Re: Help me settle a bet

Rand,

Your post has helped crystallize some concepts in my head.

Everyone agrees that casino profits are determined by action*edge. I think what AaronBrown is trying to say is that action can...

Re: Help me settle a bet

You know a lot of stuff, Aaron. Do you work in casino management or something?

The drop is directly related to the house edge, right? The amount of action is very important, of course ("faster"...

Interesting stuff, Aaron. After reading your post I looked up Gambler's ruin on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_Ruin

Help me settle a bet

A friend of mine believes that casinos benefit from the tendency of gamblers to leave the table when they've reached their stop-loss, but stay when they're winning. My position is that this behavior...

Re: my version of ray zee\'s \"the different stages in a player\'s life\"

Unless you need a ton of money to start a business or something (and you're very certain this is what you want to do), it's silly to kill yourself putting in all those hours. Everyone thinks they'll...

Re: On Jeans

I've found Earl to be a lot better than Lucky Brand. I don't like the gay back pockets on 7 and Evisu jeans.

Never tried Diesel.

Re: How long did it take you to be a high stakes NL holdem pro?

Until they play a statistically significant number of hands against one another, we'll never know whether the best internet players are better than the name B&M pros. There's no point in arguing.

Re: CRed on turn w/66

I don't think it's as automatic a calldown as everyone else does. You've got enough hands on the guy that we can be reasonably certain he's pretty passive. I, too, include my opponents' check-raise...

Re: why play b &m?

No offense, but you're nuts if you're considering switching to B&M play. You can make much much more multitabling the Party 5-10 6-max than you can in the Commerce 40-80. It's not even close. More...

Re: Should I take the bar?

I can't tell you whether to take the bar or not. If time travel were possible I'd recommend that you go back and not attend law school in the first place.

But if you're going to take the bar, you...

Re: somewhat interesting deep stack flop decision

Isn't this a simple math problem?

There's $4200 in the pot. If you get it all-in here you're risking $9K to win $13.2K as a 61.5% favorite against A/images/graemlins/club.gifAx and a 65.1%...
