Why is it so much better to take it slow if it doesn't...

Re: Phil Laak is soooooo annoying!!

Re: Unknown holds all the cards to win WSOP
Luck is vastly more important than skill in any given poker event. I don't care how good you are, unless you are very lucky you will not win.
Just because we know him here at 2+2 does not...

Re: How big is winning 5M?
The lottery pays over $100 million sometimes. I think a poker tournament is much more like a "skillful lottery" than a sporting event because even if you're #1 in the world by a huge margin the...

Re: AQs in NL tourneys
My problem is that before I read TPfAP I felt the same way. Then Sklasky suggests (well suggest isn't really the right word...says) that limping with AQs is the correct play. What's the deal? It...

Re: In the money all-in raise with J3o
"Your read of 75% fold is based on a lot of early action where a lot are playing tight."
It was actually based on the last couple rounds of play which were after we merged to 2 tables.
