Barney Frank\'s Inconsistencies
I thought Frank's opening comments at the Financial Services committee were excellent, and he made a lot of good points about individual liberty.
Why doesn't he think these same principles apply...

Odds of AA Five Times in 60 Hands
Saw a guy at FullTilt get AA five times and KK once in 60 hands.
On average, you should get AA 0.27 times in that many hands, with a standard deviation of SQRT[(1/221)*(220/221)*60)] = 0.52
So...

Just saw full_tilting limp for $2 in MP, then fold when the BB made it $4 more (getting more than 2 to 1 odds.) This might be a very exploitable weakness. Has anyone else seen it make similar weak...

Re: \"time to time, everyone goes bust\" - true?
Chris Ferguson has a general rule: never buy in for more than 5% of your bankroll, and leave the table if you ever get up over 10% of your bankroll.
Using this system I think it would be near...

I've heard that after $5k they freeze you and ask for more documents, and with their [censored] customer support the whole process can take months.
Is it when your account balance exceeds $5,000...

Re: 1-2 NL: A-A c/r on flop. DEEP
Is there any way that Villian would play a set like this? If he thinks you're a donk calling station wouldn't he just get the money in on the flop, especially with you 3-betting?
His play is...

Re: NL200: AA - valuebet river?
There's no way Villian is checking a better hand here. Not sure if Villian is calling a pot sized bet so I'd say make it 90 or so. Call a push.

Re: where is the fold button?
I think calling is slightly better than CR here. Although you're probably ahead, we don't want to be playing a huge pot against this guy with bottom two pair. I'd say call and lead 1/2 to 2/3 on the...

Re: 400NL. JJ in a tough spot.
A check/call is weak but it might be the right play here. I think we can pretty much rule out a flush draw with no pair, since he is passive and can just check the turn to peel one off.

Re: 88 2nd pair value push
I think a timing read on the flop would be helpful here. If Villian has Qx he would probably think about your flop raise and then call. On the other hand, if he calls the flop raise immediately and...

Re: Is this an awful fold?
You're probably beat but this is an instacall. The odds are just too good. I'm more worried about [Ah Jh] or some other rivered hand than a set.

Re: 2/4 6m, PS, AA
A pot-sized raise on the turn would be $135 total ($115 on top of the original bet). Villian is drawing dead here a good amount of the time, and I'm a little worried that a pot-sized check raise will...
