Re: Poker clocks/timers
I use an old version of "DD Tournament Poker" which has a "Poker Night" module. I think I got it at Walmart in the cut-rate bin for like $5.

Re: PokerStars Holdem SnGs down
Here's what I got when I requested a tournament history. Looks pretty fair to me, and I appreciate Stars' efforts.

Re: PokerStars Holdem SnGs down
Any of you techies have any clue as to why FT and Stars would both be down other than the most obvious possibility that some type of IP banning is going on?
Could this be a hacker attack?

Re: Play advice?

Re: Turbo Tournament Structure?
I agree that 7 mins is too short for a live game.
We use 25 mins for freeze-out and rebuy tourneys and 15 mins for turbos. Turbos and rebuys start with 1200 chips, freezeouts start with 2000. ...

Re: 88 in LP hits set and lots of flop action

I would have played it the same way you did.
Both players are very loose, so could have a wide variety of hands - only a couple of which beat you.
UTG+1 could have AT - JT and...

#1 - I would raise with the suited ones, but limp with the KQ.
#2 - I'm probably limping unless I am pretty sure that the players behind me will not cold-call my raise without a big hand. If...

Re: 2-pair and a set..
Hand 1:
Pre-flop is a questionable call. My rule of thumb for small pairs from MP is if any of the players to act after me show high PFR percentage, then I am folding. If not, then I call.
