(SnG play) I always limp these hands and call a min raise. Fold to anything stronger. Its not a great hand from early position. I will almost check anything that flop unless its a 4-card flush. In...
If the blinds are big (e.g. ~>20% of your stack). Push:
- Ax
- Kx (maybe). If opp is tight.
- 2painted
- fold everything else. No limping
If the blinds are normal. Play normal HtoH, maybe be a...
I have mixed feelings on this. You have 1-limper so I would put the opp on a 50/50 (or worse) coin flip if they call my all-in. I assume you shortstacked a bit and have 5-orbits or so, 6-hands per...
You can clear this in SnGs with a 40% ITM rate and a 35%ish ROI. You need to play single $30 SnGs or double $20 SnGs. Single table SnGs tend to last 1-hour
normally if I hit this hand, I would check the flop, bet the turn.. If someone bets small behind me on the flop, I might call and do a lead bet on the turn. Not a hand I want to lose or win alot a...
I would play normal "smart" holdem and try to build the stack. Once the blinds get to 10% of the stack you're comparable to a normal 10-seat SnG game. I dont think I would want to play these SnGs...
I have mixed feelings on this... I just had a great month playing a bit more aggressively (45% itm, 33% 1st if ITM) but the current week isnt doing well... JJ vs AQ and 3rd chiplead? Depends on the...
It would seem to be weird betting 5x preflop and not betting the flop. However, with a nut hand you probably want to check it out, hoping for the opp to have something. I probably would throw some...
Ok I will follow the cards, if I have nothing else better to do... Other than that I am too busy flipping through the 3-boards or watching tv
I would either 3x bet or push. If there going to call a 200 raise, they will probably call a push... You can also try a limp and hope for a raise and you can re-raise push...
I am not sure what email you use, but if its Outlook...
1. Download hand history from Paradise to your email
2. Open email and make sure line breaks are included in email. Sometimes outlook...
I havent found much of a difference between $30 and $20 SnG. I prefer the maniacs at the table (reduces playing field faster than normal). Youll know if the table is tough if there are lots of opps...
Check. Push is the other option if you are holding Ax or pairs (preferably AQ+, TT+). You need to watch for opps that either limp with premium cards or will call with junk (i.e. loose opps). Although...
Gosh, no wonder I am not feeling my usual tired self after a marathon night of poker. Guess my wife set the clock back and didnt tell me...
- You need to get in the mix early and try to increase your stack. If your normal NL play is sound, your stack should be better-off more times than not. Although, identify the laggs at the table and...
I generally try to make my move as early as possible in NL. I would have raised the flop or the turn. It gives me early information to the strength of the opps hand and I can change by betting...
AQ: Looks ok. Check river is fine. If no flush straight/flush threat, I would bet the river. Although people like waiting to the river to re-raise with trips, etc. I would also consider all-in the...
show one, show all
I prefer getting cards for free however a few reasons you might bet:
- Sometimes a medicore lead bet sets the tone and discourages some maniac to over bet the pot requiring you to fold b/c of pot...
Thats the tough part of pot size bets with no hits on the flop. Any good opp that calls a pot size bet on the flop must have something, espcially out-of-position. Generally, it makes no sense to keep...
Some comments:
- Discourage SB from stealing your blind. If I see a SB limp (everyone else folded) at the 50/100+ level, I will do a random all-in. Obviously, you run the risk of getting called and...
I dont disagree with the implied odds, but my general comment is if you bet significantly more than the pot odds, thats a high-risk play. Works well for the loose chasers, not-so-good for the...
I didnt go-over everything but looks ok. Some comments:
- Seems like your tight enough and play the right cards. Maybe there is some improvement on the Ax cards you play
- When blinds go-up you...
I view TPTK hands not super-great and therefore do not normally expect to win big-pots with them, especially out-of-position. Personally, I dont play them overly aggressive from the front and would...
