I've played trystero, he didn't impress me that much!And binkkk the 2.4k. Pretty sure I lost like 1k in equity being 3rd in chips (and twice 4th) and having the 2 chipleaders on my left for the FT

I had been doing really good at this table, so I went off what I've been trying to only play at BB. Just a tad. The ethics of how I got in doesn't really matter. What does matter is the 5th, and how to go about going there. I read the guy to my right didn't have a K, and the UTG didn't bet, so I assume a Q would give me top pair out of these guys. With an A giving me top top pair, as well with the added inside straight draw, I'm looking at 10 outs. I get into these positions quite often. I want to throw a semi-bluff out there. How do you play in this position?Moooooooooooraaawwwr.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em $0.01/$0.02 - 5 playersUTG: $1.77 CO: $1.90 Button: $1.10 SB: $1.38 BB: $1.10 (Hero)Preflop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with (5 players)UTG calls $0.02, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.04, UTG calls $0.04Flop: ($0.18) (3 players)SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checksTurn: ($0.18) (3 players)SB checks, Hero checks, UTG HAHA

Nice score. You've inspired me to quit playing cash and try to make it in MTTs

Going for my second month of Iron Man. Four-table 50NL Rush for 45 minutes per day. Rinse. Repeat.

So that IS you playing rush. Saw the name a lot lately (but now at 100NL, so I guess you've moved up?), was wondering if it was you. You're not all that much fun to play against, but its somewhat offset by the whole 'reset dynamics after each hand' set up. As for Iron Man - yea, Rush, especially if you can play during rush happy hour, is really a great way to keep your status. If its a day where I'm not really in to playing or the tables aren't good, 30mins during happy hour for the 200 points, and then save my heavy grinding days for when I'm focused.14th month in a row of Iron level, holding out hope that they come through with their promise to upgrade the Iron Man program.

What do you do when you're on the turn with 10+ outs, but don't actually have anything yet? Personally. Also, is it a good thing I win most of my pots without going to showdown?

This question is way too general for us to answer. We would need to know position, stack sizes, preflop and flop action, your hand, and the board - at a minimum.

I can see reasons for not betting flop, but I hate the turn check.

I can see reasons for not betting flop, but I hate the turn check.

Why? How does this turn put us ahead of any hands that could have hit the flop? Unless you put him on QJ...

[babylondonks 5]

wat? Why on earth wouldn't you value bet?

wat? Why on earth wouldn't you value bet?

I lose to AA, QQ, JJ, AQ, AJ both on the flop and the turn. I don't know how often he's gonna have one of those hands but i tend to believe that he's more likely in that range if he called my 3-bet. I can only get value from like... A10, Kings and maybe Q10 or J10? Or to be fair a couple of hands a donk would overplay there like any mid-ace he would actually call a 3-bet with (he was a winning player over something like 80k hands so i at least give credits for not being a massive lagtard). We are both pretty deep and i'm out of position on this, well, not draw heavy but certainly dangerous board so i don't want to commit myself to the pot. So i'm either way behind or way ahead on the turn. If i bet and he folds, then i win a pot i was pretty much destined to win anyway. If i bet and he calls, i'm still unsure if he's ahead or behind; i simply increased the pot in the process and may commit myself if he raises. So i thought i would just check/call it down. This way, i might get value from the hands i beat that he wouldn't call with otherwise (he's pretty aggro). The flaw is that i might win a small pot against A10 but lose a big one against AQ but that doesn't seem as bad as losing a bigger pot if he has QQ/JJ or winning the pot as it is if i bet, which is as small as i can win it.I might have gave him too much credits on his range tho. I might also have a flawed logic, even though it seems to make sense to me.
