Re: Scrabble Dictionary changes

I'd prefer check-raising the flop just to try and get the other two players to define their hands more. If you just...

Is this Chris Pikula the magic player? Do you know Randy Beuhler? I think Randy Beuhler is fat. He will never stop eating pizza.

Getting a job at the NSA as a mathematician basically requires a graduate degree which doesn't seem realistic for the original poster. It takes 5-7 years full time to get a PhD in an area of math.

Re: This hand still bugs me. $500 max NL
Huskie's numbers are correct. You can get them from running any hand simulator, or you can just approximate them by drawing to 7 outs and then 10 outs. Remember to take into account that the 2 big...

Re: Over-pair hand. Mistakes?
Yuck.
First off, I definitely think you should be raising JJ from UTG. If you don't like calling a re-raise, fold. I don't think it's optimal, but it will cost you less than playing JJ like this...
