Anyone else planning to go to the opening of the new poker room at Mohegan Sun? For years Foxwoods has screwed its poker players with rediculous "time" format of collecting from its no-limit players. Hopefully now that mohegan is opening up a poker room, creating some competition for foxwoods, they will stop acting like they are doing US the favor by having a poker room. Anyway, it opens on the 29th of August and there will be a few of us staying over that night. Anyone else planning on

Given everything youve said, I still think pushing is the right move. You have too few chips to fold and given the extra chips in the pot from the call, youre getting the right odds to take an A-2 vs. QJ race.

I hate the flat call with QQ. People seem to be scared of QQ too much. I reraise preflop to something like 600. That shows you are committed to the hand and probably wins you the pot right there, unless he has AA, KK or MAYBE he calls with AK (not a good play IMO, but a lot of lower limit players do this). Its hard to say what to do on the rest of the streets, but on that flop, if he bets, I move in...if he is going to call you with AK or AJ, good...let him get all your chips in when he is behind

Well if there is a poll, then it MUST be true...cause all polls are SUPER accurate...especially the CBS ones! *sigh*

IMO, the limp from the button 3-handed is a TERRIBLE play, unless he has AA or something and is trying to induce you to push or the 3rd player to isolate. With no read of the players at the table, I would probably push here. Even if he limper has something like 55 or A-9, A-10, I think you are short enough on chips that you have to race and pray! Hell, even if he has AA, youre not that far behind. The worst case would be if he had QQ or JJ and BOY would limping be terrible with either of those hands

90% of this decision is based on your position at the table. If you are asking such an elementary question (which isnt to say that its a bad question), you should take a look in the strategy archive and you can probably find some random threads using the search feature that give you detailed hand listings or something, but the basic concept is that the later position, the looser you can be. For example, with less than 10 big blinds, I might push with 22 or 33 from the button or the cutoff, but I

This is a great question! A lot is going to depend on your style of play. For me, I like to be more aggressive around this time. I will raise with any ace, any pair, or any 2 face cards, particularly when the shorty is in the blinds. If he has 10BB and 1 in the pot already, put in antes and your raise and he is forced to push all-in with almost any 2 because of the odds, so if you know he is likley to push in with any 2, then you can really open up your range.

I would fold here, mostly because of the money bubble. You still have several very large stacks behind you. If someone in 3rd position raised and I was on the button, my raising range would be HUGE around the money bubble. So what do you do if you get raised? If you were on the button and someone had raised in front of you, I might REraise, but I am folding out of position with 3 big stacks left behind you. Most good players would raise you with a fairly wide range in position here, especially if

LOL @ him folding JJ...no f'ing way, unless you were playing like a ROCK. These situations are mostly read dependent. Normally I would raise. Maybe to something like 25k though. Also, if your opponants are good, you might just flat call, hoping one of them will try a squeese play. If you have opponents that are really aggressive on the button (as many good players are), you flat call, they raise on the button, no matter what the initial raiser does, you can move in and then you either win a nice

[quote user="rexmundi1337"] br, i usually agree with most things you say regarding the poker community. and you do bring up some valid points, such as obama lacking any real experience to be president. but i think americans no longer want to keep up the status quo.. they want something different. and therefore having experience maintaining our current societal and political structure doesn't really matter, because people want all that to change. obama represents the direction most of
