I make that bet a lot of the time bc a lot of aces are paying me off, maybe even some worse hands who think theyre getting bluffed.

I bet about 10 here.Something that i may get blasted for is suggesting a call from the CO with the two nines. You already have two limpers, so why not try and win a nice big one with a flopped set, playing carefully if you flop an over. The more limpers, the more value this play has obv since youre now playing it like a drawing hand.Note: I generally don't play LAG online bc im only playing .5/1 at most, and people just cant fold hands, but i'm raising with 99 more often if im playing LAG.Playing micro online NL you can pretty much just value bet big hands, overbetting much of the time and s

This feels a lot like 55. I personally fold here and look for a better spot. Also, with 6 other players in the pot, I make it about a buck 25, 50 PF. I dont mind raising here, bc i think there's a very good chance we have the best hand.

*shrug* you prolly got coolered. Good bets on all streets, although as pure preference I like to bet slightly bigger on the turn (i wanna win da big un ) 90% of the time youre looking at AK, mb a well slowplayed set. Getting a million to one though no way you can fold. Mb AQ or AJ lost their head. A lot of (dumber) players will make an all-in bet for some reason when they have very few chips left and they should just call.Checking the river isn't so bad, but i think AJ+ having gone this far is prolly paying you off, maybe even a loose AT, 9. A busted flush draw might try to run a bluff b

I think I probably check here because im weak passive fish and don't want to get raised off my hand . At these microstakes games that many of us play in, i would say that nearly half the players are weak passive and pay off about a ~1/2 pot sized river bet, w/o having the heart to raise a busted draw.

I second that. I happen to disagree with most of all of what brando is saying and agree with what seems to be the mainstream thought on this topic. The purpose of forums such as these is to learn and trade ideas, based on the socratic dialectic method. If brando is in fact wrong, there's no reason to insult him. He'll either learn eventually, or wont, which is better for everybody else right? Maybe he could even be onto something. Not saying that this is or isnt the case here, but just because everybody agrees on something doesn't make it right. To think so would make forums such as the

1) Fold. He his 2 pair or a flush, all you can beat is a pure bluff or somebody who lost his head.2) Suck it up and call. Youre probably beat, but getting 5:1. Bet more on the flop and turn. I personally bet at least 10 and 20 here, prolly closer to 25 on the turn. Note: if i bet 10 on the flop, im prolly not betting a lot less than 30 on the turn.3) I don't like it. I'm a donkey and probably fold. When I make a bet like that I usually flopped a set bc i know people cant get away from TP. A semi bluff with a flush draw is possible, but KQ and less (hands you can beat) doesnt do that.P.S.

Youre getting 3:1 on a call, so no. I would include KQ and QJ in his range, so youre ahead of lots of queens, KK, and only beind sets. JT would be pretty sick.

You have a better chance at controlling the pot size by raising. Limping lets others in, as in your hand you take a flop with 6 PLAYERS. THATS A LOT! If you raise here, I would expect UTG to call, but it is quite likely that you eliminate many of the players that limped ahead of you, as a typical raised pot goes to the flop 2 or 3 handed. Against 3 players, TPTK is much better than against 6, and MP2 might even pay you off with his weaker hand, as he has now committed more chips.I could go on, but nutshell: Raise good, call bad.

Take a free one.

Lead out on the flop. This will allow you to win all of somebodys chips if they have the right hand and the wrong mindset. Ace rag often calls off a flop bet, ace 9+ maybe calling off a turn and/or river bet too. Jx, youre getting all his chips no questions asked. Unless your opponent is LAG, which based on his bet sizes, he clearly isn't, why bother trying to get somebody to bluff off a couple chips with nothing, and then have an ace usually fold when you finally announce the strength of your hand, and have a jack get away with cold calling

To a known LAG this play is fine. To anybody else you might just want to fold, period.

I like pushing too. Maybe call, push-on-turn, which is somewhat confusing and often gives you additional fold equity, and lets you see if the bb can give you some better odds. Folding this big of a draw to a min-raise is silly, but cold calling and checking the turn would be a fairly poor play as you'd lose any possible fold equity.

I'm of the impression that "I'll put you all in" is not an honored defined bet in most casinos. "I'm all in" is a valid bet. I run a poker game, and in this situation I would personally not hold the player to a $3000 bet.
