Re: Repeating losing hand - AQ

ATG,

1st hand your raise is too big. You have enough chips to raise 3x, see a flop and still have enough to play on. On Stars the antes are so small you are really risking a lot for a little...you...

Re: FTP $750K in the money

Even unknown players who may not be sick @ maths know because of the Harrington Vol 2 "Multiple Inflection Points" chapter that you are likely to be pushing really wide here. If they don't know the...

Re: Turn spot in the stars 320

I would check/call the turn, up to 2/3PSB. Semibluffing an A in a raised 3 way pot is unlikely to win. The player most likely to hold an A is UTG + 1 and you have good relative position on him. If he...

Re: Early hand Stars $320 vs Bill Ivey

I like a pot bet on this flop. If I get raised, I have to play poker...I don't have any reads on this villain but its pretty close between call & fold. I'm fine with the check/call on the turn....

Re: FD in Big Pots

Hand 1 is a final table, should have included this in the original post. I did not intend to shove preflop on one of the other big stacks. Although I do like the shove or fold options now that I...

FD in Big Pots

In both of these hands I flopped a flush draw in position. The pots were big enough that I am close to pot committed. I'm sure I really suck in these spots because I don't know why I'm doing what I'm...

Re: 100r Final Table: Calling Range vs 2 All Ins

I called with 77 here, feeling it was the low end of my range. The big stack on my right (Kwob) has been fairly active and keeping me somewhat cautious when stealing. The other big stack is Shannon...
