Re: Poker After Dark thread (10/8 - Mega Match)

Re: Huge deviation from optimal strategy
First, I am assuming that all are permitted to reload that $100 buy-in as many times as they like. Otherwise, this would be more of a tourney than a cash game. But, if reloads are permitted (as...

Re: Scotty Nguyen on WSOP last night
AQ hand, okay...he had one pair. True, it's easy to judge now that the hand is over, but one pair? How many of your chips should you risk with one pair with Scotty's M vs Q?

Re: Scotty Nguyen on WSOP last night
Who remembers what has nothing to do with poker. The important issue here is whether Scotty mismanaged his position. He did -- he said he did. Fame and glory is of no value here; what is of value...

Re: Scotty Nguyen on WSOP last night
Scotty blew up, and he risked/lost all of his chips when he didn't have to. Everyone knows that including the most important person, Scotty himself.

Re: Bankrolling 17 year old kid
I'd agree that SNG's are probably not the way to start unless he will be a tourney-only player. Start with cash, and, as has been said, .01/.02 is just no fold'em hold'em for stakes that are...

You're asking if these books are outdated. My simple answer is no; nothing you can read about poker can possibly be outdated.
