Re: Online Poker 2006 = Daytrading Stocks 1999

Re: Ugly river push 200nl

Only got 20 hands on v, he is 20/11.
Is your standard play to raise a dry flop as this one vs PFR ? I'm thinking I shouldn't mind SB coming in.

Re: LARGE gaybet on turn scare card...
The flop raise is all wrong, you're giving him a great price to draw. Make it at least 30. On the turn, I don't see much you're beating, 1.5:1 odds can't be very attractive here. Maybe someone with...
