    I had my Chase Visa declined. Then remembered that my Wells Fargo ATM card had a Visa logo on it and tried that. It went right through, so I assume WF has no probs with online deposits?

    Games are a lot tighter. I usually 13-table at 25NL or 8-table at 50NL, and I can't fill up my dance card without getting some tables with players-to-flop stats in the single digits. Many of the fish...

    I agree with shoving the turn (might have even done it on the flop) to shut down draws.

    Nut flush draw facing all in

    Do I call this flop bet? Didn't really want to raise with the pf raiser behind me. Also, was the preflop call bad?

    MP2 was 59/50/2 over only 22 hands (don't think I had that on my HUD at the time)...

    Best way to get the stack?

    I was playing 2 hands at once and feel like I played this pretty badly. How would you play it differently on any street(s) to possibly take villain's stack? Villain is 22/3/o.42 over 78 hands.

    I don't like c/r here unless you read the button preflop rr as really thin. (In which case I wouldn't fold pre either.) If he has an overpair, he will probably call your c/r and you are still behind....

    I think he'll call with lots of hands that you beat. I don't like the PSB though; more like 2/3 is what I would do on this board.

    I usually cbet unless the board is very drawy. If you don't, it...

    Poll: On the button in an unopened pot

    Is this situation always a raise or fold decision? Or are there times when it is smarter to limp here? (If so, I expect based on reads, what are the exceptions?)

    I'll raise 33 in SB if I have both opps pegged as tight. Chances are I'll then take it down preflop. If not, look to flop that set, and I'm hopefully up against a tpgk type hand I can stack. Without...

    How to play this?

    This hand was from our bar league weekly tourney. Blinds were at 100/200, ready to go up to 200/400 in just a few minutes. I had only 2500 left. We needed to lose another dozen or so players to make...

    Rules question

    This happened at our weekly bar league tourney. I looked at QJ of spades and decided to call a preflop raise. The hand ended when I made a river call against a player who tried a bluff with an ace on...
