Well not sure what you're asking, with a full house this seems like standard play

EDIT: The check on the turn is somewhat suspicious so I guess Ts are possible, but I don't know how you can lay down a full house here if that's what you're asking. It also seems somewhat odd he'd check the river since it's almost a certainty you're going all-in no matter what hits at this point.

The only river cards I would imagine not pushing with are an Ace or King, but I probably suck it up and stick it in anyway.

That's a pretty ballsy call preflop. Do you typically do that with low pairs?

easy call with the PP, well played. Would have been sweet if you had about $150 or so to cover his entire stack.. back in the days of playing on UB I scored some of my biggest wins in the $100 NL games.

If i hadn't been so spend thrify with my bankroll perhaps i'd be playing much higher stakes
take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

I agree with the call heads up against the BB, He reraises I'm still thinking either an overbet AK or weakbet QQ. The guy has no reads on Fnord, and prolly doesn't like the first hand aggression. Why'd he bet out the flop? This looks like a continuation bet here. If I have TT right here, I go for the rereraise. Maybe I'm a bit agg on that spot, but there are plenty of players who can't laydown the low set. I think this was played perfect, What did he have QQ?

AA, horribly misplayed. Gave just about any 2 cards odds on every street.

If you aren't making these calls, you are missing out on the most profitable play in poker.

LMAO, why play poker when you can limp sets and camp AA/KK and maybe QQ/AK all day?

To be honest Fnord, I'm happy that I was reasonably close on the read. This week I've been writing down my reads on a piece of paper and then checking them with what they show and I'm constantly getting closer. This site is doing its job, helping ppl become profitable players....

Are you kidding?

Preflop: Fnord is CO with 4, 4. Fnord posts a blind of $1.
5 folds, Fnord (poster) raises to $3, 2 folds, BB raises to $7, Fnord calls $4.

Hero is getting about 2.5:1 odds to call here with huge implied odds facing a preflop reraise if he hits his set. Easy call here and it's not even close..

I like the raise preflop with the baby PP.. even when you could have limped (checked in this case), it goes a long way toward concealing your hand and helping you get paid off if you hit a set or a boat.

Also Fnord.. something you may want to think about.. which may not apply to this hand because of the reraise preflop which screams high pockets and the multiple straight possibilities on the board, but a slightly smaller turn bet may entice more calls/pushes on the turn while still committing them for their stack on the river. It's worth a discussion at the very least.

$30 on the turn $50 on the river?
