Re: Who are the best $215ers?
if you're looking for stevesbets he's very active at Stars at the 5k HU SNG's. I've watched him play and he doesn't impress me at all. In fact the play at these, during the ones I've scouted, is...

Heads Up Tourney Play
I"m looking to work on my heads up play so I decided to spend some time playing some heads up tourneys on Stars.
I'm actually pretty decent at HU normally as my win % is good in a 9 or 10 seater...

Re: How should I play KJ?
KJ is playable early if there are NO raises (which would mean you only play this in the top 1/2 if the game is really passive). You don't want to be in there with better hands, because this is...

Re: What does too many 4ths mean?
By itself, finishing 4th a lot isn't necessarily a bad thing. By playing well, you're going to reach this spot more. It's the ding dongs that go out early too much, by taking unnecessary risks.

Re: Seeking your opinion
I've got a "different" philosophy of raising than most. I don't want to go into any real detail here as this typically leads to multi-day arguments with the whole board, which I really don't have...

Re: blind defense - help!
I don't think a lot of players give enough thought to defense overall. I'm speaking of defense overall - in the sense that a bet or raise is "attacking" your cards whether you have any money in the...

Re: Too aggressive w/ 3 players?
I like this play myself. If he calls you down and wins, you've still got a decent shot at him. Since he just limped in, he probably doesn't have that strong of a hand. Make him pay for it.

Re: (With/Without a read) Is this a push?
Agree on the fold for sure. Too many hands that could dominate you.
I wonder about the raise here. You've got big stack on the button acting after you. I'm guessing he's pretty aggressive. In...

Re: Preparing to move up to $20+2s
IMO, People tend to be too cautious when it comes to "moving up". The reason is that they feel this is sone kind of committment. It isn't of course. If you're doing well, don't be afraid to take a...

Re: Relative Expected Value (Long)
I'm thinking about this some more and I need to clarify what I mean by a 3rd place average. I'm not talking about the average of a 1st, a 3rd, a 7th, etc. What I meant rather is - around 3rd place...

Re: Routine Fold?
This is pretty interesting stuff.
Keep in mind that the BB may fold here anyway. This will leave him another lap, which he's gotta make a stand. I'd be looking to have him isolate against one or...

Re: Relative Expected Value (Long)
It IS a good play in cash games, because most of the time I'll capture the pot, and I've got at least a small edge on a call.
I realize it's a bad play in this situation, that's the point of...

Relative Expected Value (Long)
I'm an addict. There I've said it. Wht I'm addicted to isn't drugs though, but rather short term expected value.
This is fine in cash play, and it's served me quite well in fact. At least in...

Re: What would you need to call here?
First off, the fact you're in the money already is meaningful. IF there were, say, 3 other opponents, you want to let them do battle and I'd want a lot stronger hand to join in.
Let's look at the...

Re: 0 for 16
Let me clarify this. I'm not saying PP SNG's are all about luck. What I am saying is that luck factors into it too much for my taste. I'm glad to hear that many are beating these games at a good...

Re: Calling all-ins on the bubble...
Here's my take on this, FWIW.
Hand 1: Especially on the bubble, suited connectors aren't the kind of hands you ever want to be calling an all-in with. I would just throw this hand away. A...

Re: Run from this Big Slick?
I agree. Why wouldn't you raise on the flop? At least go to 300. I wouldn't necessarily go all in here - the risk of him hitting his 2nd card isn't significant, although that indeed may have been...

Re: I Cannot Handle Paired Boards - Help Please
In hand 2, if you're fairly sure that your opponent isn't bluffing, then it's probably not a hand you want to be in. I wouldn't say it's an automatic fold, but you're probably beat here.
Hand 1 -...
