Sklansky Bucks aren't the same as All In Equity. Sklansky Bucks calculates street by street equity.

yeah, figured that out right as i posted it...whoopssssiiiieeee

FWIW, I don't think I jumped all over him. The point I was making is that there are 0 merits for checking that flop......like ever. So for him to even talk about "merits" is going way down the wrong path. People make mistakes all the time when giving advice on a hand, including myself, the real issue is when you backtrack and try to say you didn't say what you said when if anyone just goes backs and reads they can see exactly what was said. That's all. We ALL say shit we shouldn't, take responsibility and move on.

I believe he wasn't saying he would check on that flop, he was just trying to say checking may not be horrible. As you all pointed out, checking is money-suicide, but as I said, I am pretty sure he wasn't saying he WOULD check that flop.I think everyone was just on a different level of that topic.

If he's calling with ATC you should make a bigger 3bet to maxamize the money that goes in when you're ahead. I would not c-bet this flop and would probably just give up.

edit: i was looking at the wrong hand me thinks haha

Depending on how the other players are playing at the time I don't think checking that flop is a bad option. Only for the reason that C-betting into 3 people on that board really puts you at a minimum of QJ. I don't know if they are observant to know that or not. You'll also get free cards after they realize you check with a big hand at times.I'm not saying betting is bad but it puts you on a strong narrow range when checking puts you at a wider weaker range unless you Cbet this flop with AK/AJ.

The only thing I would say about this hand is to make a slightly bigger flop bet. His range is going to be all of this cordnated board and your range still fairs well against his range. I'd bet 11.25 or something.

His range based on previous play could be almost anything on the flop and doesn't narrow all that much on the turn.

Sklansky Bucks calculates how badly you're running and how likely it is that the resulting tiltage will lead you to become a sicko pervert who bangs blind retards.

Is it really that bad calling with 98s? Seems to me like they're a bunch of unimaginative nitty fucks.

It's not gonna play great OOP against a reg who is 3 betting an UTG raise. I think the bigger issue is his flop min raise which is typically to induce more action. The main person going off about how bad it is (other than the person that posted the hand0 is definitely one of the top 5 regs at 1/2. He was a winning player at 2/4 and moved down to mass table. One of the few that might actually get me to leave a seat when he sits on my left. I love how once people start chiming in on the hand, others chime in about that person being horrible, lol.

I didn't really read the HH, just the comments pretty much. But I usually see minraises as exactly what it was, a flush draw, or some sort of draw where you want to be deceptive but do it cheaply. So that's worse to me than it being something that might be to induce action. I don't see that as often as I see it for exactly what it was.I just don't think he has much of a reason to be mad.

LMAO, haven't we had this discussion before? Most of the people commenting are pretty good and Krmont would never be considered an unimaginative nit. Pots against regs, especially 3 bet pots have so many different dynamics, are verrrrrrrrry different from pots you play with fish. For the most part him calling that raise there 100 BB's deep isn't going to be very profitable. He is very, very spewy and that hand kind of illustrates it.
