Re: Mark Cuban on Kobe
Cuban is not out of line, although I'm not sure he's correct on this one.
His point is not exactly novel though; 'any press is good press;. Also, Cuban is widely regarded as a marketing...

Re: what do you guys think of this?
Hi Tom. For those who don't know, Tom is a maniac at No Limit, so watch out!
Anyways...the worse an opponent is at taking advantage of positions, the less important post-flop play becomes. So,...

Re: What should I do?
Reraise. You've certainly got odds to put him all-in; but you don't want the big blind in the hand obviously.
J9 vs AA wins 16.46%
J9 vs AKs wins 33.46%
J9 vs A8o wins 42.29%
J9 vs 55 wins...

Re: Aggression vs aggression
I like the play, especially for the $20/40 at Paradise. Depends on the the competition for sure; against many players, I'd shut down on the turn and either bet or check-call depending on the river...

Re: what do you guys think of this?
The article applies to open-ended play. Not just HU, but any situation when the preflop raiser has position and raised 100% of the time, to steal the blinds (i.e. the raise is opening the preflop...

Re: Shorthanded at Foxwoods.
I'd say the weird looks were for your preflop reraise with AXo. I don't believe this hand is profitable except in the absolute rarest scenarios. Too often, you'll find yourself against a bigger Ace...

One of my favorite plays is to raise the turn with a medium strength hand, with the intention of checking the river unless I...

Re: Internet VS. B&M.....Which is easier to beat?
I agree completely with JoeyT. Two big differences due to the lack of speed at live play. First, you are far more apt to get bored. Second, your win rate is harder to duplicate if the game is just...

If you don't consider reverse implied odds, then every hand is playable b/c 3:1 odds is enough to play anything against a random raiser. NOT considering reverse implied odds (i.e. that your weak...

Re: Thanks for answering
To simplify, I conclude two things.
First, you are overvaluing the free card on the turn. If you raise and reraise enough on the flop, you will soon find yourself losing more money against a big...

Some B&M rooms will cap at 4 also. However, I'm not so sure it would have gone to 5 anyways.
If it did, that's really not worth that much to you...maybe a fraction of a bet. The only real...

Re: The 5max Anomaly...or is it?
I don't have a lot of time tonight, so I'll keep this real short.

Then...
