Re: Straddling before the cards are dealt

It's not a "rake", it's a "drop". We're not allowed to have an interest in the size of the pot.

Some rooms in the Bay Area still only have $4 drop, and still only if there's a flop.

I started this hand with $210, in the CO. Villain has $115 in MP.

Re: Worst acts of banroll management you have ever seen....

Me, hitting an ATM in a casino and chasing poker loses at a blackjack table in the same day. Martingale can't lose, DUCY?

Re: Cheaters, drunks, hand lotion, tissues: Long TR + Cliff Notes

The last time I pointed out to a player next to me that I could see his hole cards when he looked at them, half the table acted like I was trying to cheat.

Re: Short stack question

I thought this was probably a leak I have, and now I'm positive. If I don't plan on rebuying there's no reason for me to stay at a table with less than about 10BBs.
Thanks for reassuring that for...

Live 3/6 KTs hand

Typical LP game with one exception. Villian to my immediate right is too loose preflop, but somewhat TAGish postflop.
