Yes, blackjack is not a game of skill really...well, yes, it's a game of skill in that there is an optimal strategy, but it's STILL a losing strategy! There's also an optimal strategy for slots (bet...

Re: HSBC Offshore Bank, Possible Work Around

If you don't have 10k laying around, if there were no other good options, ask yourself, can you make more than the £15 fee each month? If not, you really shouldn't be playing online anyway.

Re: BB/hand per starting hand: any references?

It doesn't address the win rate per hand, but every hand that you play, that's not played from the blinds, should be profitable. If it's not, why are you playing it?!

Of course, if you only have...

Re: KcJc, how did I play this?

*grunch*

Assuming the pre-flop raiser is not a maniac, ask yourself what he's raising with in early position.

The most likely hands are:
AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, maybe AJs.

Now, while there...

You just gave up a shitload of money.

Well, in this case, I didn't since the SB had a 6 and would almost certainly have stayed in, but I know what you mean...long term, yes.

Re: When do I raise my QQ on a ultra-loose table?

You have to play a premium hand like QQ aggressivly. You'll probably win less often if you raise preflop, since a lot of people will call more often in a big pot than in a small. But the...

Re: Too loose on the later streets vs folding the winning hand

Somewhere....and I simply don't recall where, I saw someone write that if your W$SD was over 50%, you're probably folding too often.

Re: Slowplay of trips after calling a pre-flop raise

No, I didn't lose to a flush. Somehow I think I overlooked the flush potential on the flop during the actual hand though. Been a long time since I made that newbie mistake.

Slowplay of trips after calling a pre-flop raise

Re: AJo pretty standard play?

Seems standard to me.

As for what he might have, since he called a pre-flop raise, I would put him on an A7, A5, A3 (hopefully suited since those are poor kickers) or Ax with x being a face card. ...
