Because his line looks weak as hell, he's a short stack fish and villain is likely to call with any Tx

I'd say he can't have the Qs ever lol ;)

Thanks.

I'd like to reset my stats now that I've read a fair bit, have a better understanding of the game and am getting serious about wanting to play a lot more. My current stats I've been keeping since I...

1: Play my A game every hand.
2: Play minimum of 15k hands a month, preferably 20k *
3: Start a blog here at FTR to help keep me motivated.
4: Work out how to make monthly graphs so I can...

My understanding is that it means the most that can be bet by a player in any hand. So even if you have $200 at the table, if the cap is $20 and you went AI, you would only bet $20.

Ok, I see it now and it makes sense.

Still think I prefer shipping the flop while our equity is likely at it's best. That could be a big leak in my game though.

Can someone explain why calling with the intention of stacking turn would be better than just shipping? (I honestly don't know btw)

I can't see a flop fold here any which way I look at it. Frankly I'm stacking off on the flop. He could easily be doing this with TT/JJ, A9 and probably even 88/77 sometimes.

Well then it would seem I mistook your tone, as can be easily done on the interwebs forums, so my apologies.

Perhaps advice was the wrong word.

Well you began by dismissing his response as being nothing more than "gambol is fun" etc. Then when he clarifies further you state his advice is not real world relevant as "most people" aren't...

It seems to me that you don't really see how gingerwizard's post applies to you so you are ready to simply dismiss the advice out of hand. Which funnily enough is what most here, including yourself,...

I'm with dOzer on this one.

Way out of my league but I'd be shoving if the guy is an aggro maniac. Has the advantage of meaning no more hard decisions for the hand too. :)

Hand 1: Low raise flop cbet and high bet vs missed cbet makes me want to cbet 1/2 pot as a kind of blocking bet to keep initiative and get a turn card as cheap as possible. Fold to raise as he's...

38.........way too old!

Hadn't considered this point.

I see what you mean about black queens but I don't really see many worse 4 flush possibilities villain would check call pre with and continue to river after hitting a...

Just to explain my thinking..........

I'm fine with checking cause a shit load of the deck on the turn or river means I pretty much have to fold. I'd rather not bloat the pot at this stage with a...

On this board I'm happy to check flop and see what villain does on turn and river. Would probably call blanks on both depending on size and timing. Would call a small bet on either turn or river if...

True. Didn't actually notice sample was only 20ish too.

Probably check behind. Maybe b/f. If I bet and If he calls flop I shut down unless I improve to a set, in which case I'd bet turn or OESD...

Personally I'd be 3betting pre BvB with 77+

As played I'd call river.

Personally I use the phrase to basically mean a situation where I think it is too close for me to make the proper decision. Maybe that's because I suck at making decisions and maybe it's because it...

I'd be folding only because there will be much better opportunities against a fish like this. I'm not convinced he has much but frankly he doesn't need much to be beating us here. I've seen that...

I b/f flop. If I get 1 caller and turn is blank I b/f again and check river if not improved. If I get 2 callers on flop I'd c/f turn.

Knew it was a level, didn't understand it at all though. I guess you really do learn something new everyday if you try! Thanks deadstraddle3.
