reDZill4 asks for opinions about the best betting strategy for a hand in our High Stakes NL Hold'em Forum.v is 28/21 9% 3b. 33% raise cbet (6). Only recent history (arguably irrelevant) is he stacked me earlier when he c/r KK as pfr from utg (fr)on 677cc and I 4b/c AQcc. I was thinking that calling gives him the opportunity to continue bluffing. But, that allows him to play perfectly on the river in terms of bluffing frequencies. As I don't have many reads on his tendencies I'm unsure what the optimal line is here. Stacks: UTG LeRhaqs ($2,340) UTG+1 gregy20723 ($1,000) CO cadillac0001 ($280) BTN fantasticcow ($1,759) SB Hero ($1,977) BB Altrum Altus ($1,000) Pre-Flop: ($15, 6 players) Hero is SB, KsJh LeRhaqs folds, gregy20723 folds, cadillac0001 folds, fantasticcow folds, Hero raises to $30, Altrum Altus calls $20 Flop: 9h8d10d ($60, 2 players) Hero bets $40, Altrum Altus raises to $127, Hero calls $87 Turn: 7c ($314, 2 players) Hero checks, Altrum Altus bets $218, Hero ? Genitruc: call turn check-call any non-diamond river seems about right, if somewhat transparent. maybe check-call and calling any river is better. pocketfours: Flop call seems thin. As played I'm def jamming turn. griffey24: I'm kind of torn on this. I think jamming turn gets us owned by QJ and Jxdd a fair bit. At the same time, if he has a hand like JT or J9 or something, we are free-rolling him. I guess this would depend on whether we expect villain to bet diamonds here, and whether he will b/c them here. IowaSkinsFan: Absolutely call. I think I'd just fold flop as well but its close. Click here to read more from this topic in our Poker Forum. Poker News | Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke Part Ways with UB

Qualifying for the PCA Bahamas can be done for less than $1, although players will have to battle through several online tournaments. More experienced players opt to enter modest PCA rebuy satellites or PCA freezeouts with buy-ins upwards of $200. Sit and Go specialists have been known to grind the PokerStars step satellites. Live PCA Satellites are few and far between, but Mohegan Sun and Golden West Casino hosted a limited number that awarded seats to the 2011 PCA. Typically PCA Poker Prize Packages award qualifiers a PCA Main Event Seat, accommodations at the luxurious Atlantic Resort and Casino, and spending money. These PCA Poker Packages are valued at more than $10,000. The variety of tournaments at the PokerStars PCA is mesmerizing and PokerStars continues to expand the schedule each year. The 2011 PCA is slated be the biggest yet, and spans more than a week from January 6th to January 16th. In addition to a Main Event, participants will find a PCA Ladies Event, Charity Event, Bounty Tournament, and tournaments with zany rules such as H.O.E. and Fiple Draw. PokerStars has even managed to combine poker fishing in the Fish and Chips Showdown. Thankfully, the results on the felt will be weighted more than what a player can do as an angler.
