Re: Quick preflop range checkup in 100r
It's worth mentioning that we should subtract about 1000 chips from our EV to compensate for when one of the blinds wakes up w/ AK/TT+. This adds about 2% to the 45% breakeven call figure. It may...

preflop implied odds quesssssstion
Stars 20r (hope this is fine for HSMTT). Villain is 37/25/inf over just 16 hands, I think I recognize him as a decent player. My image is pretty loose, and probably somewhat bad (thus I don't...

Re: Tourneys that need guarantees
I agree, and the guarentees wouldn't even need to be that high. Lots of fish just play with one buyin anyways, so having like a 20k guarentee on a 20r is still significant.

Re: Defining your hand: is it ever a good idea?
Simply having a "somewhat balanced gameplan" doesn't mean there aren't certain combinations of flops/turns/rivers along with your betting action that you'd only do with a specific type of hand.

99 in stars nightly - uncomfy on all streets
I have aggro preflop image, villain is 16/7 after 60 and seems to be a solid player.
I feel pretty uncertain/uncomfortable on every street, and usually that means I butchered things pretty badly. ...

I dunno why everyone's so extreme with their opinions on this. These spots are difficult to calculate, and it's probably pretty close.
