Re: Moving Up Is Hard To Do
The key is identifying what is different. The "average" player at the new level is usually just a tad bit better at something (or somethings) than the "average" player at the old table. Figure out...

Giving up on the turn
I've only got about 30 hands with villain so far. He seems fairly loose and generally passive. I suspect his PFR is around 10 during this small sample (that is, he's raised only a couple times that I...

Re: Yet another low-limit stud 8 hand...
I would have limped to close the action if villain had not completed the bring-in, and that's probably already a pretty loose limp with the dead hearts and the 5/6 dead as well.

Stud8 - Day 6, Hand 4: Yes, it\'s a 3-flush
The game is generally loose passive, and I thought I would be able to sneak in for one bet. Then I felt compelled to call the raise. On 4th, the flush was still very live and the pot multiway, so I...

Re: Raising a gutshot for a free card?
The preflop coldcall is very bad. Your hand does not do well against a raise, even with the dead money in the pot (if you had posted as well, it would be different). 3-betting might be superior to...
