Good No-Limit Book?
My name is Avarice, and I suck at No Limit Hold'em.
However, this affliction could possibly remedied as I have a voracious appetite for information. If any of you have read a good book on NL or...

Re: Painless poker
Given your read in this situation, would you have called a bet if the river had been an Ace?

A fishy epiphany
I sat down at a 6-max 5/10 table last night, and was pleased to find a couple of huge fish in my game. Far too aggressive with marginal holdings, defending with any two and going too far with them,...

Ugh. This is the response I was expecting, but I guess I was just hoping there was a better answer out there somewhere. I feel like my hourly rate just got bumped down from 0.7BB/hr to 0.35 by the...

Re: I think this was a bad play
Check-raising bottom pair no kicker against two other players when the pot is small sounds like a good way to get rid of some extra cash.
What do you do if EP folds and the bettor calls? Come out...

What is playable here?
Really passive mid-limit game, you're in the small blind with 5-7 limpers (at most two pre-flop folds) with a big blind who doesn't believe in pre-flop raises. Is this an 'any two will do' type...

Same decision, time and again
Playing a mid-high limit game(10/20 - 20/40), this situation seems to come up about once or twice each session:
I raise in some position with high cards, and 2-4 other people take the flop with...

15/30 mis-played, outplayed, or other?
Not the best 15/30 game, but not the worst. Bad beetz is to my right in the small blind, and I've got KQo in the big blind.
3 limpers, beetz calls, and I check.
Flop is Q65, two-tone. I bet...

great post
This is by far the most articulate and thought provoking post I've ever read that doesn't use the shift key and contains the word f*cked.

Re: Sanity check
If you're watching me instead of the players who are plainly displaying their disinterest [1] in their hands, you're losing a lot of EV.

Re: Sanity check
Hands I raised Hakkee's blinds with that night include, but are not limited to:
1) AA
2) JJ
3) 99
3) AKo
4) AJo
5) T9s
I doubt I would raise him with much less, because the small blind was...

Re: Yes.
You'd think this was one of beetz' regular crazy-ass comments at the end of the post. But he really did follow up that one-liner by trying to walk in the girls bathroom. I should have let him.

No, or at least, very rarely, depending on the opponents.
The problem is that even with seven players, you don't make up for the money you pay up front on the times you hit. You are now paying...
