Re: Decent Online News Article

I feel we are making the statistical analysis overly complex. Let's simplify things (and I realize the number won't be exact), which gives us a nice basis to work with so we can argue how unlikely...

Re: Blog entry for Sunday Million Win

Hey mlagoo, I'm a lurker here, but couldn't resist writing. Enjoyed your blog entry, and am basically a tourney grinder such as you described (winning player, but no huge wins save two $3000+ wins)....

Re: Part 1 of my PokerStars 1 million video up at PXF

Just finished watching the video and will give you my thoughts.
It was a very good video. I liked the fact you spent time going over key hands, even if you weren't involved in them, to show the...

Re: Part 1 of my PokerStars 1 million video up at PXF

I'm a little unclear why you advocated not playing the A4s handed early. As you said, you want to get in pots against these weak players. Wouldn't the A4s hand be good to play, not for hitting the...

Re: Part 1 of my PokerStars 1 million video up at PXF

Do you want feedback here or at pokerxfactor?
I just started watching, and would just say that you should define 'fancy-play syndrome' as I don't think that is common terminology (outside of 2+2, I...

Re: MTT Bankroll thoughts

BennyMac, so every time you play an additional tournament you update your risk of ruin (i.e. if you finish out of the money in your 179th tournament, do you re-calculate your risks)?
Why not include...

Re: How often are you in the money?

I don't understand this talk about average stack size, even late in a tournament. Why does this matter? I consider my stack size relative to the blinds (i.e. how many orbits I have), I consider how...

Re: Hand History from my 35k win

Hand 210, why'd you decide to call with A6? Not saying it was a bad play, but I'm guessing you must have noticed the guy was rather donk-ish and rather on tilt. Still, rather a marginal call to me.

Re: Nickeled and Dimed to Death

Would you call if you were heads-up against the villain (i.e. the BB had folded already)? That would be a leak, I think, against low buy-in opponents who often bet small as a low-risk bluff. ...

Re: Help plug the leak...

I'm actually a little surprised more people didn't get on your case about the min-raise preflop. This is an absolutely HORRIBLE play with 66 preflop. First of all, no SB is going to fold getting...

Re: Another late tourney question

I would just like to note that sometimes in these small buy-ins, people raise more with small pairs because they don't want to see a flop. If that's the case with the villain, stop n' go is quite...

Re: just pure maniacal or did he just make an amazing/donkinsh call on

Um, what was your hand? I couldn't even understand that from your post, sorry.

Re: $3R Gutshot Hand

What's your read on him? Kinda a weird play to limp in early position, then bet out the minimium at the flop, right? Was he limping often, or rarely? Would he play a set like this (and thus full...

Re: To gamble or not to gamble late: That is my question

[ QUOTE ]
Well - this is one of those situations I construct for myself sometimes where my actions CREATE a situation for the pot-odds-based call with a hand that's behind.

Example - I'm in CO...

Re: To gamble or not to gamble late: That is my question

We were at one of those tables where a lot of players were limping, and were going unpunished. The player in question was a chronic limper. So I raised him with my Qjs, being pretty certain that he...

To gamble or not to gamble late: That is my question

(First time post, so my apologies if not in proper MTT style or anything)
I won a tournament yesterday, and I think it was directly because of a donk play, so now I'm wondering if it was actually...
