Re: Chip Ferguson’s Turbo SNG Article

Wow, hand 63 seriously just gave me some much needed education.

As for hands 61 and 74, his explanations definitely made sense, but I still have problems with them. Hand 61: sure the pot odds were...

Re: PS60 - AK L1 turns TP

This seems very true as I'm typing it, but is it weak of me to limp here in SB after those three callers? I may be losing value, but raising enough to push out some of those limpers and then having...

Re: ($12) Flopped set on a drawy board, BB minbetting all the way

With the raise, are you mainly looking to hit your set? And if the flop comes rainbow < 10, against 2-3 players what action are you taking in EP? LP?

Re: 6.50 stars...Overpair with gutshot facing stupid overbet

How often, if you call, do you think you're seeing A3/76/two junk pair from the BB here when there was no preflop raise?

Relatively early with low blinds, and you've put about 300 here already. I...

Re: $6.50 turbo - early with combo draw

Call the flop push and hope everyone else comes along for the ride.

As for preflop, I generally try and remain tight so I don't get in compromising situations where I could lose my stack early. If...

Re: ($11) AK preflop vs big reraise

Pretty often in situations like this, it's a pocket pair, and PPs vs AK is usually a coinflip (50% chance of winning/losing). There's no reason to push here and take a risk so early when later in the...

Re: ($5.50) It\'s so hard to say goodbyeeeee to yesterdayyyyyeeee

I see how check-calling can gain you the most against midpairs, etc, by letting them hang themselves. I guess you can just open another sng if you're calling a shove by a K, as this doesn't happen...

Re: PS$6: QQ when an ace flops - help

Incorrect.

It would be VERY ROUGHLY 1-((42/50)*(41/50)*(40/50)) which is 20% of the time. You calculate the odds of the other cards coming three times in a row, not the 8 cards coming every time....

Re: AQ bubble

I see, so basically a min-raise is like tossing FE and probably an extra 1.5BB at the BB. Thinking about it now, any hand that the short-stack is likely to complete with he's most likely going to go...
