Re: Sunday Million: Defending vs. stop-and-go
The stop and go is one of the most difficult moves to defend against, partly due to not knowing if the villian is even capable of it. I would fold in this situation because there are too many ways...

Re: Wrong spot ?
Well, you definitely have less FE with this move than if you waited, because of your stack size compared to the size of the raise. You're hoping for a race. At this point, you gain a lot of EV by...

Re: What\'s the Difference?
Couple of questions for you:
Do you get more aggressive based on your M?
How often are you behind when you're not desperate?
Cash games aren't everything; the skills are important, but there...

Re: (10$) Good steal spot?
Do you mean is this a good steal spot for you or for him?
It's certainly acceptable for you, especially if you've seen the table acting passively and not defending blinds. This is almost...

Re: KK raised on flop, level 1
From what I can see, a solid player (which it probably is because of the buy in), would have AT, set of 6s, set of 5s, or possibly 65s. Aggressive players might believe that you're making a...

Okay, maybe I'm missing the whole point here, but I believe the main issue here is pot size control. This pot is HUGE after the raise on the flop. You need a big hand to play a...

Re: Final Table, 6 left, 55 utg

Have to disagree with most of the posts so far.
An M of 10 is not enough for this play IMO, if you raise to 20K and get repopped by a big stack, you have to fold. Even to a shortie, why...

Re: Button pushing range vs decent big blind
Me personally, when my M gets to 4 or below, I push whenever it's folded to me; the later the position, the better I feel about doing it. If you keep waiting for perfect hands, when you double up it...

Re: Getting 2-1 risking 1/2 your stack
The problem here is that you're about 2-1 against two over cards, and right now, that's probably the best you can hope for. You don't think the villain would play this way with 88 or better? Here,...

Hah, I didn't think you'd post if you won the hand. He played the hand very strangely, but he might have been trying to check raise the turn. You still can't fold.
