Re: Maybe slightly OT - $ share in MTT winnings
50% was the first number that came to mind.
If you don't take over, he gets $0 right?
I realize he got it down to 44 players on his own, but it's not that hard to get to the bubble in MMTs, the...

Re: Huge River Overbet from a total rock
I don't like this. I don't think he calls often enough with a worse hand for it to be a good move.
The board isn't that scary, especially against a villian who raised preflop. Here's the...

Re: average profit from no limit 2/4
People keep assuring me that 6-7BB/100 is amazing for middle nl, and impossible for high nl.
My winrate falls within that for 50k hands of 100/200/400nl at party 2-4 tabling.
Of course, I just...

Re: opinion time -- how weak will you call
Good call with 77. I might have done it with worse.
Think about what your play looks like to the villian. You raised pf, checked the flop, tried to buy it on the turn, and then checked the river....

Re: Fun hand against a big fish (LC)
This is actually pretty funny.
The turn was basically the only street you played correctly.
On the river, you are being bluff min-raised because villian knows you don't have anything. It's his...

Re: Lay it down? AKsuit
Reraise pre-flop.
Raise more on flop or else just call.
The turn tells me he has a decent 1 pair hand, but your play looks weak, so he's either ahead or thinks you'll fold a king. Call him on...

I would have bet bigger on turn and river.

Re: 8-tabling vs 4-tabling
I vote for the "move up" option also.
You say it isn't an option, but why not just move up 1 of your tables?
