If you're doing stop-and-go it's a call preflop and then push no matter what the flop is.
I feel you've just got more options when 8h6h comes up, you can (just about) afford to call and fold, or...
Same here, I'd have rather played the 8-6 hand, maybe with a stop-and-go angle.
I don't think you're desperate to play a hand yet when you get dealt the A3, however based on his aggression and...
If we give the villain the benefit of the doubt, or put your read into his head, it could be argued that he called with A9o because the last hand you played against him was A5o
He was probably...
Putting all your chips in there to win the pot is +EV
I'm pushing there 90% of the time
I've staked someone here once, for a measly $12. I never saw it again. It's the principle not the amount, so thats the last time I'll ever lend money.

Short stacked (as per usual) after my nut flush ran into a FH on the river

as given, I call, but if really want to win that pot I probably just push on the flop and hope he folds or calls with a worse heart draw. If he has a King, at least I've still got some outs.
Thanks for the comments guys
I tend not to play mutli tournaments at the same time, you miss too much information that stops you from finding opportunities against other players.
Very occasionally I will start 3 or 4 cheap or...
You don't have much information, but the bet doesn't make a lot of sense, unless he's got trip 8's. I think I'd call it.
I think with such little info going to the flop you could risk check-raising...
The thing is, just cause he pushed on your first example it doesn't really give you a read. All you know is he pushed "something", so unless he's pushing like once an orbit or has been called in...
These are all hands from the final table yesterday in the $3 rebuy on Stars. Just curious as to others opinions about playing them.
Reads : Ruben enjoys being big stacked and bullying or calling...
These are both folds IMO, if you're raising with crap to get the blinds you should be doing it from the cutoff or cutoff-1 at the earliest.
You're basically trying to push through half the table,...
- what they said.
Call, see a flop, re-assess. Treat an unknown just like a 15/5 till u have a read.
Against a 35+, reraise preflop

Does that make you feel smart ?
One I wanted to make sure my reads are on, two it gave me a good image at the table for reraising players, I made back far more than what I lost on that call simply...
Lower flushes raise that turn to get value and protect against redraw and nutflush also can raise it to build the pot if money is deep enough.
Nice representation, but you have to make it $5-$6 if...
ok, guess I'll tell you my thought process then anyway, perhaps it aint as interesting a hand as I thought.
Preflop -
First, I know villain will usually only play decent cards out of position...
If u had the nut flush u would be unlikely to reraise the turn, if he has the As anyway he knows u dont have the nut flush. Luckily this time he can only call your allin on the river with either the...
Here's a hand, what's your read, explain, analyse, discuss... i think it's useful, villain is an 'ok' standard player
