Re: PDT 2/2 : Why has tipping increased?

I'd say one factor would have to be the acceptance of the transitional phase between young adult and adult. Back in the day, lots of people went straight from high school in to a career-oriented...

Re: Moral dilemma/car dealership help? (a little long)

All,

Yeah, so I spoke with a couple of managers from other car dealerships this morning and they basically share the same sentiment as the board (not that I don't trust you guys, but I wanted...

Re: Moral dilemma/car dealership help? (a little long)

All,

There seems to be a lot of hostility toward car dealerships in general here. A lot of "F--- The Man" attitude, and I can atone for car dealerships screwing over other people by sticking it...

Re: Moral dilemma/car dealership help? (a little long)

So apparently you guys think the fact that I conveniently forgot to return their calls for two months or so is irrelevant?

edit: Not that I think that position is wrong. I'm in agreement. I...

Moral dilemma/car dealership help? (a little long)

So I traded in my Mazda in April to BMW to help finance a lease on a 335i. They gave me a pretty generous $12k on the trade. 12k was a little low compared to blue book, but since I am an...

An EDF Introspective: S.R.E.A.M.

This is a post I’ve had written in my head for a long time now. It started in my head as a rant, but it turns out that I’m really just very interested in the topic.

Basically, I want to explore...

Re: well that turn card sucks

I'm not saying that the nuts aren't a part of his range. Flushes are going to be a part of this guy's range. However, I do think that Villian would bet more on the turn with a flush (and certainly...

Re: A8o in the BB: Figuring out this Commitment Threshold/Planning thi

Why are you cool with making Villian make a $1 mistake when you could make him make a $21 or $41 or even bigger mistake.

Or even worse, what if he has another draw to go with it and he can...

Re: A8o in the BB: Figuring out this Commitment Threshold/Planning thi

It's pretty simple. Villian is playing to win $480 (the ~$360 left in PJ's stack + $120 in the pot). Villian has 8 outs versus 36 non-outs, so he is a 4.5:1 dog, or ~18% to hit on the river. The...

Re: A8o in the BB: Figuring out this Commitment Threshold/Planning thi

Better way to look at the situation:

"One of my opponents probably has spades. What do I have to bet such that he can never properly call the turn with spades, even if I call his push on a spade...

Re: 10/20 NL 6handed

I think you gotta call this flop, being in position and all. The goal here is to neuter him by repping quads (you would flat call here with 45s, no?). I'd probably fold if he continues on the turn,...

Re: Brand new to NL. - Is this standard?

Full pot it on the turn. Let him know you have a hand that is not to be trifled with. $.70 lets him draw to all sorts of hands. I'm betting $1.50 as the last money I'm putting in to this pot...
