I highly doubt that. If I were a new U.S. customer looking to deposit money on their site I'd try the top two listed options first. If those don't work as you seem to suggest it would turn me off immediately when I saw my next option involved signing up for an account at a third party place I've never heard of.

Daniel Negreanu.Please make it to the final table with an enormous enough chiplead to dominate like you did in the 2004 WPT Bellagio Five-Diamond World Poker Classic event.Oh, and wear a Sharks jersey because they are on the prowl for tops in the west!

UltimateBet lists the top two ways for U.S. customers to deposit as Visa and Mastercard.What???

No reads?If this is the case, I like folding.

How is it irrelevant on if we should have folded or 3-bet preflop? We should have made that decision independently before moving on to see what else happened in the hand. Also, OP said he had no reads. Judging by your analysis from SSHE, doesn't that mean you'd advocate folding preflop?Actually, I think this is an interesting situation and reads are important. SSHE certainly advocates folding AQo in this spot and that game is geared to toward very loose and passive games (which the ones on Bodog are). Interestingly enough I might be more willing 3-bet with AQo in a more TAG game, though probably not against an EP raiser unless I have a decent read. I think the key here is how passive our opponents are. If they rarely raise pre-flop then this is an easy fold, if they raise pre-flop pretty often, then it's an easy 3-bet. Of course, in this hand all that becomes pretty irrelevant b/c EP folded the flop. As far as the way it was played, I think I pretty much play it the same as the OP. Though, I'm really gonna kick myself if the turn gets checked through, absent a strong read I don't like betting into someone who capped the flop when I just have TPTK. -
If we're talking about money made just from poker, my guess would be Chip Reese.

Unraised yes it's correct. If it's raised though, I hardly widen my range at all. We still have worst position post-flop. Infact the reason I was interested in the 2/3 blind structure at all is that I would get more calls from the SB when I raise in position and that makes me more money.
-
Getting called 30% of the time just doesn't happen here. I'm not calling off my tournament life for a twice the pot sized bet with much other than exactly what I had here. I would never have played the way I did with QQ/KK/AA here. If I have JJ he's beat, which is certainly a reasonable holding for me given the prior-river action. I would have folded TT 99 here for my tournament life, he is not getting a call 30% of the time.

3/6 at AP is 2/3 blind structure? Interesting.
-
Didn't you read my results post? =PYou got beat giving the cheap turn card. It's a sooted AQ. If I get popped here I get it all in and take my medicine if needed. -
I'm confused as to why the CO would check raise. He has no reason to think we will bet the turn after we check behind on the flop, so if his hand is really that good, why isn't he betting out on the turn in the first place?Oh, and the turn is a pretty clear fold after we get check-raised, unless we have some kind of a read that CO could be pulling a move here. -
Villain has no reads on me, so I don't see how he'd think 99 77 or AK ever call a shove, and he can't put me on QQ/KK/AA/AJ the way I played the hand.I'm not really venting over the hand, just thought it was time to post results and bring up discussion to see what might have been going through his head to make that bet... I still think calling was the correct play based on the weirdo way I played the hand. I just really don't understand why villains play is ever good when ive shown so much weakness, unless he's bluffing of course.

UltimateBet Aruba Classic.

If I raised all-in on the turn that would be a raise size of twice the pot, $40. I don't think that's all that great a decision... I did call the river and he showed As Kc so I took down the pot. I think LongLiveYorke pointed some things out about why raising the flop would be good that for some reason I wasn't thinking about at the time, even though the reasonings are pretty standard for doing so... I definitely should have raised the flop.As far as the raise on the turn, it's only costing him $10 to call in a $37 pot. Besides that he's shown he's more than willing to continue the hand. I would push him all-in here. You passed up your chance to apply pressure on the flop, so now you have to turn it up on fourth street. -
Results:Hero calls. Villain turns over 8

for a flopped boat and eliminates Hero from the tournament.How he makes this ridiculous overbet and ever expects me to call with how I played the hand, just like the tootsie pop question...The world may never know... -
Why don't we just fold preflop with this hand? Being out of position with this type of hand sucks.
-
FYP!Only kidding MrNiceGuy.I didn't really consider the preflop action. You might be right about folding there without a read. With the CO posting, I do think we need to 3-bet if we're going to play though.I'm not wild about playing AQo in MP against an EP raiser though; Oh wait this is on bodog? Nevermind, nice 3-bet -
I agree that I played the hand poorly up until the river.But...Would you call on the river if you had played it this way? I did invite him to bluff as you said, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. As I said before, I didn't expect him to be moving in whether he was trying for value or a bluff.What would you do if the theoreticals I described before happened?As it is, hero is in a guessing game. -
I usually raise the flop here, as it looks like he has the ace, however... I was trying something new this time because I feel like when I raise the flop, most people are ready to lay AK or AQ down to me by the turn or only pay off smaller bets than the pot size I want. I felt by just calling I was setting myself up to win a bigger pot, while I was taking a bit larger risk. While this thinking might be wrong, it was just something I wanted to try... With that said, if we're going to just call the flop, is the raise size on the turn okay? Call or Fold the river?

Update:Since it looks like he's close to making a version 2 to his converter, I just suggested that my idea of a "standard hand history" be available as an output option.Also Zach, I tried converting a Limit Hold'Em hand from UB after removing the odd spacing and it worked, but the No-Limit ones seem not to work after removing the spacing =[

I could have led less on the flop for sure. I think he might smell weakness if I'm only betting around what I raised to preflop though, so I'd probably settle on betting 400 if I could have the hand back. Anyway, let's say he check/calls my 400 bet on the flop, that makes the total pot 1500 going into the turn where I catch my jack. He checks the turn, and I bet 750, then he check-raises all-in. Is it a fold? We'd have 3,310 chips left to call off if this happened.What if he just calls the 750 on the turn, and then pushes the river? Does it change things?I'll post results soon but I want to get feedback from copern too since it seems he is around now!

If he is capable of making that cap with a flush draw in position, it might be better to lead out on the turn.With no reads, I think I may have still led the turn, called a raise, and check/called river, but it's close...The reason I'd still lead the turn with no reads is I just don't see what he has hear to have us beat. 55 is the scariest possibility, 77 is possible but less likely, and I'd expect him to have capped with QQ/KK/AA preflop.Also, once it is heads up on the flop, he still caps it, which is a little inconsistent with a set since you'd think he might want to let you lead the turn.Then again, there aren't that many hands he plays like that on the flop that we beat. Possibilities are KQ/QJ and the aforementioned flush draw.Basically what I'm getting at is that yes this is pretty standard and leading the turn or check/calling down is such a close decision that it probably doesn't matter much either way.

I don't like that assumption. KJs plays a LOT better postflop than Ace rag which may be why she raised that with a limper in the pot and not Ace rag. Also, even if she has an ace 5% of the time like you say, we're paying so much this hand that even if she only has it 5% of the time we're losing money to look her up.I'm also curious to figure out what you're doing on the river if we don't hit a king.With no reads, it's an obvious fold on the flop. With a read, I realize that there's like a 5% or less chance she has the ace on this flop. Opponents that raise KJs in MP w/ a limper do not limp Ax in the CO. It doesn't fit at all. Therefore, I'm actually betting and calling because I think my K-high is probably good. I've taken the approach: "I know she doesn't have the ace...now how would I play it if I did?"

I know (DS) means Deep Stack or Double Stack usually, but what does (SS) mean? Looks like you start with 5k in chips?
