In limit holdem with a 2-3 blind structure, when in the small blind, is it ever correct to muck in lieu of completing?

Mathematically yes. Image wise no.

have you ever used any drug(not counting caffeine) to increase your edge in poker, or any other sort of gambling?

have you ever used any illegal drugs recreationally?

Ever consider incorporating your high EV strategies of seducing women into a book? Something along the lines of Lay'em for Advanced Playas.

i read an interesting post made by mr ratface where he asked if giving money (welfare) to the poor would be a -ve ev play. (something along those lines). anyways, i was thinking about it, and wouldnt giving the poor welfare be a +ve ev play instead of giving them nothing and letting them die off in the street? i mean, by giving them money, they are getting a place to live, meaning less of them on the streets. since streets have less homeless people, the average citizen will feel more comfortable leaving their home. take a downtown area for example. less homeless people = feeling of safety = more willingness to leave the home = more willingness to go into shops and spend money. so the money the governement is giving to these people is promoting the spend of money to others and keeping the city cleaner, meaning they can charge higher taxes. i guess u can see this as a sort of implied odds situation, wouldn't you say?

Without any cards having been exposed (live cards or mucked cards), and assuming you don't have ESP, would you ever fold a 9 high flush draw (four to the flush) on the flop in limit hold em'?

You don't need Sklansky for this. The 1 word answer is clearly "yes". You didn't specify that your hole cards were suited but I'll assume that you meant that since its obvious that there are times to fold a 9-high flushdraw on monotone flops.

Its easy enough to create a hypothetical situation where folding would be correct. Say the most insanely tight/passive player you've ever played against (1% PFR over thousands of hands) raises several limpers from the BB and the flop comes AKK with 2 of your suit and the SB leads and the BB raises.

That said you will very rarely if ever be folding a 4-flush on the flop in limit hold em. I can't remember ever doing it.

I still call in your hypothetical situation, 10000% of the time.

I guess you like drawing dead then.

This is ridiculous. You're basically BS-ing the "you don't have ESP" part of my post. There couldn't POSSIBLY be someone that you peg with such certainty as flopping a full house with such accuracy that you'd fold a flush draw. The more likely case is that your "reading" ability loses you a lot of money in the longrun.

Could a blackjack game be beaten where a push on 17 is a dealer win, if the rest of the rules of the game favored the player, the dealers made occasional mistakes, and counting did not bring heat?

1. What is your favorite poker game? (Yes/no is for lawyers)

2. You meet a room full of strangers named after poker games. Through magic you know each is the world's best at his or her namesake. Who do you respect the most?

I'll define who can best handicap horse races as the most intelligent. (The S.A.T thing is too pathetic, freeroll aside.) And if I can show that Sklansky has a horse racing conceptual error I get bonus points.

Miller? Sklansky? Malmuth?



This getting fun. I've already beaten Sklansky and made him
leave a thread in disgrace. In the same thread, I showed how Malmuth can't think. Not long later I revealed another Malmuth error. Ed Miller made this part of is book. Yet never credited me.

A great leader with access to a "Sklansky geek" would beat the hell out of a "Sklansky geek" with a great leader advisor.
