 - A-K unimproved, L. Jones - First, with 16 big bets in before the flop, you're going to have to have
the best hand to win. Nobody is going to fold any pair, and it's probably
correct to go to the river with...
- AA-KK in the blinds, I. Fekali - Abdul's research shows that it's only profitable to reraise an UTG raiser with AA, KK and AK, so flat calling is best to avoid leaking information (as you will be flat calling with some other hands...
- AK early position, J. juanda - I like to limp with AK (suited or off-suited) because of several reasons:
1. By not raising, I'm not psychologically commited to the pot; because I only put in the minimum investment; so, if I don't flop anything I can...
- AK versus 4-handed limper, A. Jalib - It's 4-handed $80-$160 hold'em at Bellagio. A pro from the Taj is to
my immediate right, and since he reads this newsgroup sometimes let me just say he is a mighty fine...
- Best way to play QQ before the flop?, B. Yoon - Oh yes...the FLOP... Of 19,600 possible flops, 9,880, a little more than half, are all three cards lower than your Qs, and you'll wish your raise had indeed narrowed the field...
- Folding QQ before the flop, J. Morgan - There are a large number of players who will not re-riase unless they are holding a group 1 hand. QQ is behind 12 of these, ahead of 6 of these, tied with one (the Queens in his...
- Hold'em Preflop Strategy , A. Jalib - Due to the effect of community cards, hold'em is a game of "domination," a term coined by Roy Hashimoto. A hand is dominated if it has 3 or fewer outs against another, like AJ against AQ...
- Hold’em hand values table, S. Brecher - Each entry in the following table is the result of 1,000,000 simulated
hands of hold 'em played to the showdown and represents the percentage of pots won (including partial pots in the case of splits) by the indicated...
- KK with an Ace on the flop, A. Jalib - In a multiway pot, say with four others seeing the flop, I get away
from the hand ASAP. If someone bets, I fold. If it's checked to me, I bet, half-hoping that someone will raise me so that...
- Playing JJ, Varlock - Good old JJ, always a fun hand to play. In a tight game I would raise
from an early position and try to drive out as many opponents as I can. If it has already been raised to my right...
- So what do I do now ?, A. Jalib - I would trust my gut instincts on the tell and check it through.
However, be warned that the BB may have had JTs spades or similar,
which could also explain the aborted check-raise...
- When to fold big pocket pairs, M. Hall - think that should be "raise if it will limit the field to at most a
couple of other players". Limiting the field from 8 to 5 callers may
actually hurt pocket queens, and I can't see it helping...
