I re-raise all-in and he immediately calls.He had a 9Q and caught a straight on the turn.river i

in nl he, should i call the BB with Q10?

I usually raise big with these hands before the flop, but when i miss the flop i'm put in a bad position. do i raise? call another guy's raise? or check/fold? Or should i just limp in before the flop with these hands?They seem really overrated to me.

Last Friday, I played a NL HE tournament with my friends. There was 6 of us and we started off with 25$ in chips and the blinds were at .25/.50.my friends basically suck at poker, they have read super system 2 and think they're the best now. They'll call with alot of sh*t and raise with crap. First hand of the night i get dealt JJ in the SB. 2 players limp in. I raise 3$. Both players call.Flop is K K QI bet 2$. both players call.Turn is QI check, another player checks, and the last player bets 2$.I fold...it turns out that 1 guy had a A6 and the other guy had a QT.How should I have playe

I was recently playing NL HE tourny and it got down to heads-up with a friend of mine (1st place was 60$, 2nd was 10$). We were about even with 30$ in chips when this hand came up... Blinds at .25/.50Im on the button with A4 and raise it to 2$ (I had been raising almost every hand on the button and raising again on the flop). My friend, who is a tight/aggressive player who occasionally bluffs, calls the 2$. Flop is A 6 8 rainbow. He checks, and I raise 2$. He moves all-in.What would you do?

I was reading the limit HE section of SS2 and I was wondering if ya'll think some of the strategies she discusses are applicable for NL.

Absolutely.

I think it depends on your chip stack.If he's putting you all-in, then fold. If not, i'd call.

Im playing a NL HE ring game with 7 of my friends and this hand came up...I have about 40$ in chips, player 2 has about 20$, and player 3 has 15$.Im on the button with K5o. Player 2 is the UTG+2, and player 3 is in the BB.Everyone folds to Player 2, who limps in. Everyone else folds to me, so i limp in. Player 3, who is very loose and bluffs alot, raises it 2$ above the blinds. Player 2 calls and I call.Flop is 5 7 7 .Player 3 checks, Player 2 raises and i re-raise him. Player 3 folds, and player 2 calls.Turn is a 2 Player 2 raises 2$ more and i have no idea what to do. If he had a high PP

Last weekend i played a NL HE ring game with 4 of my friends and heres what happened...I have about 45$ in chips, another guy (we'll call him Joe) has about 55$, another guy (we'll call him Bob) has 35$ and he's in the BB, and the other guy has like 20$.Im in the small blind with 66 (blinds at .25/.50). The Joe is UTG and raises 2$ above the blinds. the dealer folds. I call, and Bob calls too.Flop is A 7 6 :club:I raise 5$, which was a pretty big sized bet in our game. Bob and Joe both call.Turn is J I raise 5$ again. Both players call.River is J :club:I move all-in. Both players call.I hav

I don't like to check the river when i have a big hand. If i make a full house on the flop, i'll check it to the river then make a 4x BB bet. Your opponent will most likely fold or re-raise. He might think you're trying to steal the pot and re-raise, this has happened to me on several occasions.

Every weekend i play poker with some friends. 2nd place gets his buy-in back and 1st place gets the rest. 8-12 people usually play.With this payout structure, 1st place is the really the only place that matters, and I usually outlast everyone until its heads-up. Those 5 mins of heads-up play is the only thing that matters. Those 2-3 hours that i've been outlasting people mean absolutely nothing.Any ideas on how I should play heads-up? like starting hands, etc...
