Re: So how much are we raising AA preflop now?
[ QUOTE ]
If the stacks are deep it may be very difficult to get to the 10% level, so you have to wait for the flop and take it from there. In other words, with deep stacks you can't prevent pocket...

Re: Results (my thoughts later)
I think there were several posts about how good the NL games got after the Travel Channel and the WSOP!
We weren't kidding.

Re: not pushing small edges
This is a cash game situation and there is no need to 'work up' a buy-in if you are properly bankrolled for it. Just add on. Unless you're playing online, and then it's worth noting that there's an...

I called and he had QK for the straight. I am thinking that if I had moved all in on the flop, there would be no way he could call. Was that what I should have done?

I don't know how good your opponents are and what the table conditions are like, but I think you have a fold. If you're behind, you're way behind, and with two all-in before you I think you can bail...

Chip Dumping
"Teammates" playing from the same bankroll can dump chips to the biggest stack among them when their own elimination seems likely.
As to how widespread it is, I have no idea.

Re: River decision, bluff or save some money?
It's a 1c/2c table. He made it to the river, and my guess is he's going to call with nearly any pair. If you wanna play this limit, generally it's fine to be aggressive on the flop and most of the...

Re: PLHE Strategy
Limping/trap calling with big hands is usually asking for trouble. You need to reraise more often, not less. For if there's such a big chance of them folding, then you could always try...

These twodimes statistics don't mean very much. You've also done things like put 98s in the same hand as 88, which cuts down on the likelihood of tripping up by quite a bit. We all know that KK...

Re: NL Quiz: Pick a Hand any Hand
Of course, the other assumption that you have to make is that the guy will overplay his AA on the flop that gives you trips. Obviously, it is not good to take a 10-1 shot if you know he'll fold...

Re: NL Quiz: Pick a Hand any Hand
This sounds like a limit-player's response. The stacks are 500BB deep, so you can put in 8 BB as a 10-1 dog with your underpair if you think you can pick up more than 80 BB when you're a huge...
