  1. Can anyone take these off my hands...make an offer.
  2. So you're saying regardless of where the other big stack is seated, continue raising with a wide range of holdings?
  3. I've consistently had a problem with the following situation:I'm in the top 10 chips stacks with less than 100 people left. I'm at a table I've been at for an hour or more and have been stealing blinds regularly when folded to me.Now I'm suddenly moved to a new table and there's a guy who is already occupying the position I was at my last table (ie making timely steals as a large stack.) How do I get a feel for the table without risking too many chips. What range should I be raising and how does it change with respect to my seating position against the other big stack? (I don't want to si
  4. I think it's a risk/reward judgment. I wouldn't want to be in this situation in an unraised preflop pot. If I raised giving him 3:1 or worse preflop, the chances of 45 being in there are small. As is, the guy got 5:1 with no action behind him which is an easy call with 45. I don't see this as a normal hand and would only be worth playing if there's a decent shot of getting the nuts: ie AA, Ks4s, 45...etc.Emphasis: for me (my personal judgment of the risk/reward scenario), this is by no means a normal "flop a set on a dangerous board" hand. This is worse.
  5. if we check the flop and call the turn, we have to call the river.if we b/r the flop and check the turn, we can safely fold on the river.3 sb's < 2 bb's
  6. Fine, get defensive, play how you want.What is with this machismo thing around here?You are beat and are asking everyone "why did I lose this hand."I'm telling you: you did not need to be in there in the first place. If you made it 60 to go preflop and bet 125 on the flop, then I'd say reraise to 3.5 times his raise, but the fact is this hand was unraised preflop, you have little information and should get out of the way of this situation.
  7. Because you've checked the flop, you've failed to define your hand to any degree, so when the jack hits the turn you pretty much have to call, not knowing where you are. If you are c/r and call, I don't see how you're ahead of a bet on the turn unimproved (J on the turn is hardly improved.)The more I think about it did anyone consider betting the flop with the intention of 3-betting a raise practically guaranteeing a free river?
  8. You may have gained two outs. I can see arguments for a raise/fold or a fold. Calling is bad.
  9. The whole point of this discussion was that I was saying that 5 folds does not mean it is suddenly the same as a short-handed game...it is different.That is all.
  10. None.Bet the flop. If you are raised, call and c/f an unimproved turn.If you are not raised, free river.
  11. Unraised pot preflop, dangerous board...why the hell did you reraise to 700 ???You can let go of your 90 dollar investment when he raises you and chuckle after the hand and lean to your neighbor and say "i would've had a boat" but you cannot reraise to 700 in this unraised preflop pot.That said, now your odds are way too good. Call.
  12. bet the flop it's unclear how many outs you have. He could have bigger spades or a made straight or a set of jacks or KQ...You're contriving a scenario to justify your move. Stop it.
  13. Don't contrive situations in which you think you made an arguably correct play: your "they were all limping" read and your "he raises to 15 with anything" reads are not worth much and possibly defense mechanisms.In hand 1 you clearly need to protect on the flop. Thinking "if i bet, they'll KNOW i have the straight" is illogical.The push in hand 2 is very bad and should get an instacall from a better hand.
  14. If CM assumes that (to simplify) no one alive bluffs this hard and leads the river, then it doesn't matter if the villain IS bluffing, because for calculation's sake he ISN'T (since it happens zero percent of the time.)haha
