at the time i thought it was a good idea to try and keep button in...it seemed like a good idea at the time but i think i lost a bet because of it...i knew i had the best hand,i think villian would have pumped 2 pair/set on the flop, i think i tried to play it too fancy lol by trying to trap button in the middle

the important note is that you have the ad here, and that people aren't as likely to draw at non-nut flushes, so the button isn't going to be in on the turn often anyhow. also, if he's raising the turn on a flush flop, 3betting is nice, because if he has a flush, he should cap, and you'll be able to raise the river as well. if he has tptk or 2p or whatever, you're not going to get in more than 3 bets on the big streets anyway, so it's breakeven-ish, as danege said.finally, i think that if you 3bet the turn here, you look more like an overpair than anything else, given your aggression, and people are probably more likely to overplay their shit vs you if you do that, imo.

I just had a nice little 85 Big Bet session at Stars so there were quite a few feel good hands but this was the largest. Pretty good discipline from my opponent on the river not to raise when he hit his two pair.PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $20.00 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comPreflop: LuckyBob is MP with A , A :diamond:UTG calls, LuckyBob raises, Button calls, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, UTG calls, LuckyBob caps, Button calls, SB calls, UTG callsFlop: (17 SB) 7 , 8 , 3 (4 players)SB checks, UTG checks, LuckyBob bets, Button calls, SB raises, 1 fold, LuckyBob 3-bets, Button calls, SB callsTurn: (13 BB) A (3 players)SB checks, LuckyBob bets, Button calls, SB callsRiver: (16 BB) 9 (3 players)SB checks, LuckyBob bets, Button calls, 1 foldTotal pot: $360 (18 BB) | Rake: $2Results:Button mucked A , 9 (two pair, Aces and nines).LuckyBob had A , A (three of a kind, Aces).Outcome: LuckyBob won $358

Hi there. Im looking for some feedback on my two folds in these hands. Not really concerned about any other streets just the final decision to fold. Thanks.

Convert your hands, click the "bet / raise any" button for both those hands and learn to zag better.

[HighwayStar 8]

At Full ring 77 might be a fold UTG+1. Not sure. I think I might prefer 3bet to cold call although I could be wrong about that too. Flop fold is fine.Don't fold the 78 on the river in the other hand as played. Kinda weird hand overall though. I think you could probably find a different way through it.oh, and what Danege said.

you didn't make a single good decision in either hand besides maybe the fold on the flop in hand 1 even though you should have just folded to the first bet.

I haven't but I don't have access to information before everybody else does. I'm in contact with a few people at Stars but they don't tell me anything early.

[GWCGWC 83]

The RSA security thing from Stars is super sweet. I'm pretty confident that my account cannot be hacked now.

[Whatever 1]

How long have you had that GWC? Any bugs?I'm interested in getting one here in the next few months.

Bob beta tested it for a good long while and I don't think he had any problems.I received mine Saturday. It's not like I was worried about my acct being hacked but now it would require kidnapping and torture for someone to get into my Stars acct. It's well worth the 6K fpps. You can also buy it for cash. That requires an email to Stars security and I have no idea what it would cost.

I have some questions about table selection - how do you decide which table to play?Do you take any one with an open seat at the limit you want to play?Do you look for a specific fish and sit as his table?Do you look at the % of players seeing flop and average pot size some sites advertise?Do you look at the table raking on www.pokertableratings.com? If this one, do you use their table rating and pick any that have a green rating, or do you look at their VP$IP, PRF, and Aggr values?Peace,Opie

I have some questions about table selection - how do you decide which table to play?Do you take any one with an open seat at the limit you want to play?No.Do you look for a specific fish and sit as his table?Yes. Preferred method.Do you look at the % of players seeing flop and average pot size some sites advertise?Yes. Second method.Do you look at the table raking on www.pokertableratings.com? If this one, do you use their table rating and pick any that have a green rating, or do you look at their VP$IP, PRF, and Aggr values?Not really. I'd actually combine this with looking at the sites % and pot size, and then ptr the players at the best tables to find the fish. Peace,Opie

Do you look for a specific fish and sit as his table?Do you look at the % of players seeing flop and average pot size some sites advertise?

I use these two and I'm constantly changing tables when they tighten up unless I have a couple of good reasons to sit there. To give you an idea: I 4/5 table 1,800 hand sessions (about 4 hours) and I average playing on 45 different tables per session. If I take shots at the level above mine it's only because there's a specific player (hopefully more than one) in the game.
