I sucked on this one. I ended up folding and I'm pretty sure I made an error. In hindsight, yes: tons of OESD, overpairs, pair-plus-draw hands he could have. I should've picked him off. Ah well,...

I sucked on this one. I ended up folding and I'm pretty sure I made an error. In hindsight, yes: tons of OESD, overpairs, pair-plus-draw hands he could have. I should've picked him off. Ah well,...
1/2 NL. Villain (sitting on ~$135) is slightly looser and weaker than a typical OMC. Hero's image is very TAG, only showing big hands and not playing too many hands, either. I'm sitting on $500.
...
I called river and Villain showed A:h:Q:d: for TPTK turned into a bluff? I was flabbergasted. I feel like villain spewed on every street. He could have punished in the BB preflop, should have bet...
$1/3NL. Hero has a tight image, has only shown down winners. Villain is the only LAG at the table but hasn't been a complete maniac. Effective stacks are $275.
Mainly my question is about the...
+1. Yes, this. You need to play in a very specific manner on the bubble. ICM comes into play, and your calling requirements when facing a shove for your tournament life are very, very tight. HOH says...
Clear fold. HOH volume three (bubble play).
1/2NL, effective stacks ~$240. Villain is an excellent poker player. I respect his game a lot. His bet sizing is consistently excellent and he makes commitment decisions early. He loves to play in...
Ok, more of my thoughts in hindsight:
Preflop, after 1 limper in this weak game, I'm ok with raising some crap hands like 97o,68s,57s, etc., especially in late position. Lots of lags and I won't...
Sorry, that was un-PC. I should have said "OMC sterotypes apply" -- loose weak preflop, tight weak post flop. I'll edit my post if I can. The whole table was like that.
Wow. You're the card...
Villain is an older asian guy, stereotypes apply. 1/3NL He's sitting on my immediate left with $225 and I have him covered. Table is full of awful passive players.
One limper, Hero is hijack and...
How about raising the flop to ~55BB?
Great post. I'm normally a huge fan of value-betting the river. But maybe not here.
Let's see, you could get some value out of QQ/JJ/99, maybe KQ. But what do you do if he check-raises the river?...
Yeah, I misplayed this. I ended up just calling on the river, villain showed 222 and I was left wondering how I failed to stack a guy with set-over-set.
Like everyone has said, I think it's worth noting again that his flop c/r makes a straight much less likely. I'm thinking this is a shove. And I should have bet more on the flop or at least re-raised...
Against a tight range of just very strong hands on the turn, looks like I'm ahead 45% of the time:
Board: 2s Th Jd Qc
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: ...
1/2NL in Vegas, Villain is a young guy, seems like a fish and he plays very passively until now. He has about $200 behind, I have him well covered. I've been on a heater and my image is somewhat LAG,...
Welcome to the forums. The good news is you know you have room for improvement, so posting this hand is a good start.
You need to study the game. Get some books on cash play. You made several...
I think rpm is on the right path here: isn't this a case of range manipulation? Shoving the flop folds out a lot of what we're beating. If Villain has TP, two pair, we can get more value if we raise...
UTG raise? You're drawing dead to AK (yes, you could runner-runner chop) and beating sets and two pair. Still, AK is squarely in his range, K9 unlikely.
Shove on the flop seems spewy because...
Good point, Pascal. Bring a puppy to the tournament table, I guess, and get ready to drop kick whenever you shove light.
Look at it this way: bad beats happen to good players more often than bad players. It means you got your money in good. So variance means you'll suffer a bad beat from time to time.
Likewise, bad...
I used to know this stuff, but my tourney skills have faded since I stopped playing online.
Blinds are $400/800. 11 players left in tourney, 5 at my table. Home game.
Villain is a very good...
Bet flop 100%.
Like you said, it's "the speech". Think about your check-raise on the river and have a plan in advance for what to so if he ships over. Is the K-high flush really doing that along...
Thanks. I didn't get to try out a flush bluff in this case because the turn was a perfect 7:d:. We got it all in and his jaw dropped at showdown which was kind of fun.
Anyway, something to think...
1/2 NL. I have $250 behind.
Hero opens $8 in EP with T:c:9:c:. We are four handed to a flop of:
$30 Flop: T:h:8:c:6:c:
Hero leads for $16. Two callers:
Villain #1 (~$120 behind) is a...
