Re: sklansky is wrong and gives bad advice
Sometimes I argue with people, sometimes I attempt to persuade, other times I try to educate, but on occasion, I just want to break them.
It's obvious to the winners here that I can neither...

1,000 times a day
When I review my decisions, I force myself to play a hand one thousand times a day for a week. I then vary my play and check the possible/probable outcomes.
In this hand, I don't like it. Yes,...

Re: 32s on the button
I liked your play. S&M say that 32s is playable on the button with lots of limpers and that is the way the hand was played out. The button is the playing position. Play.
You flopped your...

Re: Legitimate Games?
Mason has written that 300 big bets losing streaks are probable, even for winning players. I've suffered a couple of 200bb losing streaks this year, and three or four more 100bb down falls. Every...

Re: Pokerroom.com
I play there regularly. If you try to play 5-10 or above, you had better be very good. There is typically only one 5-10 and one 10-20 full game at a time, and the sharks are usually eating the...

Run Away!
Just give the small blind the money. There are only 4 small bets in the pot and you have a lot of ways to come in second. If the bettor has a Q or T, the best you can hope for is 9 outs. Even...

You must outplay them after the flop
In loose games, big pairs go down in value. In loose games, defined by me as four or more preflop and always a showdown, people will stay until the river if they have a pair. The showdown is almost...

Re: Share your biggest suckout win.
I held 92 in the big blind and played for free against 2 limpers. Flop was 752, so I bet. First limper called, second mucked. Turn is a 2. Wow! I bet with confidence now. Call. River is a 2, I...

You stole my post!
Ditto.

Re: Playing online for a living week 31

Re: Playing 3 tables
I find just the opposite. I've now been playing three tables for six weeks, and I love how I'm involved in another hand in minutes, if not seconds, after losing on the river. On one table, I might...

Re: and another fish....
I agree with CrackerZack. The call is fine if you can get away from a K in the flop that has no flush help.

Re: Who is the \"fish\"?
I agree with everyone who said, "you raised to get information and then ignored it." You have the knowledge, but you didn't follow through with the fold. The raise on the flop was good, but the...

Re: 2 folds how I do?
I believe that both hands show that poker is more than just cards. Using only your original post, I would answer with the hated, "it depends."

Re: Question.....
