Re: BG books for beginners

I think some of the advice is a bit dated, but Backgammon: The Cruelest Game was a really good read for me.

Re: 2-7 Single Draw NL

Is this still primarily a 2+2 tourney? I played a few times in it, and was looking to again, but I wasn't sure if it was open or still just for 2+2ers.

Re: Backgammon strategy software

This is a bit off topic, but I've heard rumblings from somewhere (I can't honestly recall where) that GNU Backgammon isn't as good as Snowie or Jellyfish, especially for evaluating and playing...

Re: Backgammon book?

Check out http://www.thegammonpress.com/ for a huge list of books. Also, judging by Robertie's track record in tournaments, I think you can depend on him for good advice.

Party 1/2 LO8: Standard, or did I miss something?

No real reads on anyone at the table, as I haven't been there too long. Just your typical 1/2 Party LO8 players. Once again, rip into me as you see fit.

1/2 LO8 - Missed Value Bet, or Got Lucky?

Hey guys, I've been trying to learn LO8 lately, and it's been somewhat rocky. This last hand I felt rather lost, but let me try and explain my reasoning... (Also, sorry for the pokerhand link, but...

Re: Online 5-10...Three-way blind steal tussle with 88.

D'oh, I didn't read the post right first time. I'm surprised with calling two from the BB, but I like the rest of the hand. Your flop raise puts the most pressure on the CO to fold, and further...

Re: Bottom trips...worth capping? 1/2 LO8

I'm still a relative O8 beginner, but I would cap it on the flop for sure. You have trips and a backdoor draw to the nut low with counterfeit protection. The turn I'm not so sure about.

Re: PP 5/10: AJs in MP2. Standard or too weak?

Lay it down PF without a read on MP1, but the rest looks good.

Re: 2nd Pair vs button PFR (2-4)

Thanks for your responses, I didn't even think about fold equity and isolating the button. D'oh.

Re: turn plan, 4 flush board (10/20)

I think it's C/F from this point out. UTG+2 calling the flop is bad news, especially seeing that diamond come out.

Re: 2nd Pair vs button PFR (2-4)

You guys are all okay with the 3-betting PF? I like the rest of the hand, but what about a call C/R the flop?

I don't know about the PF 3-bet from the SB, although I do see its merits. I think...

Re: Does pot size justify this line of play? What\'s the read on the S

I really don't like the flop raise and then call of the cap. The turn is also really bad. There's about nothing you're ahead of here - you're going to be up against two pair, a set, and a straight...

Re: 2/4 party - 66 hits set.

On the flop I think I like just betting right out. There's 6 players in the pot, you're not going to lose them all.

The rest I like.

Re: Sometimes I just do stuff.... QQ, 5/10

I think you might have saved some money 3-betting the flop and getting a better idea where you're at. Otherwise I think you played it fine.

Re: Good bluff, or just spew?

I think that's total spewing, and if you won, you got lucky.

Re: TT in SB, please tell me why I suck

I don't think the PF 3-bet is a good idea. With that much money in the pot already I don't think you can eliminate many limpers, if any.

I'd be tempted to try for a C/R on the flop, but that...

Re: 2/4 3 JQ TP 3 bet flop against aggressive opponent

First off, I don't like your cold-call here. You have a very marginal hand, and you aren't guranteed that this will be a multiway pot. That being said, I think the flop's fine, and I like the turn....

Re: Party 5/10 spew fest, part II.

3-bet that flop. It'd be standard for him to raise you here with almost any J, and even a FD.

3-bet the turn, and check-call if he caps it.

Re: 2/4 - Good induced bluff, or costly free card?

I think it's okay. Since you checked the turn you should call the river to keep him honest. And, if you had bet the turn, it'd be good to check through behind on the river.

Re: 55 Family Pot 2/4 crypto

I don't really like the limp re-raise there. The hand is multiway, which is nice for you, but low pairs like that make most of their money on the flop and beyond. You're investing unnecessary bets...

Re: Omaha Hi-Lo 15/30 Hand, Scoop 30 Big Bets!

Nice. These are the kinds of hands that really make O8B worth learning.
