Bluff the river here?

Live $100 tourney, effective stacks > 100BB. All decent players, Villain and I are the ones who have played the least hands so far, and we have no prior history.

Your hand only starts looking good on 5th with hi and lo draws, but you're trailing his board.

Final table decision - chip EV vs. money EV?

Live $20 tourney, 41 runners, 7 remaining, 5 places pay. 5th pays $40 and creeping into the money isn't on the agenda. Blinds are 2000/4000, average stack is around 27000. I have 19000 behind...

50NL suitable spot for set-mining?

I'm expecting the answer to be "yes", but I don't like the fact it's an EP raise, plus the prospect of a re-raise behind. Table stats are <20% VPIP but it's too early to have any info on UTG+1. Are...

Re: JJ - preflop decision.

Is UTG an habitual limper or is he the type to limp/reraise with AA or KK?

The raise is around 1/4 of your stack, you're close to committed if you play, so it's push or fold. You could be up...

Would you stand up after tripling up?

Would you leave a cash game early if your stack got "too big"? This question is partly prompted by reports of Chris Ferguson's bankroll management scheme, whereby he just turned $0 in $10K (I...
