  1. Aimhigher (Si2k63 on Stars) is playing in the $9.90 NLHE (1R1A turbo) on Stars right now....3/8Hurry or you'll miss the shove/luck-fest!1st = 1.5k....TID imo.
  2. If you think the player is bad enough then I love a shove. Most players in his spot think that they have the nuts. He's only worried about one hand and probably won't take the time to put you on that hand. He's got to have a T here and I'm willing to bet he would've called a shove convinced it's at least a split.
  3. Wow, I hope TraptSteve was joking....You played the hand fine, and I don't ever see how auto-checking the river with a straight-flush(even the butt end) is ever the correct play. He's easily putting the rest of his money in with AcKx on that river, but I think you should just put him in rather than bet tiny. If he can call the $40 then he can call $83, and you wouldn't have to worry about "what's he c/r'ing the river with?!?". Call me a donkey if, not giving your opponent credit for holding the only card in the deck that beats you, is a bad play. Conclusion: the hand played itself, but just pu
  4. I'm rarely raising a small PP with a couple of limpers ahead of me, especially when it takes me putting almost 1/4 of my stack with a hand that doesn't play that well post-flop. If you think your opponents are limping super light then I don't mind it so much, but it's still an awkward hand to play post-flop.
  5. Ok, so a couple of people seem to think donk-betting the flop and folding to a raise is the way to go. But, if you're playing against me and you pull that, then I'm re-raising you here with pretty much anything, as a donk-bet on the flop is almost always a weak/mediocre hand wondering if it's good. I honestly like either a c/r, or a c/c. I don't hate the way it was played at all. Sometimes you need to let your opponents know that you will a)check TP and B) call them down, and even if we don't end up having the best hand, we get to see what he's playing(yay info). I'm always a fan of a little p
  6. Uhhhh...*stands up*My name is Ray and I like to play above my bankroll. In my first 2 months playing like 2 years ago, I built a roll up to $2k playing: .05/.1 til I got to 200, .1/.25 til I got to $400, .25/.5 til I got to $800, .5/1 til I got to 2k.....THEN, I decided I wanted to play 10/20 LHE, which I really had no idea how to play. Won a couple of huge pots, then went on to lose $1700 in a night. I almost threw up, and somehow I found myself down to $13 in my BR. I spent a week at the micro-stakes, and was back to the races. This has happened at least twice since then. Most recently I tho
  7. All of these hands I raised pre-flop at .5/1(6 max) NLHE on Bodog, and all of them I continuation bet on the flop with the best hand, but my sticky opponent would call every pre-flop raise and every bet on the flop with any pair.99 < K8(called flop bet with middle pair 8's, turned the K)KK < A2(flopped bottom pair and turned the A)JJ < QJ(don't remember specifics)AK < KJ(both flopped TP, he turned his J and rivered another J just to rub it in)Q6 < 67(both flopped trips 6's and he runner runnered a straight)JJ < 86(called flop bet with bottom pair 6's, rivered his backdoor flu
  8. I am definitely not advocating a min-raise/push the flop with BP line. I was simply saying, that if I'm putting any more chips into this pot post-flop then I am pushing, not c/r'ing. I fold/push this hand pre-flop with folding being my choice the majority of the time. I hate the min-raise pre-flop with a rag Ace.
  9. I also rarely push AK in cash games preflop. The thing is, if we're going to play AK in this spot with these stack sizes then it's push/fold. If you really think he's strong enough to where he's going to call a push then it's a super easy fold. I think it can be fun though to push this spot so that when we do find ourself in a similar/fortunate situation later with AA/KK then we will be more likely to get calls. So if you do flop TPTK then you are planning on check/calling the flop, and checking the turn as well? Thus, giving our Agg player a chance to see all five cards without putting any mo
  10. The correct move in my mind would be to simply push the flop...In a tournament setting, with as few chips as you had, a raise preflop is pretty much committing the rest of your chips on the flop(especially once you hit a pair). Check/raising him in is only going to make it easier for him to call with middle pair or any draw, although there aren't any draws on this board. Oh, and just noticed the min-raise pre-flop....Don't do that short-handed, as it never turns out too well, and we honestly don't want to see a flop with A2 IMO.
  11. What was the purpose of calling this huge overbet pre-flop if we were going to c/f almost any flop? I mean, you obviously don't think he's putting in that big of a raise with less than AK. Is JJ that unreasonable? Would he really push this flop with T's, Q's, or K's? If you put him on a big pair there's no need to put in that much money pre-flop behind. If he's any good then he isn't paying us on a A/K high board IMO. I often times fold this pre-flop, or I get crazy and put him in, but calling isn't something that makes me comfortable.
  12. The check/raise on the river is definitely a strange play. I really doubt he's checking a made full house on the river and definitely not pushing it. Hands I like to give him based on the way the hand played out.....5x, or a lower flush(he likely plays both this way). I'd likely say to myself that he was bluffing the whole time and thought he got bailed out on the river. As to what he puts you on, I have no idea, but it definitely isn't the nut flush.Needless to say, I'm almost always calling in this spot...especially against the resident maniac.
