Re: Hand...
Just a preflop comment...while a read would be helpful, I think defending with 92s here is fine. The good odds you are getting plus position make it a pretty marginal call.
I would fold 92s and...

Re: DN vs DC -- right now at pokerroom.com
According to DN, they have played 2376 hands and DN is up 73.2 BB. Assuming that the rake is zero (at less than 0.05 BB/100 per player it's pretty neglible), with what confidence can we conclude...

Re: DN vs DC -- right now at pokerroom.com
I think it's more likely that this guy doesn't have enough in his bankroll to buy in an amount that is suitable to DC. So he likely was spared 2.5K.

Re: Getting Limp-R against unknown.
I would cap a wide range here, basically any two unpaired cards 9 or below, because if I had raised them in the first place, I would have to be on tilt, and so it is clear to me that my tilt-induced...

Re: As pairs go it\'s not much - J3s
I really like it. What do you do with a worse river card? Do you call if the river is a 6? An A or K? Do you bet/fold if the river is a J?
Interesting hand.

Re: Live 15/30 QQ
I feel bad for the button. It's clear that his nut straight got rivered by the runner-runner flush. He should have checked the hand through to make sure flush cards didn't hit before betting.

Re: Stupid spot...
I like your line. If the BB is bad, then a lot of the times he will have a hand like KK / TT / A4 / KJ here and decide he just wants to get to a showdown cheaply.
But when he comes alive with the...

Re: PFR %
How often do you raise A6o on the button in a 3/6 game? What about a 15/30 game? The increase should be almost completely attributable to an increased frequency of profitable blind steal situations.

Phil Hellmuth shows an amazing lack of understanding of basic poker theory in many of his rants, but it's hard to call him dumb when he's crafted an incredibly marketable image.
