Re: How come white girls don\'t date Asian guys?

Re: What poker books would you like to see?
-A HOH caliber book written by a LAG player.
-A book on limit O/8. The stuff that's out there is just not that good.
-A book on 6 max play. I'm really surprised this hasn't been done yet. ...

Re: a different sort of play with KK

A push is not that much of an overbet. I don't think it was a bad play. A push looks weaker, but people may be less willing to commit. Also KK is not the nuts. It is only 2-1 against AQs. ...

Re: Jacks out of position
Raise a LOT more preflop. You are just begging your opponents to outflop you. Given that you are out of position, I'd raise to 600-800 preflop.
As played, check-fold the turn. What hands are...

Re: Call Here for Set Value?
I don't think either of their stacks are big enough to be playing this for set value, even if you can guarantee that all three of you get it all in when you do flop a set. I'd fold this.
