Re: Help with Odds calculation for craps...

First bet: 12 & 12. If you win, +14. If you lose, -24.

Re: Who are the smartest OOTERS?

IQ scores are useless without stating the test that was taken, its SD, and (for childhood tests) the age at which it was taken. Adult IQ tests are primarily SD-based and are frequently re-normed....

Re: Table selection

Re: Taxes and quitting while you\'re even.

There are two things going on here, but the result is the same in both cases.

Summary: lower AGI is better.

Re: When is the pot too big to fold.

When you've got trips but there's a possible straight and flush out -- I think the possibility of them bluffing the big hand will be at least 5%. I'd call a 20BB pot, even if I was sure that I was...

I've played about 8k hands there so far and i've never seen 3 .5/1 tables going full at the same time. It's usually only 1 table. And the rake saved calculator is pretty accurate.
