Re: Carpal \\\'Tunnel Post: iStrong\'s video tutorials, you\'re the Hero.

iStrong,

If you could make one more spot I would sure appreciate it. I just lost 6 more buyins tonight, and am down quite a bit. I can't seem to make a winning move and sustain my momentum.

Re: Online poker legality in Canada/UK

In Canada if it is your only source of income, it is taxable.

Comes down to expectation of profit.

Re: 50NL - Full Ring - TT Hand, Overpair

Sounds like a fairly aggressive group here.

Given that this is 50NL, limper put in 0.50 plus the 0.75 from the blinds, what do you put in as a riase? 2.50, 3.00, 3.50?

Re: How do you play sets on a wet board HU OOP?

I think that a 1/2 pot bet into the PFRer will help you build your pot. It could also be looked at as you trying to price your own draw. If you get raised, then I like to call and then C/R the...

Re: Am I overplaying Aces ?

In the first hand I would think that you should lead the flop here. After that I think that the hand plays very differently.

Second hand I think that the River bet is very scary, and call / fold...

Re: playing one table of SSNL

If you are really going to 8 table (I do when clearing Bonuses - which is almost all of the time). Get a third monitor. That way you have your 8 tables with no overlap, plus you can have your Poker...

50NL - Full Ring - KK Hand, lots of turn action

Here is an intersting hand from a session today. I was a little concerned on the turn raise.

Thoughts?

What do you put the villan on. His stats were ~ 40/10/2.5 over 30 hands.

Re: Thread A: read ONLY thread A or B

I don't play this hand in full ring from UTG. Mostly because I don't like to play top pair hands from out of position.

Given how this plays I would put in a $10 blocking bet on the river, then...

Re: 200NL...Feeling lost with AQ

I am by no means good, and I too struggle with these types of hands....here are my thoughts.

You lost position, that is the key for this hand to me. When I am raising preflop I have two goals, 1...

Re: ATo, standard?

I think that this is standard. However, like another poster mentioned, I don't know if I play this hand at all. ATs I will but ATo, after a limper, likely not.

However, I am tighter than most,...

Re: I hate poker.

[ QUOTE ]

So in summary, the passive strategy of calling his third raise on the flop and calling on the turn loses
less than the aggressive strategy of pushing the flop. The reason is it allows...

Re: 6 max preflop

I am interested in this as well.

I tried out 6-max for the first time last night, was playing Party 25NL 6-Max.

I think once when I raised PF I got called. AA, AK (a bunch of times), KK, QQ,...

Re: Folding top 2p?

What I am getting at is that in the 1/2 NL live games I play, people WAY WAY WAY overvalue TPTK, 2 Pair and Sets. If you can hit a straight (nut straight with JT) or flush, your implied odds are...

Re: Folding top 2p?

He put in a pot sized raise...are you suggesting a push?

I like the way it played.

In these games, I like the preflop call, and I am a tight - nitty - weaky.

Re: AA facing turn raise - 50NL

I don't know why your betting more on the turn. Your bet makes it 7:19 or 1:2.7 odds. The implied odds may be there, but you have effectively made any drawing had questionable. That is what you...

Iam not going to comment on preflop. I don't know if it was good or bad play there. But I likely play it the same preflop (which could very well be wrong).

I don't know, I am smelling a set or two pair here quite often. I think that villan is trying to take the pot down now with with the club draw on the board.

Re: .50/1 - Folded Full House - Please Grill Me

The only thing I can agree with is the preflop completing the SB, provided there were multiple limpers.
