Ideally we would have clear rules uniformly enforced. Incidents like this one show up deficiencies in both the clarity of the rule, how the rulebook wording is publicized, and how enforcement. All...

Re: re-raise fold?

I'm over my head here but will add my 2 cents anyway.

Since you did not raise third, he may be putting you on a 3 flush plus 5's. Since the 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif is out, you cld even have...

Re: Non Poker Strategy Books to Read

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "The Biggest Game in Town". I'm blanking out on the author, an English writer and poker diletante writing about the WSOP and Vegas poker in the 1980's. Doyle...

Re: How do you decide who goes first once we see everyones 2 face card

Jetto says "Highest card" goes first. Not highest card, highest board, e.g., xx xx 3h 3d bets before xx xx As Th because pair higher than Ace high.

July thru October I had been doing nicely on Stars at $1/$2 Stud high, averaging about 4 BB/100. Then the bottom fell out in November. I've now dropped back to $.50/$1 and am slightly a loser there...

Re: Other games that help your poker playing?

How Do You Play this on the End?

Seat 7 is a respectable moderately aggressive player.

Do you bet the River? Do you call the raise?

Re: Rolled 8\'s in a Big Multi-Way Pot

I am a little surprised that Seat 7 didn't raise initially on 3rd -- but he did call a three-bet before the round was over. I really wish I had put in a raise on third & fourth -- I might well have...

Re: Rolled 8\'s in a Big Multi-Way Pot

The main lesson I take from this is to bet my trips aggressively early in this sort of pot with big cards out in several hands.

Seat 7 and Seat 2 both looked very threatening to me on 5th/ 6th --...

Rolled 8\'s in a Big Multi-Way Pot

Seat 7 is a loose player but not outrageously so. Seat 8 and Seat 1 are not very good. Seat 2 is an unknown.

On 3rd I didn't 3-bet thinking I wanted lots of people in the pot. But with so many...

What villain actually had was Qs Jc in the hole. Made Broadway on the river.

Lots of Decisions

On 4th, 7's 6's 8's 3's and 5's are all live; I'm last to act so thought it's worth seeing another card.

On 5th, I have an open-ended straight draw to go with my live 7's, so thought it's worth a...

Re: Versus Wild Man

Given this player's betting, he could have any random holding as his down cards. If my math is correct, that makes the likelihood that he hasn't got a five as a downcard about 85%.

In this hand I was against the same wild person as previously and another player unknown to me. On 5th St, the wild person evidently lost connection and was treated as all-in the rest of the way.
