    That quote was pretty much my reasoning for checking. But like I said, I felt kind of dumb afterward when the BB showed :4d: :4c: and the MP showed :9c: :th: . I have no idea what the pocket fours...

    That's exactly what I did, and afterward, I felt kind of silly since I was way ahead, but I still felt like my reasoning was sound.

    $200 NL River?

    Just sat down at this table. My rep so far is LAG even though I'm playing TAG. I just hit a string of premium cards as soon as I sat down and played them aggressively, but never had to showdown.

    I would have mini-raised the flop to make it a pot sized bet. This way you get info early for the same price as a normal bet and you also get initiative.

    Based on the way the hand played out,...

    I would raise on the turn. He's either trying to block bet you with a draw, holding AT, or a scared Ace.

    I would call. You've been showing enough strength on every street to warrant a check raise at any point before the river. Meaning, he might as well check raise you before the flush hits if he has...

    I agree with many of the posters here. I'd make this call pf in lp and only if I have a good read on the raiser.

    This is the flop I'm looking for, so of course, I should play it. I want the...

    Re: Thoughts on "moving up"

    Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discredit you at all. That wasn't the intent of my post. I was just expressing my shock that such a thing could be true.

    So you're saying that 1000NL is...

    True story.

    I have $460, Villain has $500.

    Preflop. He limps, I raise to $10. He reraises to $30. I re-reraise him to $100 to isolate. He re-re-reraises to $200 total. I go all in for $260...

    Yes that's probably true.

    But maybe we play in different environs or maybe confirmation bias only allows me to remember losing stupid amounts of money trying to get the A-hole in the BB to fold...

    Re: Thoughts on "moving up"

    C'mon, are you serious? 1000NL is an entrance point? You would know more than me, but just with my fairly good understanding of the world, I just can't believe that. It'd be really amazing though....

    Re: Pushing draws

    Interesting question. I don't like pushing draws in a cash game, but this is a different beast altogether. I think this is a very smart play because the overpair can't call here. It looks like you...

    Re: Deathmatch: SB vs. BB

    I fold unless I have a really good hand. You have no idea what they have, they have position, and there is no pot to win. As an added bonus the next hand starts after you fold.

    Based on poker tracker stats, I play against several "fish". They are not that bad actually. I think there is a difference between calling too much and folding too much. Both are bad, but people...

    Re: top pair on low board

    I bet it. I'm probably playing a small pot here anyway, so it's not that big of a deal to throw out a pot sized bet here. I'd rather try to take the pot here rather than guess what they have when...

    Poll: Re: How would you play this hand?

    Kinda tricky. Mostly because of your weak bet on the turn. That really screws things up.

    You bet the flop repping the J or an overpair. He calls, repping the J or draw.

    You bet the turn weak...
  24. Re: Amost sure I'm up against AA - still call w/ KK?

    What are you hoping for when you re-reraise it for just 12xBB? A call from him doesn't tell you anything because even the AA might try to trap you here. Any other random hand would call because...
