Online tell or
simply a betting pattern?

What I did
After my break I re-bought to get my stack to where it had been when I started.
During the break, I decided that the losses were due to variance and over-aggressiveness on the turn and river when...

Adjust, hang tough or leave
I sat at an aggressive $1/$2 5-max table last night.
Fold, fold while I waited for cards and tried to get a sense of what hands these folks were pounding.
I finally got some cards and...

Re: Calling down with second pair
I didn't say or think it was a brilliant call. I thought it was very marginal and just happened to work.
I think it is important to be able to play these marginal situations, especially when the...

Re: Calling down with second pair
The board is Ac8d2s, yet you mention that you put your opponents on draws. There are no draws with a board like this.
I said I put PTL on a draw. I'm not so sure about his cards right now, but if...

All I can say is these were two of the lamest players I've...

I think you just have the wrong philosophy. When I raise my AA or KK pre-flop and nobody folds, I'm absoltely giddy. The best possible situation to be in is to hold AA in a family pot which gets...

Dealing with gluey players.
That’s what I call “calling stations”, the ones that won’t get off a hand. I just don’t know what to do. I bet into them pre-flop and post and they won’t move. Then I end up feeding the pot and...

Hannibal Lecter, poker player?
Would Hannibal Lecter be a good poker player? Why, why not.
Would you play heads-up with him in a private “home” game? Why, why not.
Just for grins, obviously. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
