AK looked dominated!
I played in a live cash game £1nl 9 handed I had been at the table for about 30 mins and the play was ABC with a raise taking the pot pre, I had raised the odd time a little light in late position and with a hand any position but always took the pot uncontested.

Line check with trips, over 300bbs deep
The villain sees too many flops imo, and is pretty aggressive so can raise with a wide range. The 1 hand of note I played with him he raised preflop with a small pair, and then bet the flop and turn into 3 other players on something like an AKQx board. Player X is a total fish and can have absolutely anything here, from a…

how not to play AA pockets EVEN IN POSITION
having built up a reasonable bank roll I decided to move up to the 25/50p tables. I was on the button and drew AA and sat in anticipation that someone before me would raise and start a pot. To my dismay they all folded, then came my turn..so I flat called the blinds to try and build a pot for my AA. The biggest mistake I…

Good Hands Tourney stratergy?

Thoughts on NL4
so i played some nl4-nl10 recently.

Range for 3-bet calling?
I was wondering what everyone would believe is a decent range for calling a standard sized 3 bet in position in cash games? Obviously with aces and kings it's very situation dependent whether you call or 4 bet but i wondered what would be a reasonable selection of hands to call or 4 bet with. Cheers guys.
