I already have an idea on how much I should raise here but I’m wondering if most people are going to suggest I raise here.

I’m aware of the dangers of limping but given this table I thought that would be extremely unlikely to not get raised by someone.

Sort of an offshoot topic. I've never been on a cruise but a guy in my room recently went on one to St. Kitts and said he played poker the entire time and that it was the easiest winnings of his life. Is it possible to pay for your entire cruise by crushing old geezers at the SS poker table?

Playing four handed at my local casino, 3 Regulars and 1 Spanish "fish", this guy bluffs a lot and can have anything..

relevant HH vs him, UTG straddles he makes it 30 with 23o in SB, I 3bet to 100 with AJs in BB he calls, I remember I lost the bare minimum as the final board was Q42 A 2 with a flush and I value betted river small and he just called afraid of the flush or something like that..

$2/$5 at Mohegan Sun on a Saturday afternoon.

Hero is 30s white guy. I probably have an aggressive image compared with the rest of the table.

Villain is a middle aged white woman. Prior to today she was unknown to me. She is mostly passive and pretty loose. I did see her 3bet 99 from the BTN in one hand.

Hero and Villain played a big pot last orbit. Hero opens QQ UTG. Two players call. Villain 3bets to $45 from BTN. SB (fishy old guy) cold

Hi all,

I was playing some $1/$3 at my local casino last night:

PREFLOP

Folds to the LJ, a new young player who's finding his feet. He opens to $12 and the C/O and BTN both call. I'm in the SB with K♣J♣ - and figure this is a good opportunity to squeeze, so I raise to $70. Only the button calls. He has $320 behind and I have him covered.

FLOP ($152 after rake)

T♥ 7♦ 6♣

I've whiffed, but I have backdoors and overcards, and I've seen villain make sever

Just wondering if anyone knows how to figure this out?

For example, what's the optimal RFI size in a $2/$5 game with 10% rake up to $10 + $2 for bonuses once the pot is over $20?

Or a $1/$3 game with 10% rake up to $10 + $2 for bonuses once the pot is over $20?

Folds around to the OMC, who 3B's to $140, leaving about $300 behind. Folds back around to hero.

Hero?

Kind of an obvious spot, when the nitty OMC limp-3B's for almost 1/3 of his stack, right? Gotta be AA or KK, right?

Villain is a rec player, VPIP/PFR is something like 60/40. Recent hand same config utg vs bb, he 3bet to $55 and cbets $100 on Qhi flop with AQo.

He's down a few buyins at this point and has somewhat tightened up.
