Usually their hands are great examples of play BUT... A $30-$60 game. You are in the big blind holding T-9. The button open-raises and the small blind calls. You call. There is $180 in the pot and three players. The flop is: 9-7-4, giving you top pair. The small blind checks. You bet and both opponents call. There is $270 in the pot. The turn is the 5. The small blind checks. What do you do?AnswerBet. It is hard to know exactly where you stand, but you must follow through with a bet. You have top pair, which may be good. Your two opponents may fold on the expensive street, since it is unlikely that a board of nine-high helped them. Don't let a button raiser who could have been stealing on any ace or king get a free card to take the pot. If you get raised, you should strongly consider folding.It's 10-9 offsuit. Being in this hand is terrible, correct?Is this bet a spew?

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

more than one sixth of the time, which is what you're paying when you call from the blind. You're getting excellent pot odds to call, so I don't think it's a spew at all... You're getting 5 to 1 on a pot you'll win about 4-1 or maybe 3.5 to 1.....

You have to bet out in this situation - no reason not to. No one is showing any strength. High pair is quite possibly still good, and you don't want to give AK/AQ a free card to hit. Force them to make a decision.Dev

You have to protect your hand right now I think, raiser probably has AK/AQ maybe even 88/99. Cold caller may have a small PP, but given the action on the flop I think you have to keep betting at the pot, a free card could kill you and a good player with AK will usually fold on the turn to a bet.A check here shows weakness and they may bet with anything, then what do you do? I'd say most of the time you have the best hand.Preflop call is a little loose but not terrible, I've defended by BB with less.

i tried to talk here about that program, the RNG , not to talk about when to accept all in without to see flop.
You can accept all in whenever you want, or whenever you feel lucky, but in virtual room's is not like in reality. In reality anything is possible... in virtual rooms you can be "the one" who knows the future, or who can change the future.
