These are some hands I was second guessing myself. I'm not sure why though, I think its because I was playing Limit Poker for 3 weeks straight at the casino but here we go.


#1 I know I have them dominated but I'm not sure if I should be just pushing here or reraising for value. The problem is anything I reraise puts half my stack in there so therefore I have to push. Is this correct?

#2 On both streets I wasnt sure what to do. Preflop folding calling and raising all felt wrong, and when everthing feels wrong I tend to just call. Post flop I lead out because I wanted to find out if he was beating me. and then I continue to call his all in because there is one overcard and I dont think he is holding a ten. What would you have done in this hand? I feel like it played it odd.

#3 The first guy I think is aggresive so I'm not worried about his raise. The next raiser I know he views this guy as aggressive, but I cant see him doing this with AJ AT AQ or TT, the only thing I put him on is JJ QQ KK AA or AK of which I only beat JJ. I Feel like I have to fold because its pretty much a coinflip for my tournament life or worse. Thoughts?

#4 Same thing as the first hand, Am I playing this right? I Think Im way ahead.

#5 3rd hand of a handed game. Villian is above average, seems decent. Could be raising for the blinds. I think its a good fold but I also think its borderline.

#6 Getting my max value out of my AK. I put this guy as a raiser when people limp on his BB. You guys probably are going to say I should of been first to raise here? I think AK might be to strong to raise here, especially since that I think he is capable of raising a wide range. Thoughts?

1) I think this is fairly standard. NH.

2) I don't like the call preflop. Villain is not giving you proper odds for a set. This is a hand where you either push or fold. The BB behind you has you covered. I'm personally folding here, because if I push, I'm likely coinflipping or dominated. You've got 20xBB; you are under no pressure to push a middle PP. As played, I'm check-folding the flop. If you are willing to get it all-in on the flop, why wouldn't you be willing to get it AIPF (not that I would)?

3) With these blinds, I wouldn't count on any reads being foolproof. I am pushing QQ in an $11 SNG. I would not limit UTG + 1's limit here. If UTG is the typical donk who doubled up with crap, UTG + 1 is not respecting UTG's raise, and will re-raise wider than you're thinking. You might have AJ and AQ beat badly here as well.

4) See #1; standard, nh.

5) I totally concur with your analysis: Borderline, but I likely fold. I can't imagine you're beating much of his range, and you have 18xBB.

6) Echo. Almost everyone would like to see a raise PF here, and to do otherwise should be totally read-dependent. In this case, your read was spot-on.

1. Definitely push

2. Resteal. You can resteal down to ~ 77+, ATs+, AJ+ here. As played don’t lead the flop to see where you are at.

3. I still stick QQ in unless you really know he’s solid.

4. nh

5. nh

6. I usually raise but if you feel like he’s super agro it looks good.
