Re: What\'s the best one-liner you\'ve heard?

The best one liner I heard, was to say the least, very vulgar, but I'll do my best to explain what happened.

Re: Starting hands: Article contrary to the \"Book\"

Re: Amazing luck?

It's no different than watching a person win a jackpot on a slot machine. In most cases these players are only getting a very small percentage of their money back that they've blown away over the...

Re: Help a Semi-Beginner with Continuing his Hold \'Em Studies

As far as the Carson book, I haven't read it, but there's many other books worth buying before that one. Caro's book of Tells should be on your list as a beginner.

Re: Help a Semi-Beginner with Continuing his Hold \'Em Studies

After reading Jone's book, Theory of Poker should be next. I'd recommend Theory of Poker as your first book, but that suggestion didn't fly to well on here. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Not sure what you were trying to accomplish in this pot since winning it wasn't ever going to happen.

Re: Possible explanation for river check.

He bets on the river....Flush draw folds and he gets a crying call from MP with A,Q or A,K.

Re: Overcall on river with second pair?

Checking on the river was reasonable....but folding to a bet was a mistake. You had a clear call on the end.

Re: AJ with A on the flop

I would have limped and mucked on the raise. A,J is not the best holding in this situation in my opinion. Very easy to put one of the players on A,K or A,Q here.

I would have played it the same way in that situation. He wins check/check.....Those are the hands that will drive you nuts.

Re: \"Theory of Poker \" extrapolations?

" Sounds to me like we need two or three threads or forums:
1. Hand Reading, 2. Odds of Winning, 3. Deceptive Plays "

Not a bad idea !

Couple of things here. If you think that by taking notes will improve your play ( which should)...then why not do it ?
