Ran K-K's into a flush - Could I have avoided it?
Hi All, I have another example of where I have lost a major pot after running my King's into a flush - however, despite three clubs on the board, I failed to spot that there was one...YES a large bet was made on the river, but felt my hand was good, until the cards were turned over...Would you guys have had trouble folding…

Two micro stake cash hand spots
1) First shot at NL8 for a good while. origional opener is on both NL8 tables, seems like a fairly solid reg for early reads. Not seen him get out of line at all. Which is partly why i didnt cold 4b pre. Although is that the best route? The 3better is only on this table seems pretty inactive bar a few pots here and there.…

Your views please
History - Villian (H) is an active player who probably thinks I'm solid. My thoughts. I raised pre in position for value. I check flop as I think I'm well ahead here and its such a dry rainbow flop. I bet small on turn as I think I'm well ahead and I want to get some value from say a 10 or a turned FD or a PP and give him…

What should be my river play here with 2nd nuts?
Posting this because it got discussed in chat box... and have played a lot vs villain in last month and he's not seen any of our hands in the clinic so far! I think I expect and accept certain answers, but we'll see. Villain is one of the better players at NL10 imo and quite aggressive. When he calls BvB I'm expecting him…

if i'm expecting him to fold should i just jam?
i decided to check on the turnjust to take a free card because i was sure he would have still made one call with Qx and their is a chance he is chasing an A, the bet he then makes on the river i'm sure would see him fold raggy A that was just top pair, knowing that he will fold his raggy aces should i therefore have just…

AK line check
A generic thing really - not the toughest spot I ever find myself in with AK but still one I'm not sure I'm playing optimally. Not played NL20 but villain is multi-tabling and from the brief time I've been at the table has seemed to be playing pretty tight. I'm only here to try and play pots with the other player that sees…

Sensible attempt for value, or slightly too aggressive tilt monkey?
BvB and the BB only seems to play one table and has is a very much a calling station. Only bet 1/2 pot on flop as if he has complete junk he'll fold to any bet (and I'm happy to TID now, given I don't have a made hand). The call on flop doesn't necessarily narrow his range down much - would expect all draws to stay in…

Struggling to understand rake impact on split pots
OK - I probably should just call this, as I'm 95% that villain has the Ace and that we're splitting the pot from turn onwards. He's never bluffing and frequently over shoves decent made hands. The fact villain only calls the flop means I can include PP, any King and flush draws in his range, as well as aces (which I…

Could I have taken a different line to getting value from this hand?
Oppo seems fairly decent, tight player who was on multiple NL10 tables during this hand. IIRC I'd gone through little patches of raising 4-5 consecutive hands so he may well think I'm not raising strong preflop and that may mean that his 3b is a little lighter than I would ordinarily credit him. Saying that, the half pot…

AQ TPTK dry board call or fold?
although this player is on a lot of tables and will be mostly playing ABC, his play against me is more varied as we play each other alot, so if the table has been folded round to spots where we could be heads up his 3bet does include hands such as 1010 JJ and AQs. As i'm still holding small to middle pocket pairs OTF his…

Generic AK line-check
Is this just a leak to be calling as opposed to fold / 4-bet, particularly when OOP? 3-bettor (better?) is a fairly sound reg multi-tabler and I figure that this could just as easily be a squeeze with cards that flop well as it could be a premium hand that has me dominated. The first player that called my bet seemed to be…

Flat or raise the river?
Here is a hand from a few days ago. Only played with the guy this session so not specific reads. We flop nice and the board pairs on the river and the villain leads. What is our play? Flat as we are scared of the boat? Raise because we think he has a lower flush or worse? Should I be betting bigger on flop and…

Flopped set vs confused river
I'd hoped to keep this small mainly because UTG+1 was a station and I was happy that if they'd come along for the ride I'd be likely to get paid for the times I hit my set / would have to shut down when I miss. UTG was the only one the played back though. I don't know how many tables they were playing, but were on 3 (of 6)…

Bet-sizing line check
AFter the event I was getting lots of unsolicited advice about this hand from the villain and his mate who was also at the table - which I'll credit as a valiant attempt to try and tilt - but did make me query my sizing, which I think to be fair is something that needs refining. Have tried to outline my thinking below, but…

Stationing myself - is there better ways to approach playing more active players?
CO - was splashing around a bit and was 90% going to be OOP playing them but happy that QJs was ahead of their range - rarely 3b but liable to call to see most flops.

NL20 flopped set in a multi-way pot
A potentially butchered hand from last night. Should I raise flop? Should the turn be seen as a scarecard that I should consider checking? Is it a snap-call on turn or, multi-way, should I be taking a more cautious line? UTG raise was a fairly tight but aggressive player, think their open was likely to be mid-premium…

Should I be mucking it in this situation?
This post is more about the situation rather than how the hand played out. Villian is a decent reg who I have played a few times and as I had position I had been 3 betting them a lot and finally picked up a hand. I find myself in this kind of situation with big pairs a lot on connected boards and I am always thinking about…

PLO8 Cash Game Questions Q & A
In a 2p-4p PLO8 cash game last night, this question was asked. Should I have called pre-flop with K-K-7-7? Views, please. My view? No. This is neither fish nor fowl. Bin it. Even if we hit our set, so what? Sets are not forced to win in Omaha, unlike HE, where we rarely pass a set. We want straight, flushes, boats. We have…
