My dad was interested in going on a cruise and as a poker enthusiast, he wanted one where you could play NLHE on the boat.  The websites/brochures of each company are pretty sketchy so I wanted to know if anyone here had been on a cruise which had NLHE on it - but not a specific poker cruise though.

Info much appreciated.

Definitely Bellick on the floor in the prison!

I reckon Kellerman is still alive, Kim is definitely dead and the company need Michael to break one of their members out of SONA as Panama does not have an extradition treaty with the US.  Either that or him and Mahone will team up and get out together. 

I also think T Bag would like SONA a lot :-)  And when did he get recruited to catch Michael and Linc?

Hi mate,

In the hand example you have a much better draw than a flush draw - you have a gutshot and an overcard so this particular hand is a big combo draw that I tend to go all the way with on the flop if possible. 

Example:  $1/$2 game.

You raise button with KTc to $7, BB calls.

Flop comes as you describe, he checks, you bet $12, he checkraises to $36.  Here I make it about $115 to play and call a shove - you have the chance to get a hand like KQ/JQ to fold (possibly even AQ if he is tight or you have a tight image) so you can win the pot by playing aggressively and getting a fold from your opponent as well as winning if you get allin and you hit.

Out of interest, you are a 54/46 favourite over AQd in this hand.

I don't like the call on the flop.  I think I commit myself to this hand and say 'nh but I have outs' if he has AK.  You arent going to be liking many turn cards so I think you need to play this faster for sure.  You will get action from many worse hands such as AA/KK/JJ/TT or even 99 on occasion - so I like a raise to about $350 here and call a shove.

As played, I shove to the turn bet.

I'm not a full ring player but at 6 max I would generally be raising my button here to isolate the bad limper in position.

You flopped a gigantic draw and at this point I am thinking how to get my money in.  I think your raise is too small - I make this about $1.50 bearing in mind his small lead and the call of it - from here, if I get raised 3x then I commit myself to the pot by either repopping again for about 3x or shoving depending on stack sizes.

As played, I bet the turn too (although your bet seems fairly small) - I think pot is ~$3.25 so I'd be betting about $2.50 here.

I'm not sure you get many worse hands to call a river bet so checking behind seems fine.
