Can anyone explain to me the concept of 'Sklansky Bucks'? Or link me to a thread ? I'd appreciate it . .

Alright Ill try this before I go to bed. I'm not sure if this is techinically the definition, but its what Sklansky's getting at.

Say youre playing 50nl and effective stacks are exactly $50. You and one opponent see a flop in the blinds for $.50 each thus a $1 pot. Dont worry about open limping in the SB and all that, you both see a flop for $.50. Now this is a good flop and you are exactly a 2:1 favorite (66.67% to win). You and your opponent get AI on this flop somehow (once again it doesnt matter what the action is, youre just AI), pot=$100 assume no rake.

.6667*100=+$66.67 for the times that you win

.3333*(-100)=-$33.33 for the time you lose

Add them up and your $Ev=+33.34.
So regardless of what the actual outcome is, everytime you get it in on this flop as a 2:1 fav for 100bb, you win $33.34 sklansky bux. Usually people talk about making sklansky bux when they get sucked out on in this situation (they really lost $100 bc of the suckout but made $33.34 in sklansky bux).

what stakes? At NL50 I made a ton of money off people "bluffing me" (turning their hands into bluffs against my range). I basically played like a calling station turn/river

25 - I should have been more specific though. Against the bad nits, which I've seen plenty of on FTP this past week, value betting is the way to go. They're not going to bluff you so you might as well figure out where you stand asap.

I've been taking a few shots at 50, though, and have picked off quite a few bluffs off lagtards. There seem to be more of those at 50 than 25.

OK here we go again.

First session at my "new" stakes...
Suckoutbombing still couldn't stop me from a whopping 6PTBB session. Woot! 1 buyin for NL50!!!!
