Get Thee To a Carnival
I'm sitting in a juicy 15/30 game at Hustler a few weeks ago. Some guy with a plastic face and spray-painted smile sits down in the 7 seat. I'm in 6. He looks like either a Scientologist or a...

Re: A weird one
Taking it a step further, what's the argument against screwplaying this turn? If you c/r, intending those to be your last 2BBs spent unless you improve, you have some fold equity on top of it,...

Re: Why did you checkraise?
I like this hand a lot, Dave. What turn cards are you not raising when you call the flop c/r? A? 4? T/J/K? Or are you always raising the turn...

Re: 10/20 TT Calldown
If we raise this turn, can we fold to a 3-bet? I think the times we're raised off the best hand by a 3-bet are pretty small, so it's probably correct. It would be nice if AK doesn't want to call...

Re: Radiohead lyric debate: Idioteque
1. Paranoid Android
2. 2+2=5
3. Sulk
4. The Bends
5. Life in a Glasshouse
But Idioteque would probably make the top 10. It's tough. How can one really pick a favorite Radiohead song?

Re: AK flop decision - 20/40
You guys need to realize the advanced level of fuzzy math I perform at the table. BB was actually getting 2.6:Cheney to call, which is more than enough considering his implied Gore odds. Fuzzy math...

With this read this flop is an easy check/raise, I can't imagine how so many players want to bet out.

Re: 10/20 KJ play along
Stop. Stop. Stop betting flops hoping a worse hand raises to blow away the field. This is a check.

Re: sults
I agree with the majority here about what the range is of raising hands. I really wanted to get involved in this pot, but my hand was just a smidge too weak: T7o. So I folded, sadly. ...

Re: Stealing with AA
I like the line of calling the flop and raising the turn. However, the top card pairing is the worst thing for an overcard to see.
I'm checking this turn and betting the river if checked to,...

Re: A lot of calling with JJ
I don't play 15/30 and I'm sure it's more aggro than I'm used to, but I think the default by-the-book PF play is to fold JJ against a raise and a reraise. Looking at these stats, a 6 PFR opens and...

Re: AK flop decision - 20/40
I think this is a pretty easy bet. If you check and TP does bet and BB does call (a parlay) and you checkraise, what hands are going to call you? Pretty much only one of the other 2 aces. If you...
