I think that folding is fine. Then again, I don't think calling is that bad either. But I lean toward folding.I do, however, think that a c/r on the flop might be better. I understand what you are saying about getting opponents that don't improve to fold, but then it puts you in a bad spot on the river when you don't improve. Which, is most of the time. If it goes 4-bets on the flop you could lead the turn and fold to a raise, or call if you pick up an oesd. Just curious, do you c/r any turn? *shrug* I don't know, it seems like things are waaay different online at these limits that in live ca

So, it's pretty much just Zach and Actuary left in the limit section huh? wow...Anyway, couldn't you raise the turn and fold to a reraise? Or even some of the time get a free showdown when he just calls the turn? Just curious what your thoughts are on this. I took a break from poker for a few months so I may just be very rusty. *shrug*

Umm...Isn't this just your opinion? So ultimately doesn't it just account for Jack ****? *shrug* I guess hypocrisy is okay where you're from.

You are absolutely right. But when you ask the other person and they don't say anything, but call anyways, it is still live.Nobody at the table is even allowed to say anything when it is obvious that you are about to hit a jackpot. Most people who frequent cardrooms enough will make sure not to do anything that might kill it. If there is a board that looks like it has jackpot potential then they aren't going to chop anything. They are going to try and get money in the pot. At the casinos I play at there has to be a certain amount of money in the pot so the jackpot doesn't get taxed. You can o

Most people will chop with even very strong hands, mainly cause of the rake. In the casinos that I play at there is a bad beat jackpot, so usually one of the players will ask the other if they have a jackpot hand. If they both have a potential jackpot hand they might check it down and chop after the hand. This might not always be the case, but if I were you I would have asked if he wanted to check the whole way then chop after the hand. If he says no then I wouldn't check it down.

Looks good before the flop. Bet the flop though. If he's anything like the loose players I come across in the 4-8 Kill games, he doesn't have to have a great hand to cap preflop. So don't be afraid to bet the hand the whole way. If you get raised then you can slow down. Check calling is not a great play imo.

I play $6-12 Kill or $9-18 Kill (if it gets started) at my B&M casino almost everyday, usually five times a week. It is almost always a table full of regulars when the game opens and I see the same people almost everyday. They know how I play, or they know what I let them at least.When the games are tough, with a lot of observant players, I mix it up a bit like EX #2. Raising up front with a suited connector can often win me the blinds, as long as the game conditions are right. If I get action and showdown my hand, it can cause the players to give me more action, or at least put someone on

sounds like a pompous staement to me. *shrug* I guess it's okay when you do it though.

Since nobody even thought to mention the benifits of GROWING CANNIBIS...here....http://www.jackherer.com/Since so many are so knowledgeable about marijuana and why it should be illegal, here is $100,000 if you can prove this guy wrong. OP: Maybe you should learn about both sides of an argument before you open your mouth. You clearly know nothing about this drug. Oh, good luck on getting $100,000 cause nobody has done it yet.

That makes every bit of sense. There should be one of you in every city in america, then we could all be healthy!

lol

aseem,I agree with you in this situation. This is a fairly harmless situation. I play live way more than online, and in some situations i often feel my opponent has hit with me. I would likely bet in these situations, like say I feel like my opponent is on a weaker ace. I would of course only do this if i felt my opponent was going to call. I would also do this move if I felt like he a strong pair and it was a weak player. For me, much of my decision is opponent dependent and based on feel. I would rather put my opponent to a decision than have to make one on the river. I especially wouldn't w

i think that you should have bet at least $10 on the flop, and more on the turn.

I just call here. Unless this guy hates money I wouldn't be surprised if he showed a 6 something. Honestly I wouldn't be all that surprised if he had a couple of jacks in his pocket.

i would say call the flop, unless you have ome kind of read on this guy.

you have it backwards.paired boards make it *much* more wa/wb.which means pushing is even *more* -EV and checking is even better.don't be scared of giving a free card to two outs. the value you gain when 99 says "oh censored yeah, i'm bluffing him out of this pot, he's scared of the ace" is much more than when you push and 99 is put to the test.aseemI don't think I have it backwards. If the board wasn't paired then the turn check would be even better. We would have top pair top kicker w/ the nut flush draw. I think that that is a safer situation to check than if the board was paired. Also, I k

i prefer a bigger raise preflop. Flop looks good. I agree with the check on the turn a little, but at the same time I think that i would bet this turn sometimes. For me it depends on the opponent and what my read on his hand is. I'm most likely way ahead on the turn, I agree that checking induces bluffing. The problem i have with it is the free card that it gives. I don't like the thought of having to call an all in on the river when I feel like the line of play from the other guy is a pocket pair. I would call but kind of close my eyes hoping that he didn't fill up on the river. If the board

Play with what you feel comfortable. I'd say about 25xBB is a good amount. I like to start with a little more depending on the limits and the game itself. I know most of you play online but for live when I play 4-8 KILL I usually start with about 250. That is actually a lot compared to what the other guys buy for.

To be honest I learn a lot from the 18 hands you post a day. I don't mind sifting through the posts to find the good ones. I think that even he obvious posts have good content sometimes. It all depends on the information you are looking for, what you want to learn, and what skill level you are at.

I like the way you played it. The turn bet is fine. It seems like your hand is good here on the river. I don't see it to be a huge leak if you raise here.

I generally limp with that in early position too. I think I would raise on the 3-bet the flop though.

i bet this flop

that was a gift at the table if I've ever seen one.

I agree that the pot is huge and that you want to improve your chances of winning it, but i don't think that betting on flop will accomplish that or even help all that much. It puts mor money in the pot and helps persuade the rest of the people to stay in. I think that the only way betting here helps you is if you are sure the person to the left is going to raise you with junk. That might deter others from calling. I would play this flop passively with that many people in, middle pair with a weak kicker and no real draws to speak of.

looks fine
