Re: $400NL 6max. How do I play KINGS?

This is a tricky situation on the flop because it seems like a pretty safe flop for KK but you're opponent minraising you screams strenth, probably more than one pair or AA or an overpair lower than...

Re: Harrington\'s 10 to 1 rule

This is exactly why people don't try to take away the blinds/antes from someone like Gus Hansen whose known to make some loose calls and then fire with air (or well-disguised monster) on ragged...

Re: HOH 3 Problem #4

I don't want to give the impression that I think checking is a horrible play here, as there are scenarios where checking might turn out extremely well, I just don't think betting should be 0 pts and...

Re: HOH 3 Problem #4

I agree with you completely, and with Harrington, that you want to get as much money in on this hand as possible; however, I think the time to do it is on the flop and the way to do that is to bet...

Re: HOH 3 Problem #4

Betting out in situations like this is Super System 101 and I guess I tend to agree with brunson more than Harrington. I can't see how he can give 0 pts for betting any amount. In general, it seems a...

Re: PP $33 12k G : did i pull the trigger prematurely ???

This is a trickier situation than it seems. The thing that gets me is that with the current stack/blind ratios, limping with huge hands is a bad play; however, in low buy-in tourneys like this people...

Re: Am I Missing Something

I think he is just saying that a lot of people justify over-aggressive plays by claiming to have fold equity that they don't really have. Especially in loose games, many times the chance that...

Re: Alan Goehring on min raising - do you agree?

I understand Alan's min-raising in the early deep-stacked stages of a tourney. It's similar to why Doyle recommends limping with a lot of hands in deep money cash games. Basically deep-stacked poker...

Re: shortstacked, push with 77?

i'm not bitter, but yes you are right, online i should play as if I don't have a table image, or much less of one.

Re: Hand History from 2nd place finish in $500k

hey MSU, congrats on the win. I find it interesting that you seem to have an ultra-tight style. It seems as if almost every hand you got involved with in the first half of the tourney was at least...

Re: shortstacked, push with 77?

This is especially true in online tourneys where it seems nobody gets any respect at all.

first raiser pushes and cold caller folds. I'm against TT and fail to catch.

Looking back i don't really like the move because of many of the reasons you guys mentioned; however, it's interesting...

Re: shortstacked, push with 77?

you're probably right, but i guess since most pots were getting raised ahead of me and the blinds were about to go up to 75/150 i felt a bit desperate.

Re: shortstacked, push with 77?

Well yes, the play is obviously contrary to squeaky tight, but what I was saying is that my image was squeaky tight. If someone doesn't play a hand for three rounds, his image is going to be pretty...

Re: shortstacked, push with 77?

i would say that any hand above 99 and the push is mandatory and obvious. 77 might be dicey, but i thought my tight image might have made it OK. Seriously hadn't played a hand in soooo long. Not even...

shortstacked, push with 77?

Stars 180 person SNG 20+2, down to about 1200 due to a severe lack of cards. Table is not overly tight or loose, but reasonably aggressive with most players coming in with a raise. Blinds are 50/100...

Re: life in the fast lane

I think I agree with you based on how the hand was played. You are the big stack and have two pair, just jam it. Don't run around being afraid of slowplays.

Re: 55 Stealing From CO+1 Facing BB All-in

Mandatory call. 55 from CO+1 isn't really a steal as your hand is likely better to be the best of the remaining hands. The blinds might play back at you with worse hands like A-any, Kxs and things...

Re: Stars 33 DeepStack - hand vs pearljam1012

You probably have to call the river. You might be beat, but you've mentioned that your image was uber-tight so he could be out of line here. His turn could've been a probe to see where you stand on...

Re: life in the fast lane

These unraised multiway pots are so murky. Unless you have a read on UTG that he frequently limps with big hands, I like a preflop raise to clarify the waters and punish the limpers. Make it 900 or...
