Re: MLB props.......

I think if you bet all the dogs for the series all the way through you'll come out ahead. Its worked well the past few years. Last year, the dog won EVERY SERIES. The teams are just too close...

Re: Varying your Game - Mason

Before I say this, understand that I believe Essays II is a terrific book written by a great logical thinker.

I think Mason's puts too much emphasis on varying your play without qualifying it.

Re: Please use the PM feature for personal communication NM

You would have garnered more agreements if you did not feel the need to blast him. You're insulting someone (with your tone, whether you meant or not) who is very well liked for good reason. I did...

I disagree

Hey Majorkong, I wasn't going to post in this thread because of the nature of the original post (personally insulting) and because I posted something similar (without any insults) on the B&M forum. ...

That was a terrific post

Thank you very much, Mike. I will take your reasoning to every future discussion in which I slightly disagree with HPFAP. Hopefully, this reasoning will somehow be included in all similar...

Re: Interesting floor decision

That's not right, Dynasty, and based on another recent post of yours, you know that. Just like your steal situation with the Q3, because the button was in a position which required a post and looked...

Re: Bellagio 30-60: TT isn\'t challenging unless overcards come

Very nice hand, Dynasty.

I think the single biggest mistake I see regularly is failure to bet the river with the best hand when that hand is not too big. Yeah, of course anyone with a better hand...

Re: Borgata Poker Room

I know the new room manager there, Stan. Using only that info, the room will be a real bust and never compete with the Taj.

They are having a WPT event later this year. My friend Jimmy...

Re: I disagree

Hi Elysium,

Quick question: Do you play with players that EVER fold 55 on the river in this situation?

I don't know that I've ever seen one.

Re: Calling Bluffs With Game Theory according to Theory of Poker

You're missing something. You would want to call 5 out of 6 times only if your opponent was also playing correctly based on game theory, that is he will bluff 1 in 6 times. In real life, an...

Re: Hand to Discuss

You seem to be under the impression that an opponent who will raise UTG with KJ and then bet the flop into a 3 better after a total whiff will lay down his hand for 1 small bet if I raise the flop. ...

Re: loose/wild 10-20 hand

"As far as wanting everyone to fold, well no. but 5 callers is a lot. The implied collusion is powerful against the ladies."

From the sims I've run, QQ does best against 4-5 callers.

So far everyone\'s wrong

You want him to fold. You want hands like 77, duplicate kings and aces (once one king or ace calls, you'd like anyone holding one to call), and any offsuit undercard hands to call.

Elysium is...

Re: loose/wild 10-20 hand

You had a tough hand, you know it, and I don't think you played it that bad (If I bet the flop and no one raises, I bet the turn). The thinking that is evidenced in your post, however, makes no...

Re: Two hands - raised on the turn HU w/ top pair or better

The problem with posting hands is that you just can't get all of the pertinent info into a post. I never doubt anyone's read. They were there, I wasn't. I just try to go off the info provided as I...

Re: Two hands - raised on the turn HU w/ top pair or better

It wasn't clear to me from your original post that this fellow did a lot of turn semi-bluffing when it was obvious his opponent had a hand. You said he played well post flop. That's why I wanted to...

Re: Two hands - raised on the turn HU w/ top pair or better

I didn't see this info before I posted. Can I change my answer? I would get to the showdown as quickly and cheaply as possible with both hands. I would still request the seat change.

Re: Two hands - raised on the turn HU w/ top pair or better

Hand 1
I would fold preflop and request a seat change.
On the turn, I would call and fold on river if unimproved. I would expect him to check behind with almost all weaker hands.

Hand 2
I...

Re: 15-30 Hand at Taj

Please note that the only hand he could hold that beats me on the river is 4 jacks. I lost to quads once, I think.

Re: JJ, scary flop, out of position

Pre-flop you said, "I have a big pair."
They said, "I can't beat a big pair, but I'll call because I have the odds to outflop you."
You made money.
