Re: smp posters, do you do well in poker?
I'm not an SMP poster but I have took to reading/lurking the forums very frequently in this past month.
I'm still learning to play poker right now. I'm only 21 and have been playing for just 2...

Re: 10NL - AKo gets bet into on the river
If he has a flush, you have to wonder how he got there with it. 5xd? If he has a weak ace and is bad enough to call preflop, flop & turn, then he's bad enough to value bet his weak ace here instead...

Re: Probable?
Those sorts of numbers are more typical of pair vs. pair statistics - with you holding the lower pair. What you are trying to tell us is almost the equivalent of "I have managed to get all-in with an...

Re: bottom 2 on scary board
I lead out for the pot and am happy to take it down here. I often check bottom two on a board like against 5 or 6 opponents but it certainly isn't to trap.
As played, it couldn't be an easier...

Re: Alternating Between Loose & Tight...Seamlessly
I agree with pzhon. In a cash game, I would say it is more important to play correctly. I let the cards switch gears for me. If you have raised 4 times in a row, it is a no-brainer that if you get AA...

Re: Poker leading to social isolation
I don't think that it is necessarily that way round. That is, I think that those who value their alone time are more likely to take to poker beyond a recreational level. Perhaps once you get to this...

Re: $16 limped 88 flop overpair
We really need to know what happens after the raise to make comment on what your next action should be.
As it happens, I don't like the raise in the first place here.
I prefer to fold this to a...

Re: you guys also make this call?? (15+1)
I'm definitely folding in BB's spot with 74o. I probably call with 66+, Kx, Ax & JT+. Much tighter is probably a mistake and any wider range and you're behind too often.

Re: 10$ sng TP
Without a read I say he check-raises all-in with an overpair, Axd, TT, KQ or a set. I don't think he has two pair or a straight here with the UTG preflop raise. I think we have to call here.

Re: BRUTAL- What are the odds?
My gut tells me that these ARE gonna be pretty long odds.
Player 1: Pr(Pocket pair)=13*(4C2/52C2)=1/17
Player 2: Pr(Different pocket pair)=12*(4C2/50C2)=72/1225
So odds of both starting with a...
