To be honest-my reads on both villians was completely wrong. I had UTG pegged for a smaller flush and UTG+1 pegged for something like K9/AK, which is why I only called the turn-I honestly thought...

I put so many quarters into various SF2 machines across town. My life changed when I learned to throw a hadoken with Ryu.

My line of thinking was two-fold:

-by the turn, a weak draw or face cards aren't going to call a turn bet.
-if I let either of them catch anything, I'll make up the bet.

The problem specific...

Why didn't you re-raise pre-flop?

While I MIGHT have gotten a call from the flush draw on the turn, but AJ probably would have folded. A GREAT river card came and I was able to get an extra bet from both of them.

The BB's all-out aggression scared me away and put me into call down mode. I have a note for him that says "draw to OESD-watch out for turn/river raises/reraises." I had him on AA, KK, QQ, or AQ.

I loosen up and start calling too much when some sucker rivers a gutshot or some long-shot draw. I tend to make it personal and just want to get the money back from him, so I start calling marginal...

I've made a few posts about maxing out your profits on big hands, but I rarely find myself being the victim of a massive slowplay on a monster hand.

I've been sticking around .25/.50-and I...

Hand 1: Yes you can fold. You don't have a flush, and you can be up against AQ (with his A possibly being the club). If the flop had come 1 club, and runner-runner clubs came, I might not be as...

So, with this guy pretty much just calling down the coming out of the woodwork on the river, I probably shouldn't have capped. Seemed like a real long-shot that I was behind to a flush, though =/
...

I fold the river. BTN COULD be just firing away with an ace because he's short-stacked, but with 2 people besides you still in the hand (one of them firing away), and you only having 4th pair, I...

If I was a betting man, I'd say you're up against J10 or AK. Anything better raises you on the river.

I think if the SB had been before me and called BB's bet, I would have.

Ordinarily, given the preflop action, I want to keep them both around as long as possible. After playing a few rounds...

ALMOST!

MP2 had JJ, CO had 10 5 off-suit (figure that one out =/)

I had no real read on the guy-hadn't really done anything worth noticing until this hand...

After the preflop, flop, and turn action, I couldn't fathom losing to this, but I probably shouldn't...

The first one had me scratching my head on the turn. I LOVE punishing these types of people-I also love when I catch on the river, though =/


#1 I realize the river play is pretty weak, but at...

I called this meaning to call a hand at a different table...and it was going so well until the river :(

Suffice it to say, my flop aggression wasn't arbitrary.

When I tell you what my notes on this guy said, you'll ask why I even posted this hand in the first place. I was just happy my note was...

If "ifs and buts" were candy and nuts...

This guy couldn't have screamed "AK" any harder, so I'm not THAT proud of it...but still...

The table was pretty passive, so I felt like any bet before the river would have shoved someone out. Turned out I let MP3 draw to 4s full, so it turned out well.

Trust me, when you get check/raised you're beat. Especially at these limits where no one folds to a check/raise on the river.[/quote]

Heh-not always. Last nigh I played a 500-hand session (same...

This table had been semi-tight this far, so with this much action preflop, I put people on med/high PPs and face cards

On the flop, I couldn't really convince myself I was behind to a straight,...

As I said in the title, this guy has been losing pot after pot, and I don't have any reason to believe his pre-flop aggression is anything but recklessness. I went ahead and just put him all-in...
