Re: How did the early players do it?
You do realize that things like pot odds and expected value have been around much longer than the current poker boom, right? Same goes for the concept of game theory.
I'm not saying that Doyle...

Re: Some boring hands
Hand 1: I would have bet the turn and called a check-raise. But given your turn check, were you going to a call a non-diamond, non-T river?
Hand 2: I don't think this will work often enough to...

Re: KQo with maniac on board
Sorry, raising the river won't work here. If the SB has any sense at all, he'll know that the maniac's aggression is meaningless, so he won't fold a flush even if it's two bets back to him. Doing...

Re: 88 - I cold call
Let me guess, you won this hand. But other than preflop and the river, your play makes no sense here.
First, what are you calling the flop for? You have a preflop raiser, an MP caller, and a K...

Re: KQo with maniac on board
You must 3-bet this turn. The maniac has 2 cards and the SB is just tagging along with a K or some draw. Not 3-betting the turn is truly horrible because this is exactly the kind of situation where...

Re: Value bet after turn checkraise?
This is a pretty straightforward value bet. In fact, I would even pay off a check-raise because that would look suspicious enough to be a move.

I don't see the point of the flop raise. Yeah, you might be able to get both of these guys to fold, but the pot is small, and your hand has questionable showdown value unimproved. There's nothing...

Re: multiple forks in the road
Preflop is fine. Given that you have no info on the opponents, I agree with Barron that calling is better than 3-betting.
On this kind of flop, I would typically go for a check-raise. ...

Re: winner at 20/40, loser at 30/60?
I don't have much experience in the 20/40 game, but I used to play the 15/30 before the 30/60 opened up, so I can tell you what I think are the main differences between the 30/60 and the old 15/30...
