my first NL hnad post...

So I've been dabbling in low stakes 6-max NL. I'm not sure if this hand is that interesting but here goes:

Re: Help me adjust to big blind gets the button limcash

So you want to tighten up in the SB by only playing your top 60% or so. Depending on your opponent's range from the SB you want to defend almost everything from the button (minimum top 80% against...

Is it worth it to post limit HU hands here?

It seems like every post is about HU NL or HU SNG (which I assume is also NL). Does anyone here play limit HU? If not which forum should I be bugging?

Re: Tanenbaum or Stox?

I wanted to thank Terry for responding to my comments and to reiterate that I think he (et al) wrote a solid book. I prefer Stox's book currently for the stakes and games I play at but I would have...

Re: theoretical hu question

I would have said 70/30 but not a big difference.

OK. I thought maybe you read the entire thread and were making a joke. No problem though.

Re: theoretical hu question

I'm not sure why WillyT thinks his equity needs to be higher than 2/3 on the flop given the opponent? On the flop to river you are getting 1/2.8 for a call down so winning a little more than 1 in 3...

Re: Quick Question about WPEX...

Thanks for the responses. I'll just deposit rather than chip dump. I also hope the bot guy comment was meant in jest.

Re: Tanenbaum or Stox?

Stox's hand ranges are based on a more disciplined approach to the game. I wouldn't call his recommendations particularly tight as you will approach the 30/20 game that is recommended here on 2+2...

Quick Question about WPEX...

I doubt this is the right forum but I couldn't decide which one was.

My question is can you do peer to peer transfers on WPEX?

Thanks in advance,

Re: YertleTurtle is possible bot

If my winrate at 30/60 was positive long-term I would be happy but since I doubt I can beat that limit long-term I doubt even more that I could build a bot to do so.

I really appreciate you apologizing. You aren't the only one to make these statements as there are similar things voiced on the stoxpoker website. When I read the post on winholdem I...

hey -

just a quick note here to say that I am not the poster on the winholdem forum. I post on Stox poker and someone brought this to my attention. If you are interested in reading more about it...

Re: stoxtrader quit poker for stoxpoker?

This is pretty funny stuff - if you go to the site you see twenty or 30 new posts a day and most of them by the four major owners. I think they would be happy with 50k a month at this point.

Re: Do you think bots are cheating?

I only wish I could play more tables live where the real fish live. As for bots - I'd like to think that I can beat most of them and if I can't its simply a matter of game selection like with any...

I don't think soft games are disappearing in SF. I played in a soft 20/40 game last week.

Re: Question about table selection (more specifically pokerstars 10/20

God I hope that regulars don't toss 65% of their BBs versus a button raise. I guess I'm used to regular meaning "good" and sitting to their right meaning "getting 3-bet all day long". I definitely...

Re: Question about table selection (more specifically pokerstars 10/20

I would spend more time on seat selection against regulars. Put three regulars to my right and I'll play all day - to my left and I'll leave.

Re: K5o trips+flushdraw, lots of action

Although your hot-cold equity is good enough to call with an unsuited king I think you have to toss a bunch for playability reasons unless you only have a bet or two left. I'll go K7o or K2s.

Re: those who do, do.... those who can\'t teach

Most good NL players I know started in limit and most NL players I know who tried to pick up limit really suck. Not statistically significant but anecdotically interesting.

Re: two pair on da turn

I don't think I can ever fold here. I'll let him show me AA, AT or TT. Where I can fold is preflop.

Re: semi bluff question

Re: Q7s MONSTER hand

I'm still with Stox here. Against a player who is capable of folding AA-KK to a 3-bet you are losing value. You are losing value against an opponent who will bluff bet a missed draw on the river. ...
