Re: River decision with set

I weighted his range too heavily to A3 and called; he had 55 for the rivered set. Hindsight said I should have considered a 3-bet, but I wanted non-results-oriented opinions.

Thanks for the...

Re: Winrate as a an indicator of when to move up

The problem with answering the question is that winrate takes soooo long to converge to any useful number. The reason people so often cite bankroll as a guide to moving up is that the combination of...

Re: what is a good estimated win-rate at any limit?

At micro stakes like 2-4 cent limit, a good player can win 30 cents per 100 hands. 100 hands takes about 2 hours at a micro full game, so 15 cents an hour would be an excellent winrate.

Re: Question about straddling?

Straddles are always double the big blind. Anything else is just a blind raise (without right of last action).

OP- in a NL ring game, a straddle effectively doubles the size of the game, as...

Re: turn action

Could he have 55, and think you would fold 88 and 99 to his line? His view of your range could well be 88, 99, JT. If he thinks you could find a fold with the sets, his play is optimal, no?

Re: AA and KK.

Re: 8/16 - 88 spikes set on turn

(quick reply)

99
A9s
AA
A8s/98s (0 or 1 combo each, depending on suits)

What else could he have? What are the chances of a TAGish SB raising a middle...

Re: X Post: Best 5/10 games in Vegas?

There is no 5/10 limit in Vegas. For NL, your only chances are the big rooms, as mentioned above.

If limit, 6/12 is hard to find, while 4/8 goes at many places in...

Re: Live 6/12: A9s-what stage of Zee development am I at?

The problem here is gap23 calculated odds as 13 outs, 23 misses. That's 36 cards, while the deck has 46. 33 to 13 against makes it much more clear that we don't have odds to cap. If BB is even...

Re: LIVE $3/6/12 vs. $3/6 and/or $4/8 -Experienced replies

Replies indicate chasing pays off better, since the implied odds are bigger. Since most 3/6 or 4/8 players chase too far anyway, it seems to make their natural style less wrong. Seems 4/8 would be...
