1. Business law, another thing James is trrbl at.2. On a curve, that's gotta be almost a B.3. Next time avoid the mandatory 10 point penalty for wearing earbuds.4. Quill pens and inkwells score extra credit with old business law professors. Barrister wigs too.

Bow Ties work as well

I think you can bet a bit over half pot and still get calls from Tx 99-77 type hands.

4 way I often check flops like this when I'm 2nd to act and such... Is this a leak? Cbet for value/protection?edit: also is the sizing a bit small/weak? If I had a K and bb was a fish, I'd be betting at least $4.50, thoughts?

[KingJames 11]

I assume you lost to AQhh but yeah, not much you can do there. I 3b or fold pre-flop a lot more than I call unless BB is a huge fish that I'm trying to play pots against.The reason is when some dude opens the button, his range is pretty wide, so not only do we need to make a hand (or push him off his), but we have to then get value (or bluff him) from oop... much tougher.I think I like how you played it postflop tho. I'm hoping he had QQ or AA and not AQhh. I think when he 3bets the flop you have no FE so calling is good based on your price, and crai is good on the turn, bc he'll bet his QQ+ hands for value/protection and then obv call it off with a set and if he's terrible he'll call with AA too, bc he has an ACE and an ACE!I could be way off, but I think it's fine/cooler post flop and prob close pre... the deepness helps your implied odds but it hurts for RIO vs the nut flush... just make the nut straight next time and stack top set

If you put him on an under pair or a straight draw with something like AJ, AQ, or JQ, I would have fired another barrel on the turn as he,s most likely going to call u down all the way to river. If he has a K, I expect him to open with a raise. If he check raises, you pretty much have a good idea that u may be behind

he doesn't like folding

[SuperJon 175]

he doesn't like folding

Simply put, yes.What's strange is that I only had about 125 hands on him, and he was running 21/12, and I wasn't too out of line at this particular table.

So opener is a 21/21 semi reg, so he is pretty wide, but BB was a 36/10 who never folded his BB. So i decided to flat and play the hand 3 way.. Obviously I bet flop when it comes to me, but then when BB raised me up, so the question is. Do we just flat? If we flat its still real easy to get it in by the river so not worried about that. There is a flush draw, and him raising his flush draws definitly possible. So with flushes being a big part of his range, do we flat and see what the turn brings or do we just get it in and hope to dodge a club? I think even if no club comes on the turn, he will still bet or call a big bet on the turn.Full Tilt Poker $0.10/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 1168466DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History ConverterHero (BTN): $25.00SB: $17.25BB: $30.70UTG: $43.42MP: $25.00CO: $50.34Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BTN with K T 2 folds, CO raises to $0.75, Hero calls $0.75, 1 fold, BB calls $0.50Flop: ($2.35) J Q A (3 players)BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $2, BB raises to $4.50, CO folds, Hero ???

[SuperJon 175]

I wouldn't completely rule out a flush draw if you have some sort of read, but I don't see too many players that play 36/10 that will raise a flush draw instead of just calling with it.I think his hand is more like Ax, JQ, random crap, and occasionally a flush draw.I personally just try to get it in on the flop against a fish.
