Re: Turn Poker Tracker Off.

I always have PT running.

That being said, I do it to make sure that the auto-requester and importer are running. I almost never check the stats once I'm playing.

Why? I multi-table and...

Re: Looking for Ratings on Books

Thanks for all of the advice. I've read both Warren and Cappelletti's books, found the first one a bit stupid and the second a bit muddled. I did some web research and looked up the Hutchison point...

Re: Looking for Ratings on Books

I was planning on ordering Ray's book. I have S/S I at home and, although it's outdated, it's also interesting (if for nothing else than for the look back at the fashion world of the seventies...

Re: Looking for Ratings on Books

That's the one! Thanks.

Also, I'm looking for good books on Omaha/8. Any ideas would be good, but I'm especially interested on anything applying at micro-limits, similar to SSHE.

Looking for Ratings on Books

I remember stumbling across a post (or page) somewhere that had ratings and mini-reviews of various poker books. I want to say that the reviews were Mason's, and that I saw it on the 2+2 site, but I...

Be careful. You can get sciatica that way. Sitting on a lump is definitely not good for your posture.

Re: Just saw the craziest thing (low content)

I was at a B&M a few weeks ago playing hold 'em. The player to my right got quad 9's with an ace kicker to put her in the lead for the hourly high hand bonus. The dealer takes the other deck out of...

Re: How many bets would you go?

To win, he needs to hold KsQs. You know seven of the cards, so he has a 45*44/2 = 889:1 chance of having the winning hand. Every additional dollar bet is +EV (and by quite a large margin), so the...

Re: TPWK vs PFR out of position MW

If both limps stay in the pot after a raise, raise again to gain PE. After all, you have two chances to catch five outs (OK, maybe 4 for the potential K[A-T] your opponent has :-)). If both limps...

Re: Flopping around on the Button

Fold the flop. You have a max of 5 outs (3 A's + maybe one for the 10, BDFD and BDSD are both ~ 1/2 out (maybe)), giving you a 1 to 10 chance to win and only a 1 to 8 payoff. And implied odds don't...

Re: 2005 Microquests Thread -- Post Your Progress, Setbacks

My goals:
(1) Branch out to more sites, especially those where fish are more likely to be found.
(2) Re-tighten my game. I was up to about a $1K BR, but killed it down to $500 last year because I...

Re: Stop-n-go\'ed 3 times

Why did you call the river instead of raising? The only hand you're losing to is JT and, if he has it, you'll know when he re-raises. Plus, it's going to be a rare player savvy enough at this limit...

Re: Bet the turn?

I really only have 5 other outs besides the diamonds (you're counting the Kd twice, otherwise). If I'm re-raised, I either put more money in or I fold. And I really can't put in more money, at...

Re: Big draws in the SB and 5-6 players

I'd have bet the turn. Only a 46 beats you. When you're ahead, bet. It usually gets you more than fancy play. Plus, with this hand, betting the turn might make it look like you have something...

Oops! My bad. You're right you don't consider a check-raise here. What can I say! I was blinded by the beautiful diamond nut flush draw. I conceed /images/graemlins/blush.gif.

Re: Steal attempt

I don't care how good you think your read is - I'd still call the raise and call him down. You have only middle pair (and a middle pair that's vulnerable to a lot of higher cards coming), a...

Re: Bet the turn?

The choice is between betting and trying for a check raise, because both your odds and PE are right. Three other players in the pot are enticing for the CR and, though they know you have big cards...

Re: Another post about kings?!

My assumption is that villian is going for a check-raise on the turn, because the check-raise on the flop seems to indicate he has an AA. The bet on the turn would be better only because, when he...

You may be getting outdrawn because you raise the pot odds enough to get others to come along when you don't want them to or because you are too aggressive when the board is textured against you. If...
