Re: From today\'s Wall Street Journal

The legal ramifications of the skill v. luck debate is interesting.

Re: 22r.. A9o going for position...

A9o does not play well multiway. Lots of limpers is a good reason to fold and avoid marginal situations like this one.

($22) AK-weak?

What do you think of this? Here is my reasoning:

PF: I'm not excited about betting t300, possibly getting called, and having to play this in terrible position. A cheap limp disguises my hand...

Re: $11s - Practising post flop - wtf?

[ QUOTE ]
I'd check turn, just keep this pot as small as possible. As played I think I'd fold river. This line screams strength.

Yeah. I think he got lucky with a 6.

Re: A Look at Downswings and Unrealistic Expectation

Good post. Makes me feel like #$S& though. I'm still in that initial full tilt heater running at over 30% in 150 $22s. How am I going to win monies to tilt off in ring games if I go cold?

Re: Few Hands From 16 Turbo Tonight, Reduxe

1. Fold looks good.
2. Raise, but your line isnt terrible either.
3. Fold pf.
4. Fold. But this is interesting. I hate these minraises of my blind. They are giving me great odds to call...

Re: Decision speed

I think its almost irrelevent. It may marginally influence the decisions of mildly thoughtful weak-tight types that aren't aware enough to realise I am multitabling.

Re: $16 KK vs Ace on flop & 2 spades on flop

PF raise to 80-100.
Flop looks good.
Check turn. I like lead on non spade turn for a little more--t180. Here, you have to fold to re-raise.
River is easy fold.

Re: FTP33: KJ hand that evolved to nut FD - call this allin?

I would fold PF.
Check flop. With something like AJ+ I'm much more likely to fire at the flop.
Fold turn. You aren't getting odds. If you fold, you still have a very playable stack.

Re: $5.5 AKs hit flush draw on flop. Turn?

This doesn't make sense. You have position on villain and a check closes action.

If villain checks turn, clear check behind. If they bet the turn, its an odds question.

Read dependent. Is this a standard reraise? Could villain be trapping with an ace or something better on a 2 flush flop?

It looks like he is either a. stupid or b. has a monster

Re: $22s - Weird spot with shortie all-in and Hero\'s got legendary 32

Ill take a stab. Why so many chips? Is this a 2 table? Are you already ITM?

Re: $22s - I push over this shorty or not?

Pick a better spot. You are no better than 60-40 and its too early to force that flip.
