Re: Question on table image
I dig that advice, lol. And I agree with what Hem said about asking questions. Questions imply a lot. They imply genuine interest when small talk appears more like you're uncomfortable and would...

Re: Quite an Odd Game
Ok, thanks for all this. Now when should the necessity to eliminate players preflop overwhelm my desire to avoid taking early position on the folp? Or at any other time, I suppose. Obviously it...

Re: Quite an Odd Game
I actually feel as if it reduces the playability of many hands, mostly because, especially for drawing hands, you still won't know what position you have after the flop once you call a raise btf....

Quite an Odd Game

Certainly, the game I've stumbled upon is not the mainstream version of...

Re: quite an odd game
Someone will go all in perhaps 1 out of 8 hands. Is there any way I can use the early position gained by raising to my advantage? Perhaps checking from my early position as if I was unsure whether to...

unheard of structure
Certainly, the game I've stumbled upon is not the mainstream version of hold'em. It is a scramble between a 2/4 small stakes game and no limit, with 25c small blinds and 50c big. Bets and raises can...

Slump, look away, stare the cards down as if you're trying to make them change with your eyes. Look uneasy, even ill. If you catch your opponent looking at you, glance away and back and away again....

Re: struggle for the antes
I, too, came across this curiosity. I play in a home game with miniscule blinds in comparison to both our chip stacks and the ensuing bets. It's a NL hold'em game with a very odd structure, the max...
