    Or... cc'ing one of the most proven NL players in the world w/ QT preflop after he raised utg, (because you know that "his way" is no longer THE way, and can't work against me) is +EV!

    Preflop

    I rarely ask too many preflop questions, but here's one for you that a buddy and I totally disagree about:

    The limit is basically irrelevant, but to put a number on it, we're playing $8/16, 6max....

    I actually wasn't focused on the turn too much here, as I was caught waay off guard when you raised river.

    You're correct, tho... turn call no good.

    I'm guessing you knew the second you hit the raise btn, it was spewage.

    Sounds like a last second, impulse raise... without a whole lot of thought attached?!

    1) Standard preflop. I'd check turn, inducing river bluff, calling ANY river.

    3) Lead flop/cap. Tough river decision UI

    The bets you missed in this hand will add-up very very fast. I actually like leading this flop, hoping for someone to get out of line, so I can either 3bet or C/R turn.

    I'm b/c'ing here.

    If you bet and get raised, do you really want to risk getting capped with 2 small pair? Squeeze the river... but 3betting is overplay imo.
  17. When Should The Obvious Play Be Reconsidered?
