Re: The Psychology of Poker (Stud Hi) example
This is a moronic example on many levels. First of all, how did 9 BBs get into the pot by fifth and you're head up? Second, if you call to the river and she bets you'd be getting 13-1 on a call....

Re: Rolled up
With a queen out, why can't raiser have a pocket pair instead of split queens? I'd be really unlikely to fold trips here.

Re: Razz with Queen\'s wild (lc)
It wasn't done in a mean spirited way and he didn't take it that way -- he stayed at the table for almost an hour more. Remember, this is 1-2 limit HORSE. While everyone is trying to win, it's mainly...

Re: Razz with Queen\'s wild (lc)
Yeah, it was obvious he thought it was a high game and (probably) that his queen really was wild. I didn't say anything else during the hand, but immediately after I did tell him razz is a lowball...

Re: Razz with Queen\'s wild (lc)
Umm guys, I wasn't being serious with the Queens wild thing -- he asked the question as a queen hit his board. While I wasn't going to explain the rules to him in the middle of the hand, and advise...

Re: (stud8) misplayed hi-only hand?
The raise on fifth is the only thing I might do differently. I'm not too worried about trip 5s with one dead, he may well have just a four card low here (maybe with a straight draw). These are the...

Re: NL50 - Full House on Board - Facing Shove

Razz with Queen\'s wild (lc)
So I'm playing a little 1-2 HORSE last night and we get to Razz. I have a 7 in 5 cards against a player on my immediate left who has 28Q. He chats "what is this game" and I say it's "Queens wild". He...

Re: your view on low 3 card flushes in stud
loose game, 1 or less of my suit dead, last to act in an unraised pot, I always play.
Tight game, 3 or more of my suit dead, first to act I never play.
In between the two, it's always a...

Re: Villain open shove flops in 3bet pot
Andy, there are no standard lines. When an unknown opponent pushes this big, and the pot is relatively small compared to the bet size, you must think. It's important to play situations like this...

Re: Villain open shove flops in 3bet pot
I don't always fold in situations "like this". Just saying the action, the cards and the bet size in the specific hand make this one a fold for me. Your stats-based approach is very powerful, but...

Re: Villain open shove flops in 3bet pot
Fair enough, and I totally agree that you have to factor in the donk factor. But this hand is pretty different. If he has a set of 4s or 5s, or 45, I tip my cap. A set of kings? I think he reraises...

Sigh. But who is "they"? Would you play the hand this way? Do 90% of the players you play against play this way? 60%? You really think most players that will call a $16 raise with 77 or A5 preflop...

Re: Villain open shove flops in 3bet pot
It seems like the consensus is "omg, I have Kings, I call". Or maybe "rofl, other players are all maniacs, I call".
Or is there a level of actual thought I'm missing here?
