Re: i flop middle set str8 and flush draws are out. you play it

Re: i flop middle set str8 and flush draws are out. you play it

LOL. A min-raise might be fun (i.e. not as horrid as usual). It compels the button to fold even if he has a flush draw b/c he doesn't want to get caught between you and the original bettor in a...

Re: What you think about this theory of mine

Your original presumption is way way way off.

Anyone who thinks they are getting 12:1 when you have 1K and the villain moves in for 12K is obviously not thinking. You can only win the 1K. You are...

Villain is CO and this is his 4th hand at the table. No reads yet. He has ~$12.00 behind after his flop check/raise.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***

Forgive me, but this makes no sense to me.

The probabilities ought to be additive.

That is, if his chance of winning a single 180-person MTT is 1/180, he chances of winning 1 of 2 180-person...
