My advice:
Treat the guy like a freakin' adult. Come on. Do you want someone else baby-sitting you? Lying to you?
If you aren't good enough friends with the guy to talk with him...

Re: Help with JJ in $200 Live MTT
I ended up raising to 2000. I was pretty confident that UTG+1, the original raiser, had a good hand so I didn't want to raise too high and get us pot committed. I wanted to make sure that SB, BB,...

My default thought is someone raising utg+1 with a limper has a hand more often then not. Any reads on utg? Does he ever limp in ep? Does utg+1 over raise often? If he does has he shown...

Help with JJ in $200 Live MTT
I never know what to do with JJ and I could use some help.
Last Friday night I played a live $200 MTT with 50 players.
The starting stack was 5,000. About half of the people had busted out.

Re: (1/2) A few hands from my session last night
Hand 1
I either fold or raise pre-flop depending on the opponent. I either want to get out of the way of a very tight opponent or thin the field.
Flop - this flop will hit at least a couple...

Re: 1/2 RR against my pf steal attempt, I hit TP
I do the same thing pre-flop.
I raise the flop to make the flush and straight draws pay. His flop bet can easily be a semi-bluff or a probe to see if you were stealing pre-flop and don't have...

I definitely raise the flop for value and to protect your hand from straight and flush draws. I don't understand the logic in calling. You are ahead here WAY more often than you are behind. You...

The editing could be better. It seems like there are 2-3 spelling or grammatical errors in every article.

If you are down 300bb why aren't you moving down a level?

Re: AJ - I keep betting
I'm surprised by some of the comments on this one.
I like the pre-flop raise. You are ahead of their range - both limped.
I like the c/b. If we weren't last to act and checked to then I...
