This is sometimes where pot odds can screw you...because there is so much money in the pot youa re almost forced to call, although it is a crying call to make....the more people in the pot, the better odds for you to call, but the better odds you are beat

i dont like the pre-flop call...but sometimes you have to play your suited connectors...and anyone who cant fold like that you have to bust with a hand you know you are winning with....Possibly checking the flop to control the pot size to see a free card on the turn would be best bet here always. If you check the flop, and you miss on the turn the action will be small enough for you to see one more card.

i do see a little daniel in myself...and i didnt see a possible straight, i knew he had the straight by the betting pattern...i folded a set in my home game for 10 dollars into a 40 dollar pot because i knew he had the flush. If i am unsure, i will call for odds...when im sure, im sure

eyank, this is a prime example of not controlling the pot and not taking a good hand to the river by playing small ball...if you check your set, or even just make a small bet the second jack comes and you are able to make a read on the guy and most likely will get awy from it

his numbers suck anyways

yup, just as i predicted and as usually i am right. As far as being the kid of poker, I am...and lumps...i only take beats when someone catches a cooler against me or sucks out. As far as everyone who paid this guy off because he was a big blind (stupidest thing ive ever heard) i feel bad for you. This is an easy lay down for me and most of your replies prove what daniel says when he says that current internet players are robotic. I still cant believe I am the only one who saw a definite straight here. Because he is int he blind makes him more likely to have A3 or 3, 6.Discussion over..

why would i get banned?

andy bloch is a redneck...milfhunter and daniel are both canadians

and look how much longer you have been a member...ill pass you tonight lol

Does anyone else notice how much daniel looks like the milf hunter? I swear they could be brothers

7 dollars in the pot after the flop and a 2 dollar call to see the turn with the nut flush draw, and more than likely see a free river card if the short stack player is all in. If you hit, you win a big pot, if you dont you get away only losing 2 dollars to win 7

with a hand like that, i often like to raise out of position to get the weak hands to fold...anyone with a good hand will re-raise and you can get out or just smooth call...I definitely like the strength shown. When you hit your draw, it is a disguised flush and you will most likely get paid off...fold it and move on to the next hand.

depends...i usually know wether ot not im having a good day, and if i am feeling as if my flush draw will hit i will get the value aspect out of this hand and look for another spade. The min-raiser either has top pair and is trying to get a feeling as to who is drawing and a spade or an A will win the pot against him, or he is on a flush draw himself.I would definitely pay to see another card with the quick willingness to get away from it on the turn if you miss. Who knows you might even get to see a free river.

in a cash game, your main goal is to get paid off....If you are a smart player, your goal is to win 1 big hand per hour and you will profit. You have to only play when you raise pre-flop, and dont be afriad to make some continuation bets or bet with your suited connectors...you want the loose image, but you want to present that image when the time is right so when you do have JJ and the flop is K, J, 2...somoene with the king is definitely going to push on you if you continuation bet, and usually push hard. Boom, all your loose image play pays you off. You dont want players to know you will on

I kind of feel bad about this...my friend was playing in a big tournament...he was in a 3 dollar re-buy and was in the final 19, 18th place got an extra 40 bucks or something and first place was over 6,000. He was playing tight all tournament and came up with QQ on the button. A very aggressive player who was all in 5-6 times pre-flop to steal blinds and double up through luck made a standard raise of 3x the blinds. He raised to 150,000 and had 2.5 mill remaining, and my friend had a little over 1,000,000. He wanted to go all in pre-flop which is pretty standard, but I told him to smooth call

for sure...im definitely feeling the straight or possibly even the set...i would rather save my 15 bucks than pay him off...if he did bluff and get away with it, he will try it again at another point in time where he will pay you off

yeah dude, hes definitely got a queen and is trying to get rid of any draws....can you really see somoene flopping a flush and re-raising nearly all of his chips to the pre-flop aggressor?? If he smooth calls the flop then I worry about the flush, cuz the queen is either going all in or folding.

a semi-bluff is not bluffing with 2 overcards...semi-bluffing is drawing with substantial outs. And i dont care you just dont try to bluff someone who showed strength, continued stregth on the flop, and willingness to call a re-raise. If he put you on AK or AQ, like somoene trying to bluff someone here would most of the time think because of the raise, he would of checked the river excited to even have a piece of the flop after a failed bluff. He bet for value the whole time, and you showed him that you werent folding so if he was trying to bluff, why would he give you odds to call? I've seen

i like how you think he has Q-10...how is someone with Q-10 going to:1) call a raise pre-flop with q-10... unless they are a donkey2) raise the person who made the pre-flop action with Q high on the flop3) continue to bet for value on the turn and the river AFTER the PF raiser called your re-raise

the small bet on the flop indicates that he was drawing for a flush as well, or possibly even a straight...i always think min bets with 2 of the same suit on board indicates they are drawing...some good players will take this image and use it to make huge profit in some situations, so i believe the small bets, the signs of weakness, and the long time to fold on the river (trying to save face) indicates a definite flush draw.

you have to put him on a straight....he is giving you more than 2:1 odds to call with a pretty good hand...his range because of being in the blind is so wide that it is hard for me to make this call...in a tournament maybe its easier, but in a cash games i like to feel more confident than this. If he is bluffing, he is an easy bust when you do wake up with the monster hand.

Please only answer if you have lots of experience maintaining a building bankroll at these limits. At least a month of playing consistently while keeping your bankroll and even profiting, how do you go about it? do you play loose, tight...are you aggressive or do you try to win small pots protecting your stack or do you go for the big pots as you normally would in tournament play. what % of flops do you see and how often do you limp in the SB to see a flop....just need a little advice

just because it is the big blind, i can see him turning a straight but showing strength in that situation isntead of just calling and hoping to get a big bet on the river that he can go all in with. Because he did not slowplay it and take it to the river, i would just call on the river. If your aces up got beat by a draw then you move on to the next hand. I cannot get away from this hand.

well, considering he was in the big blind you cant rule out A3 (very likely) or even 3, 6. in my mind i always see SB and BB hitting flops like that. He bet 10 dollars into a 19 dollar pot, and usually 1/2 the pot is begging for a call. Seeing as how he gives you more than 2:1 to call on the river i would think he had a straight.He either hit big blind special, or he is putting you on completely missing that flop. Depends on the type of player and your gut instinct. I would say fold because he is begging for a call with that 15 dollar bet on the river.

in my opinion, this is a situation where you want to control the pot size. I would either re-raise to take over control of the hand pre flop, hoping that QQ or better will re-raise you so you can get away from the hand. Or i would smooth call the flop keeping the pot size small so if the player does make a continuation bet, you can re-raise him to show strength to get information or again just smooth call depending on what type of player the UTG is. This sort of hand is hard to get away from, but dont rule out him raising with QJ just because it was suited or something and catching two pair on
