Re: late in $150, A8 on SB
This looks close. First of all, the A8 being suited or not is quite relevant, as suitedness will add 4% to your equity against his likely calling range if you push. Those 4% *when* called are an...

Re: Stars $320: FT facing all-in w/ AJs
It sure feels tough to fold a semi-premium hand against the other short stack at the final table, but I still think this is a close fold. General tournament theory, and particularly as a short (yet...

Settle this No-Limit dispute
Live-game, blinds $30 and $30. UTG and "Z" in this hand are both fairly thinking, yet not expert players and a little bit on the loose/gambling side.
UTG limps, another player limps, "Z" limps, I...

Re: It Doesn\'t Always Depend
I am sorry if this has been touched onto already, but even the preflop thinking is flawed:
"Two players fold. The next two limp. You are next with pocket sevens. First question is what’s your...

Re: $109 88 w/ 14 left: Preflop
I am not pushing here for nearly 17bb. In such case, I would rather open-raise and call a push, giving 77-22 a chance to get into a real crappy spot.
I am raising this to 4800 or even in this...

Re: Button pushing range vs decent big blind
Assuming SB calls 14% of his hands and big blind 28%, you are getting called here 38% of the time, meaning you take down 1200 chips 62% of the time (62% of the time, you EV is +1200 chips).

Re: Nightly 150 88 vs. an early position push
AQs+, 99+ is slightly too tight. More like AQo+ (with AJs and KQs as well) and 88+, I guess, but any worse than that is just trying to take the worst of it with eight random hands behind you.

Re: Nightly 150 88 vs. an early position push
This is probably a bit tightish 9-handed with 9bbs and 0.5bb in antes, but not far from correct.
Throw in AQo and take away the blinds, and it should be about correct.
Giving hero a pretty...

Re: AQo with a Q exposed
It's not about playing JJ for a set. It's about the insane added value the sets add to JJ when playing the hand 500 times.
If both kings were taken out of the deck every time you got dealt K-K,...

Re: 200-400 Hand.
I agree upon closer reflection that my estimated opening range *for the typical player in this game* should be looser than this.
To include hands I would open myself from this position, QTs+, JTs,...

Re: 200-400 Hand.
Scott,
A two-outer on the flop is about 9% of hitting either the turn or river, so the backdoor draws are nowhere near a 3 1/2 outer, despite of course the obvious difference that a two-outer will...
