Re: Ruling question on exposed cards and premature Turn

The ruling I made was exactly as described by everyone else... What made this extremely difficult is it was at a local game where the tournament director was a complete doof and had no idea what the...

Re: [censored] tipping dealers

We tip the dealer because we want good dealers and if you don't pay them you won't have any. So you either tip them to reward those who are good and keep them there. Or you put them into an anal...

Re: Ceasars poker room--stupid is as stupid does!

Re: bottom pair...induce bluff?

If you bet the river what calls you that doesn't beat you? Not very much... And you are unlikely to get a better hand to fold. So check/call is the only line I would even consider other than...

Re: 2/4 casino hold\'em

Re: check in the dark??

I generally do a check in the dark when I have an insanely strong hand (A's, K's mainly) which are unlikely to improve on the flop and I want to give the indication of a "wild gambling" player. I...

Re: Party Football Promo - Week #6

DUH! Yeah you are right... experienced QB = good times. Of course with Chicago their QB doesn't do anything anyways. Runs 3 plays and gives it back to their defense. Did I hear right that the chicago...

Re: Becoming a dealer in Vegas

Why would you think that Dealer Schools are frowned upon? Some uppity people may think that if you have to go school then you shouldn't be a dealer. And I agree that 90% of people who come out of the...

Re: Stats post - 50,000 hands at Party 5/10

This is more a general question... I noticed that you only fold the river 10% of the time, and that you only fold on the flop 2% of the time after a pre-flop raise. Is that fairly standard? Do most...

Re: 2-5NL Games in Vegas: Can you make a living?

Nobody that stays at 4/8 has a true winrate of 2 BB/100. 4/8 Vegas = $0.50/1.00 online. And there are a LOT of people who can sustain a 6-7 BB/100 winrate at 0.50/1.00 online. Now 99.9% of those...

Re: Party Poker - AvgPot: which Mean?

I believe it is an average over the last X hands... Based on the texture of the table and how quickly they move around I would put that X somewhere around 20-30 hands.

Re: Does your significant other mind poker?

Well, I was playing poker when we met... and I paid for her dream wedding and honeymoon to Paris with poker winnings. So she is pretty supportive of it now.
