Re: The well: Isura
Isura, what do you do in this hand, and what is your overall plan? It may seem simple, but I'm interested to know your thoughts. Do you bet the flop?

Think of a hand in terms of equity on each street, and try to get the maximum money in when you have an equity advantage.

No Limit Poker My number one goal is to get my opponent to put as many chips as possible into the pot when I have the best hand.

Re: The well: Isura

As an addition to the book question, how much application do you think ToP still has to today's standards of play at ssnl/msnl. In other words, do you think it's outdated to any extent, considering legislation and all? [/ QUOTE ] TOP will never be outdated. It is basic poker concepts that apply to all games. However a rewrite would be nice, with more examples on no-limit holdem and pot limit omaha instead of limit holdem and razz/stud.

[ QUOTE ]
When you are playing against an unknown that usually plays with normal speed (i.e. not constantly almost timing out etc.), how do you interpret timing tells on default? What do you think when it takes him a long time to bet, raise or call etc.? [/ QUOTE ] Quick calls on the flop are usually weakish draws or medium 1 pair hands. Slow calls are usually big draws, sometimes monsters (thinking about raising). Taking time to bet/raise at small stakes usually means they are thinking how much to bet to extract. Players tend to just fire something quickly if they are bluffing.
