Re: Put all-in with AQsu
Sometimes when people take a big beat they'll tend to tilt and go aipf with a wider range than they usually would, and sometimes I'd call with AQs there (were you late position?) It's very...

Re: Improving my end game.
In the end game I generally tighten up. When it gets 4 handed you can't play connectors or suited anymore because you don't have odds. Those hands are for building up chips. As the blinds get...

Re: Improving my end game.
I guess it depends on how big the sng's are, but when it gets down to the end game and everyone has under 10BB it's all about stealing the blinds and being able to shove all in with a lot of...

Re: Eek. I have to fold here?
It depends on the stakes really, if these are small stakes I'll call since it's an unconnected low rainbow flop. Sometimes the first all-in will have 88/99 and try to push out AK/AQ that didn't hit....

Re: AA help
Your aces aren't always going to win, most of the time because someone will have hit a set much like this. There's not much you can do, except you have to play it carefully when the 4th straight...

Re: ps 100grand freeroll
I haven't done a freeroll in ages but like you said A7o here isn't uncommon. Are you on the bubble or anything? The best situation is villain has 55-22, worst situation is 77-AA, and everything...

Re: Maintaining profits
30 minutes is usually good for 30 hands of poker or so? I'd chalk it up to variance and not worry about it.

Re: I need a translation
Dry boards are generally unconnected rainbow boards that aren't likely to hit anyone in the hand. Generally these are good boards to bluff against as it's hard for opponents to call.
BBV is for...

Re: heads up driving me crazy (long)
At the lower limits if you keep up the aggression you'll have favorable results most of the time. You have to know when to back off of course since effective stacks are 30BB but aggression with your...

Re: heads up driving me crazy (long)
I think you're playing way too passively. You need to be raising more, and for the love of god stop minraising. In 100/200 I'm raising those A5 and A2 hands to 600. I think I saw one minraise and...

Re: odd event at table.
Misclicks happen all the time, and people have even started doing fake misclicks to get the same kind of action you just got here. It happens, don't worry about it.

Re: how does rake back works?
Some affiliates offer rakeback when you sign up, you would've had to enter a code on sign up and from there you get a percentage of all of your rake back. I'm not sure if you're eligible if you...

Re: Drawing Question
That's the general idea, correct. There are also implied odds, though. These are odds that you'll make a little bit more when villain bets the turn/river. This generally gives you a little more...

Re: Set Mining
I raise too occasionally, but ultimately it depends on who's in the pot already. If a shortstack has limped in I don't want to raise where I can't get 8x the bet if I hit my set. If villain is a...

Re: I don\'t know how to play a pair with a draw
The turn was dangerous for you and the villain gave you a free card, why didn't you take it? You also bet verrrry weak (240 into a 600 pot) which I sometimes do to induce a bluff, and thats what it...
