Re: Poll: What goes through a fish\'s mind
I only started playing this year, so I guess I'm pretty close to being one.
I'll admit my thinking pattern when I first started.
Pre-flop
"Any 2 cards can win"
Aces, Kings, Queens, what's a...

Re: Pokerstars is frozen!
steve, try around 7:45PM EST for the $10+1 MTT.
I think you're just looking for tourny's at the wrong time.

Re: KJo in the BB, advice needed
Seems like a pretty big raise. Does he raise this much typically with garbage? I find KJ, is a border line hand, I typically raise with it when there's a lot of limpers, I'll call a PF raise for...

Re: Final Table ITM....Call This All-In??
Agree with above, a preflop raise with AJ -> AK probably would have happened short handed. Personally, I raise with A10 short handed, especially if everyone limps to me in the SB. Post flop, I...

I really don't like calling. Pushing any two is better than just calling IMO. The vast majority of the time, an any two push is causing this guy to fold and you've sent the message to...

This is really not that hard, especially early on. If he really is raising 100% of the time, and it's only a minraise, all he's done is doubled the stakes for each hand. You still have...

Re: Moving from Limit to NL
Maximum is 80 or 100 depending on where you go. I usually go for the maximum. The only time I don't, is when the table is just starting and everyone is buying in for 40 or 50.

Re: Open push from SB in level 5
Depends on the table, if it has tightened up enough that it gets folded to the blinds often, then I wait for the button so I can push and hopefully get enough for an extra orbit. If this is a rare...

Re: Early 99 hand
The bet seems pretty weak. 1/2 the pot. His preflop raise wasn't that big either. I'm thinking overcards. I raise him. If he had big pockets, In general I'd think he'd be a bit more aggressive.
