Re: The 3rd Shot at 10/20 is a charm... but not

Re: Live hand: Bottom pair, ugly river
You don't give a preflop read. I think that the turn c/r and the river call go hand-in-hand, you think AK and AQ are a significant part of his range. The only way to c/r the turn and not call the...

Fantasy basketball -- Duncan == Billups?
So there was just a trade in my fantasy league, Tim Duncan for Chauncey Billups. I complained but the commissioner said it was relatively fair because Chauncey is having a monster year. So I...

Let's look at your gutshots, which is one of the better scenarios. Suppose you flop a gutshot. Looks like this is a favorable scenario for 96o because you have odds to call, right? Except...

Yeah I usually check/call the turn but this may not be right.
I haven't seen anybody say bet/fold the turn and I think this option is at least worth examining. Flush draws are pretty but they...

Re: dear God when will it end?
Congratulations. You have discovered the fact that panhandlers make more money than they would if they didn't panhandle.
Now the only question is hourly rate.

Re: AQo - Can you fold this river?
(1) I cap, but I don't think it's a huge deal.
(2) I'm not good enough to find a fold either while multitabling, but it is one. I'd say you're good 1 in 25 instead of 1 in 15. If you've made...
