Re: Casino - Andrew Bloch
Did anybody else think this scene seemed really staged? It seemed like they were feeding him things to say, and the scene outside with his asian partner seemed really odd. I just thought if he's a...

Re: scare card on the turn
This is a really interesting hand. I think the way it plays out depends on your image. If you are percieved as a loose, fast, action guy who will play draws aggressively, it's possible that that card...

Re: should I lay this down or not?
This is an incredibly tight-weak laydown. Preflop, i'm not sure about this, but you might think about reraising here to try to get heads-up with the initial raiser, even though you're out of...

Re: Cold Call Flop?
My mistake. Since you said "cold-call" the bet, I didn't read the post clearly enough, and I didn't notice that you had called the $24, and then the extra $45 or whatever. I thought you had called...

Re: Cold Call Flop?
I really don't think you should be calling all those bets cold here. You have a bet, a raise, and then a reraise. If you think about that, you are DEFINITELY beat right now, with at least one spiked...

Re: Flopping the nut flush and slowplaying.....
I think you still might want to get some more money in there. At this point, neither of those guys thinks you have a flush (due to your slowplay on the flop and turn). They may think you just had the...

Re: How to play in the passive game?
I would say that if everyone is folding to your 2-3 dollar pf raises, you should start randomly steal-raising if you are getting so much respect. Do this until you get some more callers on your...

A Clarification/ Formal Apology

Re: stress getting to Gus Hansen?
I disagree with you guys' critique of Gus's play. I think this move was completely irrational. Gus's preflop steal was understandable (we all try sometimes), but when the flop comes with two...

I haven't read the entire thread, so i'm sorry if this has already been posted, but EVELYN NG from Ladies' Night is by far the sexiest WPT player/dealer (she deals the Hollywood Home Games).

Re: OK, help with probability please
The problem with your thinking is that you are regarding each hand as occurring as independent events. However, in most crappy games, players are not going to fold Ax or, in some very loose games, Kx...

Re: Still working on this \"folding\" thing
Your play on these two hands isn't bad. I might have led on the river of the second hand, because if he raises, you wouldn't call anyway, but you would get added equity by possibly causing him to...

Re: Good call down?
I agree. Since this is not a secure hand (if an overcard comes you will be in trouble), you want to try to at least narrow the field. If you are sure that he's got overs, why not raise to try to...

Re: A hand that I thought was interesting
Garland, in most cases, I would agree with you. However, you have to consider the fact that this table is full of tried-and-true MANIACS who don't play with a definite strategy. Therefore, they could...

This is a general limit question that could apply to any limit, but mostly at low limits where the players are, for the most part, complete idiots.
