    My default is check/fold.

    Based on your read that he likes to slow-play big hands, he doesn't seem like type that's capable of making this fold often.

    That said, if you think he is, I'd fire...

    Am I not only behind AJ, KJ and QJ in that range? I tie with JT and I'm ahead of J9.

    I raised the flop because of the possible flush draw, and the fact I lead out pre-flop. Most players know this is the kind of board that's not likely to hit me, so by raising I can get value and he's...
  5. JT, flopped trips, what to do on the turn? (2/5)

    I raised JTs on the BTN, standard raise against limpers with a 100BB+ stack. $2/5 live. I am pretty new to the table so I have no reads and villains have no reads on me.

    QQ - What to do the flop?

    So I'm sitting with about $340 at a 2/5 NL game, 68BB. One limper before me, I raise QQ 2 off the BTN to $25 (5BB).

    Read on the Villain: He's a middle aged (just turned 30?), likely experienced...

    True, but I don't really see him calling without an ace or a hand he really wants to draw there anyway.

    can you explain please why not to bet so much on the flop? if I have the best hand, don't I want more money in the pot?

    Full tilt poker's bonus is easier to clear at lower stakes, but the other people's suggestions are also valid.

    I agree with JKDS, bet turn, infact, shove turn since opponent only has $3.35 left. Pot is too large to fold for $3.35, given villain could have a flush draw.

    Not betting the turn gives a flush...

    Hand 1 - Only three players to the flop, and no one has shown any preflop strength. Betting is fine. Check/calling is actually fine too. Against a raise, you may actually still be ahead, this is 2NL...

    Late position raisers have less credibility than an early position raise generally for having a pair. That would be the only hand you could represent.

    +1 - QFT.

    When pulling a bluff, you always, ALWAYS have to ask the question whether your bluff looks believable if you were in your opponent's shoes. And you have to be honest with yourself here.

    I never implied I have nothing to learn from FTR, to say so would not only be arrogant, it'd be plain dumb on my part. There is no poker player out there who knows everything there is to know about...

    I don't see calling being correct here. I'd say 'folding' might actually be the correct play here. By just calling, you set yourself up for being re-raised, and very often give the other opponents...

    i'd say the main question is, is he a player that's likely to call with say, JT, KT, etc? if so, go for the small value bet.

    If he happens to have A6+, that's a shame, but you'd get paid off...
