Re:Correct river bet? 5/10 6max
I think it's a bit on the small size the small bet with the flush draw coming in really looks like you made it, I would probably bet around 375 to put some doubt in her head that you might have been floating the flop

Re:Made the correct read on his hand.. but do I fold?
with the conservative flat call in the SB I think he's just as likely to have AQ or even AJ, I think you should call if he does have AK you still have 12 outs

Re:AA / KK UTG or First to Act.......
First of all you should take notice of the table's tendencies when it comes to preflop raises, if you see 4 people call a 4BB raise from UTG+1 then you know you can raise strong hand 5x BB UTG. If a 3x BB raise from middle position takes down the blinds most of the time then raise 3x and hope for a caller. With this information try to figure out how big a raise will get you 1 or 2 callers. Remember that although you want people to call with KJo, you don't want the guy behind him call with 98 and the next guy to call with 53s, Your hand is easy to play against 1 speculative hand but ...

Re:Limping with AsQs UTG ...
the check/call followed by the small c/raise on the turn is very scary considering he's the preflop raiser. If he has TT he would either bet out the flop or check/raise why would he take the risk of a K or a J on the turn. With a hand like AK he would want to know where he's at and cbet the flop. Other options like AA or QQ (albeit less likely) might play it this way but they have you beat as well. I think when he check/raises the turn you're almost definitely behind. You didn't give much information about the stack sizes but with the "full house draw" and the nut ...

Re:A spot that I find myself in. What is the best way to play it.
I think you need to take into account that he might think that you've missed the flop with the lone Q out there, any Ax you raised with missed it along with KJ KT K9 JT and things like that. So he might try and take it away from you with air. I think the best play is the put in the reraise on a board like this.

Re:Trouble with QQ and JJ
If you're talking about an M of 5 or 6 specifically then I don't think there's anything you can do, raising half your stack is pointless as you might wrongfully fold or they will fold when their AJ or something misses the flop, just shove it with an M of 6 you've probably just been unlucky

Re:Did I play this kk horribly?
A lot depends on his image I think as long as it wasn't a horrible player you can exclude hand like T9 or 98 I think with the flat call of the cutoff raise and the flat call of the BB reraise in the SB, I think 1/10 of his stack is quite a lot to put in out of position. The same goes for a diamond draw I think, except maybe AJd or something but he might have reraised that preflop (again how aggressive was he playing). I'd think that pocket 9s would put in a raise preflop as well but 55 or 44 is definitely an option. I agree with you that the flat call on the flop is scary on such a ...

Re:Confusing hand in 200NL live game
I like the fact that you stuck with your read. When you 3-bet the river you give him the opportunity to shove. Your reasoning was that he'd do this with AT or KT so your call would be correct. If you play it save you just flat call his raise on the river. From the sound of it you're pretty sure that he'll overplay trips on the river so I don't blame you for wanting to get maximum value. Once you do reraise it would be stupid not to call. Why didn't you raise the turn though with two players in there if he does already have two pair or a set he probably won't fold ...

Re(1): Value bet the river here?
dowmo is definitely on a heart draw or JT here, the big question is stacker here, since the river is a blank I'd figure he'd bet AK or KQ here, I think you'll get a crying call from a JJ or AQ unwilling to fold.

Re(1): Pocket 9s-short stacked-Stars WSOP Step 4, bad call?
you're getting the right price to call here, so I agree that you try and double up here if he's got AK AQ or smthing. You need 36.7% here and against the range AA KK QQ JJ TT 99 AK AQ you have 37.5%. So if you include maybe 88 77 or AJ suited it's an even better call. I think these calculations are right correct me if I'm wrong

Re(1): QQ - what would you do here?
I agree with beneh here, your bet sizes put you in a difficult spot here. A (nearly) pot sized bet on the flop will let you know where you are straight away and if you're not calling a raise from either player on the turn then you shouldn't bet 750 with only 3300 left. Given the fact that 3 people called you preflop I'd say T9 or 87 are very possible and of course a set as well. With the 2 callers on the flop you're probably beat, check the turn and hope no one bets.

Re(1): help with hand from PS 109REBUY
nothing you can do just a cooler, I don't agree with the comment that he'd play it slower if he's had a boat already, not like anyone can catch up without beating him. Quite obvious that AK AQ is in there somewhere and can't fold anyhow

Re(1): Anyone prefer a different option other than re-shoving here?
how aggressive had the both of you been playing' You're opening from UTG+1 so unless you've been doing that a lot he knows you have a real hand, plus he has 6 people behind him. If he was a solid TAG player I really don't like my AK here, I doubt he'll do this with AJ so you're down hoping for AQ. I realise it's easy to speak afterwards but still what hand can he have that you've got crushed' You would have been happy to see QQ here which is still a flip. Additionally, your stack is still healthy when you fold here. So unless he was very LAG, even in early pos I say fold
