I minbet my first BB in a tournament to make people think I don't have a clue.

The next time I minbet is because I'm trying to trigger an agressive reaction and I think I have the actual nuts (as...

People never believe you would bet a flopped set, they'll call with just about...

Re: TKo\'s Hand of the Day: Playing Overcards Near SNG Bubble.

I'm thinking here that the size of the army corresponds to stack size. Not much you can do about misrepresenting that.

You would need to have superior weapons for your army to prevail, and while...

Re: preflop raise?

I think, after reading lo, these many Posts by Buzz, that if you're going to raise PF you want to do it with many hands, not just the strong ones. And sometimes ust limp the strong ones.

Re: Live 66 waffle

Thanks for the replies.

I did shove, and he called with 9T offsuit.

I think he thought I had what I had, and he was getting the right odds to call PF.

If that's the case, the 70% of the time...

Re: hero flops top set and gets check raised...did I extract the max?

too bad you can't check/minraise the turn. That would show him!...

Re: $5 Turbo Sattelite Bubble w/A8s

Sorry, I'm a bit confused.

You are UTG+1 and get called by UTG+1?

But in a satellite, I would be folding this every...
