Range Merging
This topic was briefly discussed on the show thread last night. I promised I'd give some sort of explanation of it, so here is my best attempt: When we talk about merging our range we're usually talking about a bet on the river. We're making a (usually big) bet that is designed to look as though we must have either a…

Raise flop? Best line?
You've got to be a little concerned, because you have the lowest possible flush. You've called an all-in (over a fifth of your stack) and there is still someone to act. I guess you put the shover on a high club? I think I would actually be tempted to shove over the top, to possibly get rid of the third guy in the pot, in…

I conti bet 1/2 pot and I get insta called for the turn to be a blank and i check to there all in! But in reflection, the true question would be 'when should i be continuation…

early stages of MTT with difficult hands
when I've missed the flop with my hands such as KQ KJs and QJs should I just cbet fold or maybe even check fold rather than throw away chips.

Opponent all-in pre-flop, what do you do..
One place where my game is lacking is when the opponent (or villain as people say, although for the record I don't like that term, sounds far too vicious for my liking!) goes all-in. Far too often I think to myself: "he may be bluffing, I'll just call and see what happens" - I guess that is the gambler in me. I…

Did I make mistakes here?
Okay, the outcome of this hand surprised me so just want to know what you guys think of my play really. I raised pre-flop to try get it heads up for the flop (atruered seemed to be a very tight player so I figured he would fold to any bet, unless he actually had something). I know my raise size maybe could have been bigger…

100% knew this was a value bet, but why didn't i do it?
One thing that frustrates me about my play sometimes is that i know i have the best hand when i'm last to act on the river and i just chicken out of making a value bet, even though i win the hand afterwards and it shows that the opponent wouldn't have called me anyway i still feel disappointed that i didn't do the value…

Making up from the small blind?
What pot odds do we need to make up the small blind with any hand? Whats the cut off point? I have read somewhere that Q,4 suited+ is the cut off hand to call is someone is shoving every hand blind. Just interested in everyones views on what is acceptable making up the SB. Discuss.....

have i did the correct play or was i to dangerous
I might have top pair but again I am in what is a horrible position thanks to another villain who thinks a limp is better than a raise "what does it take to do a raise". so now that i have top pair on a 3 spade flop i'm left struggling with knowing what is best i decide to bet for info on the flop then i go all in and in a…

I dont think I can but should I?
This was the final table and was down to 3 handed. Villian had limped in and I had noticed they had bet flop, check turn fold to a river bet in the past having limped in. When I pick up the draw I think i am going to play the same way and if I hit then I would go with it. On the river do we ever consider letting this go? I…

was it worth a raise preflop
Very foldable hand UTG at that situation in a SAT. As played probably worth a bet on that flop. Villain would have probably reraised a big A so only really worried about a small ace and not worried about draws. Min-raise UTG and lead out will look strong and much less likely that villain will make a move in that spot in a…

should i just take the free card
having got a short stack jam preflop it's hard to know just what the other villain who the calls, is likely to hold so my main reason for the call is to hit a set but having got a straight draw I am now left questioning weather I could force the other caller to fold or if the check is still betterchrisx2525 Small blind…

Bounty Hunters
Just wondering what peoples thoughts were on Bount Hunters, do you play these different to a standard freezeout tournie? It if a short stack is all in, people will just call with junk to try and claim a bounty! What do you think is the optimal strategy for these games, I would imagine it's probably slightly different than…
