the min -> 2x 3bet
Traditionally seen as a fishy move. Im starting to wonder if it could actually be a useful tool that is rarely used properly... So it seems that preflop play has started to become a bit more passive. People dont 3bet hands like TT/JJ, AJ, AQ etc that much any more - the theory being that it folds out weaker hands that you…

AK and AQ
I feel like pople are playing slightly differently than they used to a couple of years ago... Its just a gut feeling, I have nothing other than that at the moment... People dont seem to be 3betting and calling all in's with AQ anywhere near as much. Instead of thinking "AQ is ahead of their range, I'll 3bet" people now…

Been watching alot of deepstacks and wondering what is the best approach to playing these ?

Table image / Table breaks
Just wondering about the following: You are playing an MTT and you play tight for the first few levels to create a table image. The intention is to exploit this image later in the game. When you are just about to move up the gears the table breaks and you are sat with 5 different players. Its just about mid stage of the…

Heads-up FTW - shoving ranges etc
If you were heads-up in an MTT on Sky Poker... ... how dominant would you need to be (in terms of your lead and the relative big blinds your opponent has) to ship every hand? For example - you have an 5:1 chip advantage and your opponent has just under 10 big blinds.. ... is that a shove every time for you? If not, what…

Pocket Jacks on the button in a BH facing 4 bet shove
Utg plus 1 min raises to 120, blinds are 30 and 60. I have 2.5k, villain has 5k. Starting stack is 2k. Jacks OTB. What do you do, call or 3 bet? I 3 bet, to 240, min raise. Vilian snap shoves, all our chips to call. What do you do? In a normal MTT it's proba fold, this however is a BH. Not sure what the right decision is.…

should i be taking the risk and shipping it?
from what i've see from this villian so far he is certainly a loose one. i've seen him bet with total air on very dangerous boards he's called raises the size of 6BB with hands as bad as Q3o then jammed on Q high flops with just the pair. the reason i only chose to limp in with this middle pair was i had to hit my set…
