Re: $4/180 - Final heads up hand

I think everything is standard until the river (heads up is all about the player, so only you know if your flop / turn call is good). Your river bet as a bluff is fine. Once he c/r you, I would...

Re: The Life Cycle of a Poker Player (and my thoughts on live vs onlin

I totally can relate to the stress that is associated with poker. However, I do not understand why online poker is so much more stressful to me than live. I swear, I am much more anxious, nervous...

Re: sweet angle

I do this all the time, particularly if I want the dealer to count my chips for me (so that I don't give something off). No one's ever forced me to bet my chips when I've done this; can they?

Re: very strange live spread limit hand

I think sb very rarely has a K here (<10%). Why would a good player risk a K getting checked through on the river without getting value in this enormous pot. Is the river bet worth it to try to push...

Re: rounders - AA999 v. AAA99

For one thing, betting 2x pot is standard in that movie on most streets. And 10x preflop raises with KK heads up. And 3 bets to 5x reraises etc. KGB reraises Mikes 1000 bet (with KK) to 5000.

Re: Taj floor decision 2/5 nl

In a lot of places a raise is possible if the previous raise was >= 1/2 of the first raise. Here russian raises 63 to 198 which is >= (125/2 = 62.5), and hence a raise should be allowed under these...
