Re: 2/4 Villian leads turn, 3 bets river, then folds to a cap.

Preflop: I'd have folded.
Flop: Raise = good
Turn: This is the interesting one to me. I would've raised it. But looking at how this went down, I'm kind of intrigued with not representing the...

Re: 5/10 -- Two river decisions

Hand1: I'm a bit unclear on this one. What was the point of the raise on the flop? Were you representing a flush draw or a 9? Doesn't seem like you have enough players in for a raise for a flush...

Re: small flush on river

My inexpert thinking... We're looking at two other players, both of whom really liked that 8s. I have to figure that both of them either have a flush or a straight or else they're total fish. ...

Re: Oh No You Di\'in\'t! (5/10)

Well, I can confirm that twice I've been check/raised on the turn by some idiot with delusions of world series of poker. Sadly for him, both times I had a reasonable hand and wasn't buying it. ...

Re: Does Ax have more value in 6 max?

I think the key here is _MORE_ value. Yes it does. But that isn't going to make a "group -" hand into something playable. In full ring, I fold AT and below. In 6 max, I'm playing A9 & A8 also.

Re: How many 2-4 3-6 hands to start to make a profit?

I'm still learning 2/4, but I'm about at 1bb/100 now. At 350 hands per hour (multi-tabling), that's $14/hour. Not great, but at least it's in the green for the last two months. It took me around...

Re: Number of hands needed to judge profit?

So the correct answer to this question is to use a combination of numbers that pokertracker provides to take your baseline bb/100 and put an error margin around it using standard deviation. There...

Re: 2/4 EP with QJs

I personally would've folded this preflop. There's just too many ways to get burned with QJ. Once you're in, I'm fine with the check on the flop, although a check-raise has it's appeal also. On...

Lets think about this, if you're going to limp AA, what is your plan in doing so? If you're going for the limp-reraise, this can create other problems. There was a time early on in my...

Re: Coldcalling PPs preflop

I see ALL pocket pairs as roughly the same. There are two different ways to play them.

a) Play them for the set.
In this case, I'm looking for myself and 4 opponents on the flop. Given how...

Re: Difference between Pot Equity and Win %

Re: Am I playing a pair of 10\'s wrong? 4 hands to prove I suck at 2/4

Hand1: Why did you call this flop? BB bet into three players with an AK on the board. You are definitely beat at this point. So you're drawing to 2 outs which are very dirty. A ten gives you a...

Re: How long does it last to be a good poker player?

I agree, twelve thousand hands is nothing. I'm coming up on 100k hands and I'm just now getting to the place where I'm competetive at 2/4 with something like a sustained win rate.

Like you, I...

Re: I folded the best hand, should I have called all the way?

My [admittedly inexpert] read. On the turn you've got 5:1 odds. You're chances of drawing are ~8:1. So if you read as behind right now, you don't have the odds to draw.

So then the question...

Re: RESULT

Why did you bet this flop? You've got ace-high in a small pot. There is only one other play in with you. You don't have the pot odds to a pair. Villain can have J79 or a small pocket pair. Do...

You're description of a "losing table" is entirely wrong which makes the rest of your question kind of hard to answer. In the scenario that you described, there was no losing table, only a losing...
