I want to show u guys what will separate u from the pack, here is an example of a pretty sick call that i made, but it only really took me a few seconds to put the hand together. I raise preflop with 56ss, there were 2 callers, Flop came down i made a continuation bet, which i will do alot of the time i got called by both players, turn hits, it goes check around, and now the river actually hits me, but not really that good, player one cks i ck and the button moves all in immediately, Now i looked at the hands that i thought this player would be holding here, I did not put him on an ace for sure, because he just flat called my flop bet and then he cked the turn, so no ace for sure i thought, Hes not gonna bet the King there, so the only hand he might have had was 888 , but this is very unlikely also if u play the math, i think he would have bet the turn with trips, especially with 2 other players in the hand, now after computing the info i gathered, i put this man on one of three hands here, a broadway draw, either TJ QT or QJ, i call him down immediately and he shows TJ, a busted broadway draw. These are the types of things u need to do to separate urself from the pack as a poker player and it really isnt that hard if u just concentrate and think about what is going on during the hands that u play. GL at the tables, and play the other players cards, dont let the cards play u

Nice hand Cat. The min raise from that position with 56s is interesting but it worked out. Nice read. It's tough to put somebody on a gut-shot draw for that kind of bet. Granted, no flush draw so if you put him on a draw then what else is there?

What stands out to me the most in this hand is the all-in bet on the river. The first question I ask myself is, What are the stakes in this game and what is the skill level of this player? If we're talking a freeroll or lower buyin then that bet is clearly an over bet and an attempt to buy the pot. I think a skilled player is certainly capable of making that bet with a monster to induce that call.

Assuming it's a lower skilled player, the only reason for him to make a bet that strong (being last to act) is that the only way he feels he can win the pot is to steal it. Frankly, few people make that call with a 6 and even when they do it doesn't win every time. The only hand you beat here is an absolute bluff.

Nice one.

very nice call, your thinking makes alot of sense (I don't usually think that deep into a hand.....gotta be one of my leaks) and it was a very good read. It's the type of call that either makes you look like a complete idiot or a genius, i've had both experiences lol...keep up the great poker cat.

Nice call there. I dont I could have made it. On a side note he could be pushing a small ace there or maybe along the lines of KQ or KJ.

This was actually a 100$ buy in or higher i believe. I dont play small stakes or freerolls. This is the kind of situation where my instincts will sometimes kick in and i just know what somebody is holding. I scare my self sometimes(lol), ive done it before with a board of K37, then turn was 8, the guy checked to me i bet a feeler bet he raised me, i reraised he calls real quick, and the river brought another K, putting KK378 on the board, he fired all in on river, i had QT , no pair nodraw, i told the guy for some reason i can smell u have 9T, i called him with Q high and he flipped over the 9T, i dont know how to explain it but i just know sometimes.

This is not unusual for you cat...what makes you a winner is your instincts and timing, I have told you that time and time again....I see it from you all the time, not just in picking apart bluffs, but picking apart the game.

he fired all in on river, i had QT , no pair nodraw, i told the guy for some reason i can smell u have 9T, i called him with Q high and he flipped over the 9T, i dont know how to explain it but i just know sometimes._____cat
