last night i was playing and found my self with position
vs a loose squeezer/3bettor with a high fold to 4bet.
I waited for a good opportunity and also waited for a better than
average hand. My opponent squeezed an opp, an opp who was fairly loose
and would be able to find a fold and i looked down at pocket 5's and 4bet.
My opponents folded but I wondered if this was a good ...

356 hands on villain- a vpip21 pfr 12 pfr from btn 33% 3bet 5.6% AF 2/1/3 I played this hand horrible. i believe 4 betting a guy with 5.6% 3bt range would have been ok, but according to pokerstove id have had about 48% equity which isnt ideal but might have been better than playing the hand the way i did.

Hi,

Still pretty new to on-line poker, watched a few of your tutorial video's and seeing improvements :).

I have a pretty noobie question, but I seem to get this problem a lot.

I understand that limping in general is a bad idea and if I intend to play a hand the a raise is more profitable. But... If I'm out of position in big blind and ...

dear poker gurus,

Bit lost in these situations, wondering what people think here. Villian is pretty tight 17/15ish, raising around 10% of flops.

I think its clear that this is KT (or is it? doubt villian is thinking il lay down AQ to a bluff) my question is really geared towards previous streets. Should we ever be leading the turn or reraising the flop?

The size of his 3 bet on flop makes me think ...

Since "Black Friday" does Bodog still seem to have plenty of weak players at the US "peak times" or has there been an influx of better players that have come from full tilt or pokerstars?

I am trying to practice good bankroll management. Because I only had $50 to deposit I started at .02/.04 figuring I would slowly build that $50 to $150 to move up to .05/.10. I am in no hurry because I figure I can learn alot in the process. Everything was going fine, I had built it to $75 until the las two days. In the last two days I have run into 3 guys who ...
