[Poker Newspaper] Playing Position in Poker: It follows that when you are in early position (first to act pre-flop or among the first few) it can be very difficult to take the lead in a hand because there are so many players left to act after you. Every player who acts after you is a possible re-raise, so when you are playing from early position you want to be really careful with marginal hands like A-8, A-9, K-J because you are one re-raise away from a sticky situation.
[btimm's Poker Blog] I Don’t Even Know ”¦: I feel the fact that his range is huge, that he could be double barreling a ton of hands here. I elect to call, because I think a raise folds out worse hands and gets called or raised by .
[betting casino gaming | casino download free fun money | roulette casino game | fre casino games] Playing Position in Poker: Send him the illusion of weakness and hope he gets uppity. Once the river hits, if he checks, bet something that you think he can call, a so-called “value bet”.
[Everything Has A Limit] Hands:: But making the move on the turn is far more convincing than a check-raise on the flop. And it has the added advantages of (a) making more money to be won and (b) making it harder for opponent to call.
[Flop Seat Table Game Hand] Agua Caliente Casino Trip Report - aka Day 2: I rake a nice pot and get up over $300 again. I get up to take a leak and notice that there’s an empty seat at LO8 and think “sweet, I might be able to just move over without having to buy in for more”.
[PSA: Politics, Sports, Anything] Check Out My Nuts: Turn: Not necessarily a bad turn, it’sa scare card for him or a counterfeit card. I check behind for pot control, thinking I will call 33% of pot bet or less on river.
[Hand Players Turn Flop Poker] Hand Of The Day - Playing The Nut Flush Draw (Part 3): Third, since two of the three players that called the raise cold are loose, I would expect that the possibility of one having caught part of the flop (but not on a draw) and staying in the hand is high. The pot is getting big and nothing attracts a loose player than a big pot.

[The Books and Movies ' s Blog] The Kite Runner: Farid was first on- the list of preparations Rahim Khan and I made, a list that included exchanging dollars for Kaldar and Afghani bills, my garment and pakol””ironically, I’d never worn either when I’d actually lived in Afghanistan””the Polaroid of Hassan and Sohrab, and, finally, perhaps the most important item: an artificial beard, black and chest length, Shari’a friendly””or at least the Taliban version of Shari’a. Rahim Khan knew of a fellow in Peshawar who specialized in weaving them, sometimes for Western journalists who covered the war.
[Djactionkenneth's Weblog] BOOKLET II: Of particular interest to many evangelicals is whether true believers of Jesus Christ will be removed, the PRE TRIBULATION RAPTURE, before that seven year period of God’s judgment upon the earth known as the “Great Tribulation,” a period when an entrepreneurial, evil world tyrant, a wolf in sheep’s clothes, the Antichrist, will require all to have a “mark” on people’s right hand or their forehead in order to buy or sell (Revelation 13:16) and require all to worship his statue, a time when nation will rise against nation culminating in the great battle of Armageddon between the Kings of the East and the Antichrist and his armies, a time of great natural cataclysms when “the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken, and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn (as their evil ways will be come to an abrupt end ), and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory (Matthew 24:29-30).
[Chuck's Poker Blog] Back in the saddle, but for how long: A couple more folded but I still got callers when I beet out when a jack hit on the turn, and all but one folded when a blank hit on the river. The pot was in the $250 range, very nice for a $6/$12 game.
[Shermhoy's Weblog] Two nights in a row: I messed up posting the hand history so will just have to write out the hand. I was dealt 10 8 and was in the bb pre and he just called $3 and i checked. The flop came out 7 9 j. I checked and he bet 12. I immeadiatly decided to make it 36 as I knew that he could have a big hand here…he just calls. The turn is a Q and i bet out 70 almost the size of the pot figuring he might have two pair. He calls. The river was an Ace and i bet out 150 he thinks for a while and calls with KK. He played this hand very poorly as by not raising KK pre he has no range of hands i could be on and just a pair isn’t any good against two random cards where I was betting pot three streets in a row.
[Gambling Blog] Q&A #99: Taking A Free Card On The Turn, Or Giving It?: Given the preflop 4-bet and the flop action, I think chances are the SB has a pocket pair, so he’s probably staying with you to the river. If only he calls, and if he has a pocket pair, then you are taking somewhat the worst of it on the turn if you bet, because he probably won’t fold to any river card.
[Chuck's Poker Blog] I love drunks at the table, but”¦: I hesitated, but not quite long enough for me to listen to that little voice, and my bet was met with a check-raise. I was pretty sure, even though I’d not been at the table that long, that he had made the straight, but the pot odds left me with calling, considering that he might have also been slowplaying or have made two pair.
[btimm's Poker Blog] Day 91 - $50NL Session 2: I playeed a little bit more tonight after the movie, because I just felt so good about my earlier session. I did not get as many oppurtunites in general to 3-bet, plus I had a fair share of pocket pairs, so my PFR is a little lower, but that is okay. Played well again. Had a small +EV situation hold up, as my flopped broadway stood up against a set of queens (villain flatted my raise OOP preflop, noted sir!). I ran at over 21 PTBB/100, but actually thought I ran kinda cold still. I had 6 big pots basically. Nothing really too in depth to describe, but I will put them in here anyways. Since they are very straightforward and no interesting spots popped up in this really short session, I will throw these hands in here for fun. Kinda crazy that I ran at such a high winrate, yet felt like I got the short end of the stick today. Hey, I will take it, it was fun! I was not even getting annoyed by it for some unknown reason, lol. More progress!! btimm-doooooozer!!!
[Chuck's Poker Blog] Rolling, rolling, rolling”¦: As time went on, I observed him to be a table bully, raising and reraising with impunity, and I picked off a nice pot when I had a big hand and he tried to play back with, presumably, nothing or very little. His smallish buy-in (less than $200, I think) was quickly whittled away.
