    Of course if he has a flush here every time it's a fold. However, assuming no reads, it would be a call with this bet sizing.

    The more he bets, the more he has to be bluffing for you to call. ...

    I was originally going to shut down on the turn if I didn't hit, but I'm addicted to betting my draws. On the turn I was thinking I was likely still ahead, and wanted to get it all in if I hit my...

    Preflop 3-bet fancy play hits draw

    Villain is 58/27/1 with folds flop/turn/river % of 20/0/13 (77 hands). He doesn't seem to care about position preflop. He's reraised me from the blinds a few times.

    I wouldn't normally reraise...

    It's not really related to how much you've put into the pot. It's the effective amount of money left to go in compared to the pot size.

    Basically, you are pot committed if the pot odds are there...

    Tallinn is great. I lived there all last year. I started playing poker because I worked for 24hpoker for a bit (who own B2B). I'm heading back for a holiday in a few days.

    You keep the villains guessing by reraising a wider range.

    Also, you need to get a read on what he does when you reraise. If he's always calling, then reraise a larger amount. If he's always...

    It may not be easy to see this, but logic doesn't really play much of a part in this except at the most basic levels.

    E.g.:
    H1: I want to make money.
    H2: Making decisions entirely based on maths...

    I use "folds cbet"/"folds turn"/"folds river". If opp has a low folds c-bet and a high folds turn I do more second barrels against them.

    I'll be adding cbet and cbet turn soon I think. They...

    Hand 1 you're calling $24 to make a $104 pot. That's not direct odds (without overcards as outs) but they're pretty good. And you have 2 streets, 2 opponents, and position on your side to make up...

    Top two with 4 to a flush

    I've not noticed villains hands at showdown, but he's been running at about 44/5/7 over 40 or so hands. He folds a lot, but whenever he wants to play he plays hard. He's overbet the flop, bet the...

    Giving a free card can be OK, but I don't think it is in this hand. I would check here if opponent was likely to play aggressively against your apparent weakness, but usually not.

    This is the best strategy post for a long time. It's well written and easy to read and understand as well, unlike most similar posts by others without a clue.


    Brilliant!

    No, but I do a lot of wipes. Gotta clean that thing right out, or I'm with the shower people.

    Scrunching seems to be a less efficient use of paper (I can get a good wipe with 3 pieces, and no risk of fingers breaking through). I'm too lazy to lean forward to...

    Big overbet with a set.

    My first 3 hands at the table. I've not seen much of these guys before, if at all. No stats. The first 2 hands are standard, but lead into my play in the third hand.
