Re: why would David Chiu be playing .25/.50 on FTP?

I don't know for sure, but I would assume it's part of his contract with FT.

From what I gather there are no contracts that say they must play lower limits. They are...

Re: Moving bankroll with Neteller

Re: Trip KKK\'s on river, me and Perry disagree.

My thoughts after reading this are that I agree with Perry. What reason do you have to bet here? There's no way he's calling with a worse hand, and I can't see him laying down anything that beats...

Re: I\'m an American with $50 in my pocket

Here's another question: Do you guys recommend counting bonuses into your poker bankroll?

For example, Stars is offering a 100% bonus up to $50 on your first deposit. If I deposit $50, should I...

Re: A5s in the SB

Yeah, I am trying to figure out your rationale for check calling the flop here? Maybe I can understand what you were going for on the turn, but I have no idea why you would play the flop that way.

Re: Great quote for beginners from Phil Ivey

Re: Great quote for beginners from Phil Ivey

It's a good quote, but it's actually quite irrelevant for beginners. No player starts out at a level where this applies.

Re: I\'m an American with $50 in my pocket

I should have noted in my OP that my FTP bonus is already wasted, as I have played around on there a bit, but their lowest limit tables are .10/.25 anyway.

It appears Stars is clearly my best...

Re: 77 - this is a fold isn\'t it?

Automatic fold. A pair of 7s is never going to take this pot down, so you would be playing to flop a set against three other players.

Unfortunately, after reading through the microlimit bankroll building threads in the FAQ and such, it seems that these guides have since lost their relevancy for American players.

Suffice it to say that far less people have this information than you might imagine, and an even smaller number of players could apply it properly.

Re: Moving up to clear bonuses

Moving up to clear bonuses makes no sense at all, especially if you're worried enough to ask about it. There's too a strong possibility that you could end up losing enough to offset the bonus. I...
