This hand I'm not to sure about making the right play, but this is 6max so if I'm against AA/KK with QQ I'll gladly pay that off since it is so rare...I figured AK maybe.

The only reason I was willing to put so much into this pot with TPTK was because 1) he was very small stacked compared to me and 2) he had suffered some tough beats soon before this hand

Standard stuff. Pots start getting more exciting now.

[AHiltz]

right after the 47 and he said "nice" the correct response would have been "shhhhhhhh, I'm counting your chips" followed by a nice "LIVEBOON"

nice hands

Thanks, means a lot coming from you

AHiltz, LMFAO

You think hand 3 was good? I know I'm not supposed to put a lot of chips in with TPTK lol

[PokerPatNEU]

I think hand 3 is fine. The only hand you're really paying off there normally is AA but its less common at 6max so i think the raise is fine given his stack. With deeper stacks, probably fold if he comes over the top there. Grats on moving up.

[Rondavu]

Hey, I'm only at 100-200NL / $30-$50 SnG, so I'm not too far ahead.

Was a tad scared of the straight here, but I was willing to GAMBooL a bit, and I did have a bunch of outs to fill up...but looking back I shouldn't have put all my chips in with that other guy sitting with $21 in the hand

[PokerPatNEU]

On the first hand of that recent post, i probably raise the flop. OESD + Flush draw is a winning hand vs most sets, two pairs, TPTKs, etc. Raising also disguises your draw, if a flush card hits and you're still betting, people with things like two pair are more likely to call you thinking they still have you beat.

Second hand with all that action i'm definitely raising the flop. Even if you take it down right there its a really nice pot, but given all the action on the flop i think you are likely to get a call with someone who has 1 draw or the other or another strong hand (two pair, AJ maybe) and you will be going in as a big favorite.

3 looks good. Raising a continuation bet at 25NL is a great +EV play if you see someone continuing a lot. They will often call with nothing then check/fold the turn to you. Too bad you actually had a decent hand here, would have been more fun to make this play with crap card Nh.

Hand four is the same as 3. Good one.
