1. When do you throw away AQ?
2. Do you limp in SB everytime even with crud cards?
3. When do you slow play AA?
4. Do you consider yourself a good trapper? why?
5. Your in the first postion with KK and 1 player calls your 3X BB raise.
The flop comes A72 rainbow(pot size 700), what do you do? why?
6. You are in BB (100/200) with 4200 chips and 2 7o, the SB goes all in
with his last 700 chips. Do you call or fold and why?
No other players in the hand
7. How do you handle an over aggressive table?
1. When i know its beat
2. No, thats wasting money
3. When i believe ill stack people.
4. Yes. Because i can read their hands and make bet sizes according to what they pay me.
5. I check/call. if he checks i bet the turn. If he bets and I call i check the turn unless its a K.
6. 1.5-1 odds. Instafold.
7. Tight as a tiger.
1. Not often enough. I almost never fold it pre-flop and that can't possibly be right.Quote:

For example, you call with 32 and the BB checks Q10 off suit. Flop comes AK2. You have the best hand, but you can't withstand any pressure, and will have to fold to the BB's semi-bluff raise.
3. Slow playing will get you burned quite often. I would rather take aces to the flop against one person if at all possible. So I usually open-raise them, raise them over limpers, and 3-bet most raisers. There a few times that I will "slowplay". I use quotes because I'm usually just laying low for 1 round of betting. I will limp in early position sometimes if most pots are raised at the table, when I do this I intend to 3-bet. I will call a raise against someone who folds to a lot of 3-bets preflop, just because I'm not looking to drive them out. And I'll just call most of the time if I'm in the blinds, and I close the action or if only the BB is after me.
4. No, I just play all my hands aggressively, and leave it up to you guys to figure out if I have it this time or not.
5. You don't give nearly enough information here. Does the caller have a habit of calling early position raisers? Does the caller fold to continuation bets? Does the caller like to float on the flop? Does the caller like to set mine, or play speculative hands? Does the caller play any ace? Generally I fire 1 bullet here, but that info is important to the decision.
6. Here you absolutely do not give enough info. Is this the bubble of a sit n go. Bubble of an MTT. Before the bubble of an MTT, etc. What info do I have on the SB? Is he a regular that I've seen a lot in the games, is he a well known MTT grinder, is he a complete donk? How big are the other stacks at the table? Does anyone at the table seem to understand ICM calculations and the underlying game theory? On a bubble situation, this could actually be a negative chip ev but positive dollar ev situation. I'd need to know everything about the situation, because I think I call here sometimes, but fold a good deal of the time.
7. Open raise less, 3-bet more. Play my big hands aggressively before the flop and less aggressively afterwords. Float on the flop sometimes. And if it's a cash game, if it's going to be tough to win, sometimes just standing up and finding a different table is the right move.
