway, you played the hand fine from what I can tell. Sometimes when I'm a short stack I don't mess around and just try to win the money on the turn with a hand just like this. Especially lately since I want to build up a roll. I know it can cut into my winnings, but it also cuts down variance, which is pretty important to me right now unfortunately.

Thanks fellas, now that I think about it. It is a pretty obvious busted draw. I don't know, something just made me think he had 910 of diamonds or something, and I didn't even think about it. But, you guys are right, if he has the nut straight, he's probably not pushing all in.When I sat with him, for the rest of the night he was putting people on hands, and putting them to the test. He was pretty spot on for the rest of the night. We would talk during hands and so forth about what people were holding.I played with him again last night and made most of it back from him. And, uh, you guy

I've been on a similar run. I'm up 2200 in the past five weeks. It's tough man. I've done this like five times now, and every time it gets a little harder because I know I should be playing higher. I try not to think about it though, and play away. One of my problems is that I get a little bad luck, start playing badly, then I tighten up. When I tighten up, I don't play as well.

My bad. Thanks for the replies. The flop was J78. He bluffed on the river with a busted gut shot diamond draw, and he showed. Q10 diamonds.Like I said, I knew I was getting frisky, but the table was a typical limpy, weak table. I raised 25 I believe. I played it like I would play any big hand. A normal raise would be 12-15 on this table. So I just added the money of the limpers onto that for my raise, which is pretty standard for me.Ok, now that we got that straight. Let's talk about the river. What the **** do I do there?

So, I'm playing at a 2/3 table at the Bike, and an unknown sits down to my left and has about 600, and I have about 500 well earned chips.I'm in the Cut Off, and unknown is to my right. The hand goes, fold, fold, limp, limp, limp, and I have KJ, so I decide to get a little frisky and make a raise and try to steal the money right there, figuring, the only people who may have me dominated are the possible callers behind me. Everyone folds, except the two players to my right.Flop comes J 89, 2 diamonds. I have the Jack of Diamonds. Everyone checks to me, so I bet 30 into about a 43 dollar po
