Re: I think it\'s time... pt. 2
Have been using PT for about 3 months, but I played for over a year before that. I do find it quite useful, but I'm not sure if it would have been just starting out.
The best thing about PT for...

Re: Brick & Mortar noob question
1. My normal B&M game is 3/6, and I always buy in for a rack ($100), and plan for a 2nd rack if I need it (total; 33.3 BB). I might go for a 3rd rack, but that will be dependent upon my assessment...

Re: Kill games
What makes a kill pot a little different from simply a higher-stakes hand is the increased forced bets (i.e., the kill) and the inability of SB/BB to limp for their normal discount.
I either raise...

Re: First post ever! A question about my PT stats.
Very valid point. If my post gave the impression that I was saying the "macro stats" are unimportant, that was an unintentional error on my part. I was simply trying to convey that the OP shouldn't...

Re: Best place to play and stay in California?
You said you'd be here for a several months. After you've been in LA a little while, a weekend trip down to San Diego (only 1 1/2 hours away) might be a good change of scenery. Oceans Eleven,...

Re: Online Poker : 75% of loosers
That's a good point, which had not occurred to me before. I'm a winning player (by a modest amount). But over last two years, Pacific and Party would count me as a winner, while Paradise and...

Re: Online Poker : 75% of loosers
1. I don't think that's true. Online games are typically tighter, not looser, for a given limit.
2. Even if it WERE true, looser games make it EASIER to win, not harder.
3. Regardless of...

What I didn't want is to raise, have CO fold, and MP2 fold to my raise, which is consistent with the range of hands I put him on.

Re: I fold JJ pf
I'll lead by saying I'm not sure what I think about this. Fold is probably correct play, but just to play devil's advocate, I think argument in favor of calling would go as follows:

Re: Outs for Gut Shot and Set. Call?
I don't think it's a horrible call (the turn, that is...the flop gaffe has already been covered), but I do still think it's slightly -EV. I'm not quite the number-crunching math whiz like many on...

Re: When do you start second-guessing?

Re: When do you start second-guessing?
Good points about the low PPs; this is all stuff I "knew" already, but have gotten sloppy on...I've probably been playing them a little too indiscriminately. Am going to reread GSIH, SSHE, and HEFAP...

Re: When do you start second-guessing?
Hmmm....no, I'm playing PP pretty much every time. As long as I'm not on button or CO, I feel pretty sure that I'll get a late limper and both blinds, whether raised or not. This is one of those...
