Going Card Dead Preflop...
What do you do when all you have done for hours is fold preflop?
Going card dead at the table has happened to me a number of times, and during a full ring game, I can handle it.
However,...

Datamining Poker sites other than Party
How do you assess/datamine the tables at other poker tracker compatible sites?
Do you simply sit and watch the table manually for 30 hands or so, then make an assessment?
Or is there a way to get...

Re: 10/20 Give up or fire away?
When I say reads, I am not talking about poker tracker stats. I am talking about personalised reads. How do they play top pair/second pair/bottom pair? Do they cap their draws? Do they fold on the...

Re: 10/20 Give up or fire away?
In these situations, with 180 hands on your opponent, you MUST have built some kind of read on your opponent. ABC plays simply aren't gonna cut it here. What you do will depend on how your opponent...

Preparing for the $10/$20
How much more difficult are the 10/20 games compared to 5/10?
Is the increased difficulty due to harder table selection? Greater postflop aggression? Tighter preflop play?
What makes the...

Re: sb vs. bb
OOP with bottom pair against a passive habital caller always sucks, because it seems like you are either always slightly ahead or way behind, and you're doing all the betting for him.
Still, I see...

Re: Dare I cold call?
The UTG is likely to call the raise, the BB is likely to call also (and maybe the SB).
With two to three others likely to be in this pot, I would gladly coldcall here, since a reraise is unlikely...

Re: Weird river decision with 43s
Without a read, I would fold.
Although, I have to say, the MP2 having a river AF of 2.1 can mean that he tends to play marginal hands too aggressively on the river. So if you know that there is a...

Re: 3/6 v. 5/10 6-m
No difference, just more aggressive at 5/10... and in my experiance, looser too.
Lots of multiway pots with players who love to CC with A3o.

Re: QJs
In a smaller pot, I would probably take the free card on the flop.
BUT, because this pot is big, you have a back door flush, back door straight, and two overcards to the seven on the board that...

Re: Why should you raise with A2s?
It depends.
In a tight shorthanded game, where most pots are heads up, and a raise will likely gain me position in the hand; I will raise low suited aces UTG.
In a loose shorthanded game,...

Re: utg+1 w/ KQs vs open raise
With no read, I would reraise.
Why? Because I want to have position; I want to have the pot heads up (but if the hand ended up multiway due to a loose table, my hand still has postflop value);...

Re: someone has a gambling problem
Poker has NOTHING to do with ethics or moral duty. If you are saying that poker players as human beings will have a sense of morality, then of course I agree with you.
But the game of poker, the...

Re: someone has a gambling problem
If you feel that you are clearly a better player than he is, and he is buying back in everytime, then in my opinion, you should play him.
He is going to gamble his money away anyway, whether you...
