 - Actual poker hand, A. Jalib - I've stated a general rule of thumb before: value bet the river when it double pairs. The reason is that any ace is likely to pay you off,
suspecting that you may have a counterfeited underpair. However, in
this particular hand I would be concerned by two things...
- Avoiding getting freerolled on the river, A. Jalib - A fairly common situation in a heads up river situation in Hold'em (and other poker games) is to feel like it's a toss up whether you beat your opponent or not. From the action, you're sure that if...
- Calling on the river, T. Weideman - You need to decide what hands this player can have that he can play this
way. Let's ignore the end for the moment and start from the flop. What
hands can this player have played preflop...
- Fold river ?, Ramsey - This flop is not a disaster but it is *far* from good for you. It is quite possible for you to need runner-runner to win this pot (eg against
KQ, JT and 8x). In this situation I would want to see...
- Please give opinions on this hold em hand, A. Jalib - The crazy guy open-limped, and afterwards the solid player limped late with JJ? That's really bad unless perhaps he saw your raise coming. I never would have put him on JJ...
- Thin value raise on the river, A. Jalib - $80-$160 hold'em at Bellagio, I open-raise one off the button with AQ, button 3-bets me, everyone else folds. I call. I'm actually a whole lot more concerned here than I would be normally, because...
- Turn and river decisions, T. Perry - You have to know your opponent. Players with a pair of jacks rarely do this, although I often will if I hold ace-jack, and I've seen more and more people starting to press ace kickers...
- Underpair on the river, A. Jalib - If the pot is $45, you would need to be 88% sure you're losing to fold, and I'm pretty sure the pot is bigger here, especially after the bet. If they have random cards, there's about a 71% chance going into the...
- When to fold on the river in no fold-em, D. Horvitz - Assumption is that they are positive what you are playing before and on the flop -- probably the best hand. They always have you pegged for top pair and kicker, overpair, 1 card draw to the nuts...
