Re: Detriot
Most of what Otter says is solid. The one thing I'd edit is that even though the 10-25 NL game rarely goes, the "big" NL game (2-5-5, $100 min) game has enough cash on the table that it could easily...

Re: The Protected Pot Effect: A Study from 2/4
I've never played higher (well, I've played like 2 hours of 3/6) so I can't tell you when I'd start to give unknowns the credit for thinking about what you're having them think about, but I wouldn't...

Re: Best way to stack chips...
I used to do stacks of 20, but I tended to pay too much attention to how much up or down I was when I could easily count my stack (I play limit, so clean stacks are non-important).
Now, as soon as...

Re: Anyone play in the Greektown daily tourneys?
They do cap it at 100 players, though it rarely hits the cap now that they're running them daily (though I think the Friday tourney is $500+25).
The juice is insane on the $100 (though not...

Re: Why Current Online Win Rates Won\'t Persist
One thing people seem to be missing in comparing this idea to the MMORPG "sweatshop" is that with the MMORPG, there is no point at which the employee has access to actual money.

Re: Reasonable shot at protection?
About the only ones I buy are mid PPs who would have called one bet to try to hit their set but won't call two.
The other examples you gave are either wishcasting, or given that they called 2...

Re: Reasonable shot at protection?
I've read all the responses, and I'm not going to get into the debate on whether a raise here is a good idea or not but the idea of raising here for protection is silly.
Your raise here offers the...

That's the "theory", but in practice there could be 2-3 people on the list who won't show for 30 minutes. In that full down of full-table play, you might even have someone leave the game, making for...

The phone-in excuse is how you know it's a cash-grab scam. The phone-ins have no expectation of an instant seat when they arrive, just that they'll have "been in line" while they travel.

Re: Bar Stool Pundits, week 9
Um, the Chargers were home 2 of 3 weeks before going to New England, and the road game was to Denver (which is hardly cross-country).
Nice try, I guess.

Re: I hit my draw...now what?
My first thought was bet/3-bet (before reading responses). CO cold-calls PF, then is never played back at. UTG is raised on the flop and calls the raise and the turn bet. He doesn't re-raise the...
