    Default hmmm

    Prima sucks a nut so I'll do my best to create the hand history similar to bison's.



    MP1 (More than me!)
    CO (doesn't matter)
    Hero ($22.90)
    SB (doesn't matter)
    BB (doesn't matter)
    UTG (doesn't matter)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with
    1 fold, MP1 Raises to $0.40, 1 fold Hero raises $0.80 to $1.20 2 folds, MP1 calls $0.80.

    Flop:
    MP1 checks, Hero checks

    Turn:
    MP1 bets $4, Hero calls $4

    River:
    MP1 goes all in for $20.65, Hero ...

    I think I should have put in a reraise on the flop to see where I stand, but what do you do on the river here?

    I would have pushed on the flop
    Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.

    Oh my...

    Flop: Bet out $3-5. That check is pretty bad.

    Turn: Well, since you didn't bet the flop, I think you have to raise up to about $10-12. I don't see what you are behind here to. Possibly 99? The turn play is the biggest question I think.

    River: Given the previous action, I don't think I can call his push.

    well in the end based on my knowledge of prima players which is to call down hands with the stone cold nuts or make very small value bets I assumed he was bluffing, which was a slight misjudgement. he had 10s for quads and had me pretty bad off from the flop on. But if I raise up the flop and he just calls and checks to me on the turn, then what? am I pushing there (and losing my stack in the process)? If he he raises on the flop am I going to fold? What if he has JJ or QQ or is trying to make a play with AK? obviously i played this hand quite crappily, but I think I'm taking a pretty big hit to my stack no matter what.

    I would go broke on the flop here, but not the turn and river. However, I think you are being a little results-oriented. Another option is a bigger raise PF, but you are a huge favorite to TT. Then again, I'm no good at NL, and more importantly, poker.

    he made a min raise into me and i raised it up to 6x BB, in your opinion what should I be raising it to here? 10x?

    Well, you never posted the stakes, so that raise could be anything. I'm not really sure what would be good here. I was just kind of thinking aloud. Maybe some of the NL players can chime in on this.

    The check on the flop isn't that bad because with no straight or flush draws out you are a clear favorite. i would have probably raised on the turn though without and knowledge of how he plays it looks like a bluff over betting the pot and there is no reason to believe that your kings are not best. on the river if u didnt go all in on the turn then you can't really get away from it now

    obvisously know we know that n e way you play it you are going to go broke but i don't think the check on the flop is horrible
    If there wern't luck involed i guess id win everyone
