Re: Another Draw situation
I'm guessing if this player was a loose gambooling type you would have said so in your post. Most 'decent' players pat bluff much less than they should. Don't bother with the game theory calling...

Re: 5 card Draw situation
If he's aggressive enough that you are uncertain about folding when he bets in a situation like this, you need to raise or fold AK, depending on how likely he is to fold the blind.
If you say he...

Re: Interesting 7CSFAP Fifth Street Play
Do any mid-stakes players on here regularly use this play? It may be a decent semibluff on 5th, but I can't imagine getting free cards on 6th often.
A check on 6th just screams "I'm not firing a...

Re: Problem how we view short term luck?
EV is meaningfull before you play that one session.
If you can add 10 +EV TD hands against a hit and runner to go with your 100,000 +EV HE hands, it's good.
It is meaningfull after the...

Problem how we view short term luck?
I don't play specifically TD HU, but I think this is a very relevant topic for any HU game where your EV is in some sense 'too small' with respect to your variance. Why does the aggressive hit 'n...

Pokerroom has 5 card draw....
...both fixed limit and pot limit. There's more low limit action right now than Paradise. Hopefully the 5/10 and 10/20 games will eventually get going, I kind of miss the game.

Re: TT, xxxKA, bet river?
Yeah plus I can't imagine he calls a river bet with a worse hand.
You don't think there are any J9s or 77s out there that will check behind but call a bet?

Re: Loose reraise PF? - 2/4 Razz
The only reason I'd raise this on 3rd is to punish a chronic stealer - a slight pause doesn't mean much online. Your raise commits you to 5th, but it's not the biggest mistake since you certainly...

You are letting your pseudo-game theory cloud your judgment here. You are in the situation of calling one bet to win two. You need to be the winner more than a 3rd of the time here. When SB limps...

The doorcard is extremely significant in Razz. If you have an A or 2 as a doorcard and there is only one low card left to act, nearly always steal with A2K. Steal sometimes with more than one low...

Re: drawing 4 or 5 in draw poker
I don't think there's anything wrong with drawing 4 or 5. Who cares if you are exposed? You aren't calling a bet unless you improve, and showing your weakness encourages unexperienced players (the...

Re: I just had my ass handed to me HU
No of course it's not a winning PF strategy.
I think you're giving up something if you never bet out on the flop. Sure he'll always bet so you can check-raise, but by betting out you can induce...
