Nova the AK is v bad. You need to let go of hands. You know it's bad though so no point going into why, I think you get it. Just try and fold =( Got a video??

I've had an ok day so far. 500 hands and up $36. Managed to run above EV for the first time in 5 sessions! Sucked out AK vs KK all in pre. Did however lose KK to AA myself. Hate coolers >_> Roll is £586 + ~$86 to come in RB I believe.

Also checked my RB earnings so far and LOL @ referall earnings of $102. I love this guy I referred raking over 5 grand a month. :lol:

I just hope he is winning!!

Finally I don't really post hands much because I don't look for advice for some reason but I think maybe sometimes we can create discussion?

The guy seems ok. Playing 20% of hands over sample of 150.

If it was me I'd be thinking... "He must have KQ. No doubt about it."

On a serious note: I'd still be betting... maybe not a huge amount so that perhaps he feels he might be able to raise me off the hand? As much as I love checking these types of hand at the river all too often they're checked right back at me which is obviously disappointing. Maybe he has flopped a flush or has a busted nut flush draw. He could have limped sixes, another mid pocket pair or KQ UTG. I'd still be putting some kind of bet in though.

You think he would limp KQ UTG? 66 seems reasonable.

I'm pretty sure we've all seen it done, how positionally aware did he seem? It might be the kind of hand he prefers to raise with in the CO/BTN and limps UTG. Also could have limped something like A5hh. He seems to like his hand from the bets at the previous streets.

Not really played with him enough to get deep reads. KQ jumps into my head when I play but I discount it due to limping pre. It's a pretty terrible play to make. I'll let other people post before I give more info.

I think 66 is a good guess. He may seem solid, but he may just have a decent pair and thinks it's good. He could have limped something like QT, although again it's not a great play. The flush is another thing he really could have realistically been playing. I'd be unlucky to want to reraise him, but I think a bet-call in this spot isn't a bad idea.

I know you say AK is bad, but you just said you had it all in pre against KK yourself! When are you going to give me that iPoker thing so I can give you referral monies?

What part of "I will tell you when it is set up and ready to go please sign up to neteller to deposit" do you not understand? I will give you the info when I get it.

I thought you got it in post flop with AK. I didn't call AI with AK either, I shoved. There's quite a big difference.

Ok, fair enough...

Snippy.

That is really confusing. Considering you class him as an okay player I doubt he's doing anything spewtastic, which makes that min-raise on the flop very strange. If he's drawing then he's not going to be potting the turn unless he has something like precisely AKhh.

Anything you can add, possibly your and his image at this point, whether you saw how he got his stack, is this the first time he's open limped that sort of thing.

Just a wild guess but I think you've beat him. I get the feeling he flopped a flush, or perhaps it's just something like AQ.

So he doesn't limp KQ but he will limp AK or AQ? Come on!

Actually you're right he wouldn't have limped with AQ.
My main guess is a flush, perhaps he limped with suited connectors? I don't think he has 66.

Well, since Rex has't bothered answering my questions,

I'm going to say that the villain had KK. Limp UTG for someone who Rex describes as okay generally means strength and there's very few hands that can bet the flop and continue on the turn against someone as tight as Rex.

I really don't have much info on him, no reads and haven't been playing long. All I have is 150 hands saying he plays a good amount and raises a good amount pre also.

My only concern was 66 in the hand. I never felt he had KQ due to the limp preflop. I then don't think he plays 66 like this. I think he keeps his bets bigger because he would be scared of the flush. Since his bets were small then I believe he has a flush. I think suited connectors or A2-A5s.

I guess he limped because he knows he should play these hands but he wasn't confident of doing so.

Also down for the day again. 8-)

Played shite earlier and roll is like £540.

Sorry for late reply, was playing PVZ >_>

wp. What a moron though.

Rex, is the iPoker thing for rooms like Titan Poker? Would I be able to get rakeback sorted after I've opened an account? I'm planning on playing a couple of special tournaments soon on there and was wondering whether that rake thing could be sorted out after I've set the account up.

I just started playing my first game of poker in a couple of weeks and after 10mins I'm up $10

I know I played this hand very strangely but my opponent had played every hand so far and he was raising pre-flop 50% of the time. I figured he hit nothing on the flop and the turn and river didn't help him so when he shoved all-in on the river it was a pretty obvious bluff IMO.

Was I right to call the raise pre-flop? Obvously if the 2 didn't show up then I would have not put any more money in but I'm just wondering if in the long term I should have folded there?

Always call there. You have huge implied odds. In other news, I've had to withdraw my roll, except for $20. Playing some low limit Sit and Gos for now. Wish me luck!

First things first, turn auto-reload on now! By not having a full stack at the start of the second hand you've cost yourself $1.85. Obv it doesn't seem like a lot but over time it all adds up.

First hand: Up against a huge retard there's a good chance your second pair is good here. However, against a wide range on a board that has a few draws I'd elect to check raise the flop here. Calling, while letting your opponent bluff his stack away, also lets him back into the winning hand. I don't approve of felting second pair there on such a horrible board given that you could be up against a fair few hands that beat you, but it's your read I guess.

Second Hand: It's fine.
