Also, now would be a good time to take all but your most minimal BR out of AP - I really don't think this ends well for them...

you really think they are going to go under or something? i mean I can understand how this will be bad for short term business, but it isn't like they are just going to up and steal people's money. They have too much money to make in the long term, and as the ineffectiveness of the UIGEA has shown people are going to keep playing poker whereever they can. Since AP/UB are two of the bigger sites still allowing US players (and maybe the easiest to deposit on) I seriously doubt they are going to just shutdown and eat your roll.

I couldnt agree more, but I feel kind of dumb having spent all this money and only dedicating about half my energy while the other half goes to poker.

Hero has Ks 9h (two pair, kings and nines).
CO has 4s 7s (flush, ace high).
Outcome: CO wins 13.25 BB. </font>

He has like 9 outs for the flush and 12 outs for all the straight draws he can make on the turn. You only have 4 outs on the flop. That's a standard equity raise for him. 74 also makes more straights so is a better starting hand. This is expert play and I suggest you move tables.

[/ QUOTE ]

to be honest i think he actually played it fine. he has both backdoor draws locked up on the flop, plus the bottom pair and 3rd pair outs may come in handy. y'know the motto: 10% equity is better than no equity. i just can't believe people actually are this advanced already at 10/20 (i thought only 50/100+ players were capable of villain's play here).

[/ QUOTE ]

Preflop is close. And unless button and SB are tight I wouldnt play it

Flop is spew unless there us some crazy dynamic going on between you two in which he can expect you to fold quite often when he 3-bets.

This is also spew at 100/200!

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh? Pre-flop is close? I was getting yelled at for defending too lightly in the BB, and I'd never think twice about defending with K9o. What am I missing?

Also, how is the flop spew? I can understand how you might say that the turn is spew, but the flop seems standard to me. Did you mean to say "turn"? Sorry for the strategy, but I'm confused...

Meh, unless you are going for BigLaw or something, not sure what anything above the bare minimum gets you...
