IQ Test

Your image is also loose aggressive. You and the BB have been in a few big re-raised pots so far–both of you have been bluffing and semi bluffing relentlessly. Flop is:

21
22
23

7. 10 man table. 5/10 NL with $1000 stacks. 3 limpers and your check your option in the BB with:
ACQD

The Flop:

ADJH3C

1st limper bets out $20 and the 2nd limper raises to $50. The 3rd limper folds and the action is on you.

Whats your move?
Call, its likely the 2nd limper has a weak ace and you can extract another bet on the turn from him since your out of position
Call, if a blank comes on the turn lead out to protect you big hand
Put in a 3-bet since your out of position and need to protect your hand
Make a substantial raise to $250 to protect from bad players hitting 2-pair or better
8. 5/10 NL cash game. $1,000 stacks. 6 handed. You are in middle position with:
AHKH
A loose aggressive player UTG raises to $40. You re-raise to $130 and he calls.

You are in the BB and have:

7S7D

What should you do?
Fold
Call and only play if you flop the set
Call and lead out on a low flop
Raise to $36 and only play if you flop the set
Raise to $36 and try to push your opponents out on the flop
10. 6 man table. 5/10 NL with 1k stacks. You’re dealt QT off in cut-off and you raise to $30. The button calls and so does the big blind.

Flop:

KCQD10D

BB check. You make a continuation of bet $50 - The button raises to $150 and the bb calls. You think for a moment and decide to call.

Turn:
8C

The big blind leads out for $250. Whats your move?
Call, you maybe be up against a straight but have the implied odds to call
Call, you’re confident that you’re ahead of the big blind but don’t have a read on the button
Raise, isolate the bb since he missed the flush draw on the turn
Raise, its likely you’re ahead and should protect your hand by raising
Fold, its unlikely your hand is best at this point
Fold, you might have the best hand but there are many hands that dominate you

tjcsonofallnations asked:


I know a guy (and I have verified this) who makes money playing texas holdem online…we play together and unless he’s bluffing all the time ;) im just as good as he is…so….how does it work? Do they have small tables? What are the buy ins? Do they have penny tables? Anyone have any horror stories, or anything good to report about it? I have a good money management system, and a fold em/hold em strategy, im not worried about that….

Jay C asked:


I made it to the final 20 players in a tourney to win a seat into the WSOP. This guy had been stealing blinds left and right, he reraised preflop… (heres where i made my mistake) instead of just calling or reraising what i thought was a bluff i moved all in… and he called me.

I had A 8 and he called with 6 6…. the flop came up A 2 3 rainbow and boy was i relieved. I WOULD have been 2nd in chip and a shoe in to win a seat BUT he hit runner runner. The turn was a 4 and the river was a 5….

what are the odds that he could have won that hand?….he had 2 outs to hit a 6 and by the rule of four…. 4 times 2 outs tells me he had a 8% chance of beating me by making a set. but that doesn’t take into account the chances that he could have hit runner runnner which gave him 8 more outs but he would have had to hit two of them in a row….

so what were the odds?
side rant: im so pissed i played excellent poker like a pro all night and my one mistake cost me a seat in to the WSOP…..i frickin had a 91% win rate in showdowns and in other wins…… won 9 out 10 showdowns and like 24 out of 26 other wins….i know i should have just called or raised and then pushed hard at the flop but

i mean seriously what kind of a donk calls an all in raise with a 6 6? frickin Phil Gordon even says that playing hands like that for all ur chips is suicide,,,, i was playing aggressive tight and if he was ne kind of player he would have realized this and thought i had a monster hand and he still called…. fortunately right after the idiot immediately donked his chips away and lost but he knocked me out in the process…..
you didnt see him play i did he was a donk he immediately lost all of his and my chips afterwards on donk hands

Anyone ever shoot pool for money on here? What was the largest amount you ever won?

the “nemisis” of yahoo asked:


Shooting pool for money requires lots of skill and unlike playing poker, where you can bluff to win a pot, you can’t bluff anyone when shooting a game of pool, either you can call the pockets for each shot or you don’t, there is no gray area when it comes to shooting pool.

Whats the largest amount of money you ever made shooting a game of say 9 ball?

Poker: I need some tips against an opponent who bets and raise a lot?

NN7911 asked:


How do you bust an opponent who bets and raise a lot? Its very difficult to understand my opponent whether he/she is bluffing or just trying to steal the pot at every hand he/she plays. I win multiple tournaments online but i play bad playing against an opponents who bets and raise a lot playing every hands. I do bet or raise in a certain hands whether my hand is a strong hand or a mediocre or a low hand. I got to admit i make a lot of bad decisions against aggressive players. I also witness that when those type of players get busted they just sometimes start to play bad and risk most of their chips going all in or bluffing with nothing. Poker is hard, but i love the game. I feel like there is more to it to improve my game. I hope anyone can give me tips about this.
