Re: Benifits of the straddle

This is so true. Also, most people just can't help limping into straddled pots. They see all that money on the table and can't wait to get in there. This leaves a lot of room to pick up extra dead...

Re: Cheating from the \"Blind\"

I know it seems so obvious. I just wasn't able to find anything about braille readers being able to cheat this way. Just wanted some input so that I could feel like I am not being too paranoid!...

Re: Cheating from the \"Blind\"

It has seemed to affect his win rate...although this could just be variance with him running lucky. I guess it was just the idea that I may have been cheated. I have never played in a game where I...

Re: Cash game problems

I haven't read all of the replies, but the few I did read seem to be moving away from the original question.

Re: Buying my first set of poker chips

Basically, you have to buy what you like, but at the same time consider what the other players in you game will like. Personally, I hate chips with preprinted denominations on them.

Re: 2-7 Rule in NL10 Cashgame

Saw it on High Stakes Poker as well. We tried it in our last home session and guess what happened...no one was dealt 72 all night. This was the funniest thing to watch. People were always thinking...

Re: Dealers choice 1/2 blinds, NL

I agree with the previous posters. Omaha is a good choice if you have a good solid foundation in that game. Play strong hands and get your money in good. That said, I would like to add that you have...

Re: Good structure for a 20ppl hometourney?

Just my humble opinion, but I don't see this tourney lasting until the last levels. Personally, I would determine how long I wanted the tourney to last. After that, I would adjust the blind lenghts...
