EV of folding
Obviously folding always has an EV of 0- but something I remember coming up some time ago, and being pulled on, is how literal this is? If calling is significantly -EV, and raising even more so, would you not say that in this instance folding is +EV? Is the +EV move in any spot not the best move to take at that time- even…

Is this ok?
Right, on a previous hand i had pocket Aces and raised from the button after it had folded to me 3xBB and the two blinds folded. Player 'x' had been playing quite often and was involved in too many hands (only in my opinion). This is the very next time i had the button and the action folds to me again, i want some action…

Was I stupid to fold this?
The more I look at this hand the more I think I should have called. But maybe that's because ater this hand my tournament went downhill fast. I'm thinking my mistake was the call on the turn... or was it the fold on the river? I'm not sure.elldixon18 Small blind 150.00 150.00 10916.25 ExLeper78 Big blind 300.00 450.00…

Was I a "River Donk"

Is this a queen?
First point is I know opening raise is too small. After that standard c bet on flop then I hit my card. X hadn't been making these sort of plays, so put him on the queen. Is this lay down to weak? In hindsight i'm not sure he would call flop and turn bet with just a queen. Any thoughts/advice?…

Correct Fold?
In some ways guess this is an easy fold. Only reason ask question is have notes to say this player calls off and bets very light / with air sometimes, but with flush and straight potential thought better of the hero call. What do you guys think? Could I have played it…

Was this the right move Heads up
Ive played a bit with this guy recently and he usually has a decent hand to be raising but i justfel he couldnt be this strong off this flop. I put him on 77 or at best 2 pair. I fell i dont want to just call a re raise because evry turn card which isnt a spade im not going to like. So is the shove the right play heads up.…

Did i play this top pair bad
Hi I played this hand. I put the guy on a flush draw or a queen with a weak kicker as he seemed very weak on the flop (as it was he was weak, but not for the reasons i thought - he actually had a high pocket pair). I pushed on the turn as i thought i had to get him off the draw and/or he might call with a weaker queen. But…

Open 5x in ep as these tables used to be really loose/fishy when I used to play them. Sizing on the turn is probably too small.......... But wtf does his river bet mean??? Has he had me beat all the way or has he just spiked 2 pair? What are your thoughts otr? Never seen or played the guy…

Too aggressive?
Right, player 'x' is very loose and very aggressive and calls everything (same one as my other thread if anyone read it).

Ok, hit my set on the flop but with…

Difficult decision against loose player?
Cash, 2p/4p. Right, player 'x' has been extremely loose and has stacked twice in about 5 minutes already. His betting is unbelievable with some of his hands but he has also hit a few good hands and his stack is up and down to say the least. I am quite the nit so basically is this an easy call or do you fold and wait for a…
