Open fold turn because he can never have 55-QQ or air.Seriously though, just keep playing solid poker. I am never folding this. I could probably be 300BB deep and have a hard time laying this down.

Trips With J Kicker On River
Lavitz replied to AKProdigy's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
I think reraising this flop is spew because draws, sets, and better kings (or K10 for two pair) all possibly push over our reraise then we're forced with a tough decision.I lead turn and reevaluate if reraised.Bet/fold this river. You must fold if reraised though. -
Rockets Vs Bb, Facing A Large Bet On The River
Lavitz replied to gfdsa146's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Never limp AA in this spot. Do it again and I'll eat your firstborn.As played river is fold. -
Toughie. I like 4 betting button and then maybe folding but as played probably call. Button realizes if he cold calls you probably hang around so he might be pushing for isolation. Plus its low stakes so I expect 1010-QQ and AK a lot. Throw in the occasional mini pocket pair and you got yourself an +EV call.

I brought that up in my post. I think mainly he is a donkey and had no purpose with that bet. While most players value bet half pot, I can see his line of thinking focusing around trying to win the pot cheaply and then pushing in a desperate move because we checked river which could be a scare card for us. Also people build pots with draws and he could've had an OESD.If there was a flush draw on the flop that went unfilled this would be a definite call. If we bet river and he pushed it would be an easy fold. As played and with that board I think its a tough call. I like betting river but when
-
Andddd I'm calling. If he was horrible enough to bet bottom pair then call a check raise so be it. Plus, by checking river you massively underep your hand. This is usually 10J or air and sometimes an ace. Half pot turn bet seems like value but villians like this do idiotic things. If you bet river and he pushed we'd have a real problem on our hands.

Playing Back At Small Ball
Lavitz replied to Young Turk's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
I really don't think you should be on 4th/5th level thinking against these kinds of players, and you should almost never be re-re-raising on a bluff. There are numerous reasons for this. One is that you're playing at low limits so you're going to have a real hard time getting people to lay down big hand. They won't be beyond first/second level thinking. Also, the players playing in this small of a game probably aren't the best so they're not going to make hero laydowns for $50 pots. Another reason is that if you're putting in any kind of rereraise bluff then not only does the villian have a bi -
To be honest I hadn't seen him play a big hand yet at this current table and most of my hands with him were from another session. He probably views me as LAG and is bearing the brunt of my button raises.
-
Really no read on villian. He seemed to be playing too many hands out of position to raises preflop. I think his preflop range is quite large here. He's like 35/15/2 over small sample (like 60ish hands). I was multi-tabling and it looked like I tanked on turn call so I'm not sure if he took that as weakness. River was confusing because it just seemed like a stupid way to play the nuts.

Pair+draw, Turned Into Pair+combo Draw ($1nl)
Lavitz replied to rdtedm's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
I'd prolly call turn, we're getting implied odds against a bad player if we hit. I don't mind reraising either but we have to call the push for certain.Also, raise that up preflop. Don't limp 6 max, almost ever. -
Overpair Versus Draw Heavy Board
Lavitz replied to Merby's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Someone who plays 67/x/x is a horrible player, plain and simple. They are the WORST players to pull a bet/fold against because they will push over our bets and do stupid things with weaker hands because they DONT think and just play their own cards. If we raise flop, we have to call a shove. Folding after we raise is incorrect and a major flaw, especially given odds and a donkey's potential hand range.The problem with calling and revaluating turn (to see if he bets again) is that he's betting turn no matter what. If he's on a draw and a blank comes he's going to bet anyways. If hes on a hand w -
Hit Full House On Turn With Qq
Lavitz replied to AKProdigy's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Bet 2 bucks and if he calls and checks river then fire 1/2 or 2/3 pot again. -
Well played.
-
I've seen people make more idiotic plays with sets/two pairs. I don't think he has one here but I still think there is a chance (probably around 5%) that he does and that should somewhat influence our decision.

Jj Vs. Continuation Bet
Lavitz replied to Citizen Erased's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
You have to fold to this turn overbet.Also, reraise JJ preflop. I don't mind cold calling against aggro donk but this is not the ideal flop for you so don't go broke on it to a hand like KJ. You have to be willing to get away from it. -
Shot To The Gut.. 1/2 Nl (live/deep)
Lavitz replied to DrawingDeadInDM's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
My problem with shoving is that he thought his hand was good on flop and now he donks turn again which means he probably still thinks it's good. Shoving might make him lay down a king and it might not, but now there's more money in so if he thought his K was good on flop then I don't see how he bets potish and has an easy time letting go.Also, 66 and 44 are in his range and we don't really wanna be pushing into those. If he genuinely tanked on flop then I think he doesn't show up with these much but still a possibility.Probably just call turn.Edit: You also mention he holds onto overpairs long -
I know they're more unlikely but I think you have to add in other hands besides flushes because a small percentage of the time this will be air/misplayed set/misplayed 2 pair.

Top Two Facing Huge Overbet ($1nl)
Lavitz replied to rdtedm's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
Lol this is never JJ. You being shortstacked=call. -
If we think he is tilting I don't mind the play because he might be getting retarded with A7 or 89 or a variety of straight draws. He also might be getting cute because its BvB. Plus his aggression is super high and the way he played the JQ hand was highly idiotic. Its a high variance play one way or another because if we're ahead he probaby has overs/draw. I can go either way with this. If we're gonna find a fold though I suggest folding to his original reraise because I think folding once he 4bets our 3 bet is incorrect because it doesn't necessarily mean he has a monster and now we're getti
-
At least you recognize what you did wrong. Like I said, he checks behind that river because there's really no value to be extracted from his point of view and if he gets c/r he has to find a tough fold. Usually just play your big hands straightforward and let people make mistakes with 2nd best hands.

Turned Two Terrible Pair ($1nl)
Lavitz replied to rdtedm's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
If flop was rainbow I think this is a easy fold but since there is a flush draw and getting decent odds we have to call. -
You said only a 9 can proceed with the hand but then say if he has a set he's likely not folding? Whatever you meant, I personally have seen plenty of people call raises/pushes with sets here after slowplaying them on the flop. It's because generally they're bad players and they shouldn't be slowplaying sets on flops like that in the first place.Also, a 9 might not shove the river if the board pairs when he is checked too. Why? Because the only hands that are calling any bet on that board once it pairs are full houses, better straights, or hands he splits with (other 9's).Also, this is 6 hande
-
Pushaments. He is never folding a smaller flush and for what he has invested he might even call with other random crap. I think he has nut flush a good amount of time but I think he has smaller flush/set/two pair/air enough for a push to be profitable. While he isn't calling with air obviously, he may not be able to get away from anything else he idiotically slowplayed and is never ever laying down a smaller flush here with what he has invested.

1/2 Nlhe (5 Max) Turned Straight, Ugly River
Lavitz replied to Merby's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
I'm more worried about 55 and KQ then the flush. He almost never has the flush here but pulls out KQ a lot, AK sometimes and 55 sometimes.Hate calling but it's only half pot so I think we have to call. Turn bet is too weak, like you said.
