Perfect Poker Play

I’m going to be in LA on Wed and Thursday. I’m looking for 10/20 and 15/30 Stud. Any ideas where I can get a good game? If I recall, one of them had delicious free food for the 15/30 players. Where?

Answer 1:

Sounds like you’re thinking of Commerce. The food is good, the game selection is great, but the rake is a bit high. For 10-20 expect to pay $6 per 1/2 hour. 15-30 – $7. 20-40 – $8.HollywoodParkhas a 15-30 game that is usually pretty good and a sporadic 25-50 game. The food at HP is just as good as Commerce and has a comp menu and $2 regular dinners. I preferHollywoodParkbecause of the $3 flat drop in the 15-30 game.

Answer 2:

The Commerce has fabulous action and the BEST food anywhere. Plenty of games. The Bike, with its new remodel also has plenty of action. HollywoodParkis another option. These would be your best spots at finding stud at the limits you mentioned.  Sorry I missed you when you were inLVearlier this month. Will you be at ESCARGOT at Crystal Park later this month?

Answer 3:

HPC also has a 10/20 stud game on the board now, but I don’t know how often it goes. There is often a 20/40 stud game now too, as well as a regular 20/40 hi/lo/8 game.

30-60 Hold’em, 9-handed at the moment, I open-raise under the gun with 77, everyone folds to the button who 3-bets, maniac in small blind 4-bets, big blind folds, I cold call two, button caps at 5-bets, and we both call.  The button player is basically an unknown, having just recently started the game, but seems respectable despite his epicanthic folds. Flop comes A87, small blind checks, I bet, button raises, small blind calls all-in for one chip, I call. Turn a blank, say a 3.  I check, button bets, I call. River is a 9.  I check, button bets, I raise, he 3-bets, I muck. Now he has to show for the main pot and turns over AA. Comments?

Answer 1:

Well, you saved a bet on the end. I assume it was the raise on the river that convinced you the fellow had a bigger set if not top set. I could not have mucked at that time. As you know you have to be virtually certain you’re beat to make that play profitable because you’re saving one bet versus a huge pot. In retrospect, could you have gotten out earlier? Did you begin to believe that maybe your set wasn’t good before you got to the river? Once again, it would be very hard for me to lay down this hand. I generally have a cutoff of 88 as the lowest pair I’ll raise with
UTG.  Obviously, this can vary depending on the game and my image. If it were me that this had happened to, my thinking would be whether or not I was playing too aggressively with 77 in an early position. If I were to be at all critical I would argue that choosing to play this hand in that position was the bad decision.

Answer 2:

Take this FWIW from someone who is far from an expert limit holdem player. It’s been a while since I looked at the starting hand strategy on your site, but isn’t raising under the gun with 7-7 a bit maniacal? For the rest of the hand, one can argue for and against playing faster on the flop or turn instead of waiting for the river. I usually like to put the question to them early in a big pot. On the river, you could have lost the same two bets by betting and calling his raise, and if he’d had A-8 you’d be really sorry you had not played it that way.  But good read on the laydown.

Answer 3:

With pre-flop getting capped I’m suspicious of A-A. An A on the flop and I’m check calling the whole way. Of course this is based on the $2-5 spread games I’m used to. Not too many players would go to the cap with less than A-A. Now a $3-5 game full of Asian gamblers might be a different story.

Need some advice on the following play. I am heads up in a no limit holdem game and we are playing winner take all ($1500). I have a small chip lead, about 120 to 80 for my opponent and we are playing 2 – 4 blinds. The blinds double every 1/2 hour. I start catching a lot of rags and my opponent has been very aggressively going all-in once every 2 or 3 hands. Looking down on the button, I see Ace Queen of hearts and make a small raise of 4 chips. Again my opponent goes all in on my small raise (at this time we are about even in chip count since he has been stealing my blinds). Should I call all in myself or not? I did call as I put him on Ace rag and I was right, he had Ace 10 of diamonds and I won with Ace Q high. What I want to know is if I did the right thing since I have not played no limit a lot.

Answer 1:

If he’s been going all in frequently then he’s been doing it with some pretty weak hands. On his part, doing that when the flinds are still pretty small is really stupid. Your AQ was likely a huge favorite. I’m surprised his hand was even as good as it was.

Answer 2:

No way, muck it. If he is raising too often all in wait until you have at least a pair. What are you going to lose, 4 or 6 chips, forget about it.

Answer 3:

Ace Queen of hearts heads up is a tremendous hand. Especially with your opponent raising a lot. You can’t wait for a big pocket pair so put it in and let’s gamble.
