Just thought I would post a hand that I played a few weeks ago at the Windsor Casino in the $1-2 (100 max buy-in) No Limit game. I'm on the button with J
K
Table has been playing fairly tight, not many raises most of the night. 5 people before me limp in, as do I, and the blinds call and check. Flop comes 9
10
Q
Perfect flop for my hand, sort of.... Second position bets $10, two players fold, one calls and I raise it to $30 to go. BB calls, as does the original bettor. Turn brings Q
Uh oh.... BB bets out $20, second player calls, I call. (question 1 - should I have raised here, or gone all in? I had about $325 in front of me at this point, way more than either player still left in the hand, who both had around $100-$150 left) River Card comes K
BB checks, P2 checks, I bet out $20. BB asks the dealer "How much can I raise?" and pushes all in. P2 folds, and with my Nut straight flush, it's an easy call. BB flips over A
Q
for the Ace high flush. (question 2 - What can the big blind possibly think I have at this point? With only the Ace high flush, any bet I would make here would probably have him beaten. The board is paired, with a 4 card straight flush) (question 3 - The session fee at Windsor is $6 per 1/2 hour at the $100 max NL table. Am I the only one that thinks that is way too high?? That's 6 BB per hour---Tough to beat the house in that game) Any input is appreciated.

I don't understand the guy's river push either, not with a straight flush and a full house board staring him in the face. If he was determined to push no matter what (which he obviously was) it would've made more sense to push on the turn when he still had a bunch of outs against a made straight or flush, and even had a handful of outs against a turned full house. He still would've lost, but that's my take on his push.As for your play ... not sure you could've done that much better, you got all his money right? If you raise the turn and run into a made full boat you're drawing to only two outs (the 8
and K
) which would hurt. The fact that you actually hit it doesn't make a turn raise any less dicey, imo. So all in all ... nice hand!

Regarding your question on the $6/1/2 hour. I think that is high. I play at the Borgata in AC, and at the 2-5 table ($500 buy-in) it is $5. At the 1-2 ($300 buy-in) they take a rake, up $3 per pot. One of the many reasons to play online...although I enjoy live poker much more, it just isn't as convenient.

I'd have to figure that I'm beat to two outs.

i dont understand how this is in the strategy forumyou got a straight flushnhnext.....
i saw him at the riverbank. he was breaking bread and giving thanks. with crosses made of pipes and planks. leaned up against the nitrous tanks.
he said take a hit. hold your breath and i'll dunk your head. then when you wake up, you'll be high as hell and born again.
