Players don't usually realise there's a raise buttton in these comps so to…

The dangers of Micro stakes
I'm a general break even player. - I tend to play micro stakes as I just enjoy playing and don't really like the feeling when my Bankroll gets chipped away massively ( playing at higher stakes). lately I've been getting more & more infuriated with Micreo stakes players, - here is two hands from tonight. In both cases I got…

I seem to do fairly well getting past the bubble with a fairly decent stack size. I have Played 4 MTTs in 2 weeks, got past bubble in 3, crashed out just before in 1, due to outrageously bad play…

Showing Hands?
I just wanted a general perspective on showing hands, particularly online. Last night, I was heads up at the end of a £150 guaranteed, and my opponent showed me the first couple of hands, which he had hit well. He then proceeded to show me almost every hand he won whether it be monsters, bottom pairs or stone cold bluffs.…

Hi guys. 8NL. Been playing this table for quite a while. Not had much contact with villain to be fair when the following hand takes place. There was quite a discussion after this in the chat box and i thought i would throw it open to you guys. The chat went along the lines of it was obviously a big pocket pair by the pre…

Busted out of TSP! Could I have done better?

Bottom set vs active player that wont back down. Value city or check call river (sat very deep)
A few of the local players got together for a super deepstack WTA S+G double chance over the weekend 15k in chips, great slow structure. £150 buy in, with one opportunity to rebuy for 1/2 stack for £75. Ended up getting 14 runners, so nice payday for someone. (Not me though :( ) 1st level (25/50), guy who plays pretty wide…

Was this the correct price to call?
I thought about it and almost called, but my instict told me I wasn,t getting the right price (couldn,t work it out in time) the guy had been pretty tight, otherwise I,d have raised the flop and tbh I had him on a set, hence why I didn,t re-raise the flop, but I didn,t take implied odds into account I realise it was a…

Slow play or get it in??
both approaches work really, doesn't look much like he's going away here- but a big reraise really does totally give away the strength of your hand, you could try and disguise it by flatting- he may be able to make a hero fold with queens. You have position too, which further disguises your hand- you could be flatting with…

Pointers on trips with high kicker vs full house
Hi I hated the call at the end, but was hoping (perhaps praying is a better word) for an ace with a lower kicker. I think i played it pretty terribly to be honest (maybe should have folded to turn re-raise), but any comments on any of the streets would be really helpful. Hand History #372290717 (14:31…

nl100 HU deep 4bet pot, villains value range???
12 tabling so havent noticed anything out of order by villain, he did 5bet me once BvB to 50x out of 250bb stacks so i think he is fairly competant. 6max table broke and we carried on to try and restart game, nothing worthy noting so far has happened. i think preflop & flop are pretty standard turn onwards is where things…

MTT- Scoop hand, just in the money, flop and turn spots.

Tourney spot: Over Aggro?
Villain seems capable, and has been 3betting me (prob bullying me a bit if Im honest) and other players a bit, often with smallish sizing like this. My image wouldnt be tight, but not over aggro either as I was seated with big stacks to my left for last 40 mins (villain on my table all this time) This is final table,…

rebuys and addons
dont normally play tourneys, but since im building my roll i might as well enter the cheapys here and there and the decent freerolls when i get a chance. Anyway, when is it wise to use an addon or a rebuy? I guess that there is no point in doing a rebuy late when the blinds are high, or if your table are too good....right?…
