Folding QQ to aggression was one of the best things I ever learned. Fold pre.

Alright, then lets narrow his range:

Villian went set-hunting with bad odds. You stack off here and be happy that villian is retarded.

This seems like an easy fold to me. When you're calling hoping to be even money but expecting to be a 9:1 dog, that isn't good poker.

Here's the scenario that I'm seeing:

It looks like you only disagree with 1, 2, and 9, or did I miss something?

Clearly #3 is a bit of an exaggeration, but sitting to the right of a good lag is extremely difficult when your goal is...

I just got back from an AC trip playing $1/2 and $2/5 NLHE and learned a few important lessons about live poker.

1. Never play tired. It's like burning money.

+1 for Dean. I hate how you played #1 and #2, do as Dean said. They should be aggression-town, you're way ahead.

Hand #3 is an easy raise to $42, then shut down to opposition.

He calls with tons of hands that you crush: T9, JJ, QQ, KK, AT. He could easily call with other strange crap like JT, QJ, 88, A9, etc.

I play a small-pot style of poker where I try to steal blinds / small pots when in position. Are there any glaring leaks in these stats, or does this seem like business as usual? I play 50NL and...

c/c flop, c/c turn, and bet river for 2/3 pot. I prefer not to bet or c/r flop with quads, just in case he has KQ, spades, or a pair. By slow playing, you at least give him a chance to back door...

I know this is kind of old, but I thought you guys would want to know the outcome: I folded, UTG folded, and CO did not show his hand.

Based on what you guys said, I think my flop play was...

I see two options which are equally good in the long run.

1. Raise to $35 with the intention of folding to a shove. If he flat calls and the turn is a non-diamond, you shove.

2. Raise to at...

Nothing wrong with folding, here. It is amazing how often people will make that play with the nut flush, hoping a straight or weak flush will call. It is extremely rare for people to make that kind...

On turn, take the free card. He's not going anywhere, and he may make a crying call if you hit the river. You don't want to put any more money into this pot without the flush or (possibly) two pair.

So, are you guys thinking this is CO's range?

UTG has stats over 97 hands: 61.86/3.09/0.43
He is a horrendous, loose player. Once he bets the flop, he tends to continue betting the whole way, typically with nothing.

CO has stats over 185...

If we really think he will fold KQ, KJ, and QJ to a re-raise from the big blind, then the check becomes more reasonable, but I still don't like it. The reason is that you cannot win this pot if you...

I don't like how they played either hand, and you played them both just fine.

Hand #1, they should have raised flop or turn, take your pick. However, they had someone consistently betting into...

Raise with glee! This is a god flop for your hand. Even against the hands that have you crushed (straights, sets, and two pair), you're almost even money:

The pre-flop raise seems great blind vs. blind. However, I hate the flop check. There are way too many over cards in his range that don't include an ace (KJ, KQ, QJ), which he should fold given a...

Easy fold. I'm looking to push back with 66+/KJ+ when HU, or with significantly better (JJ+/AQ+) after uber nit comes into the pot. The nit doesn't need to raise to isolate, the 8xBB raise by UTG+1...

Hero raised 5xBB from UTG+1, of course 22-99 will frequently fold to a c-bet. If this was a 3xBB button raise, things change.

The river seems like the only street not worth betting. On flop or turn you're at least representing the king and have the added threat of more bets on later streets. On the river, that threat is...

I find it questionable how sustainable LAG is in SNG's. TAG with a good push/fold game tends to be profitable at all small to mid buy-ins (maybe at high, too, don't know), but LAG tends to have...
