Theoretical chip dumping
After witnessing an AQ vs AT vs AT all-in preflop on the first hand of a Step 2, I got to wondering if it's worth it to pay 3 times the buyin to start with 3 times the chips and two fewer opponents,...

Re: KQ, I just hate this hand
Yeah KQs I 3-bet average opponents. PT stats on people of course help. KQo I have started folding or 3 betting, and you're right, cold-calling sucks. The initiative you get for the 3-bet is worth...

KQ, I just hate this hand
So what do you guys do with KQ when facing a raise? We can consider 5-10 and 10-20 here, forget about 1-2. Against a typical opponent (does that exist?) who open raises up front I usually pitch it,...

Raising the semigaybet
Sorry Grisgra I can't remember what you finally decided the gaybet should be called, and I still love the term.
Party 5-10 6 handed, all passive except the BB who's laggy.
I open-raise in the...

Raising\'s no fun!
There I am, slightly drunk, playing 1-2 because I can't make decent decisions. And I'm still slightly drunk. Whatever.
Very loose passive game, massive calling stations around every corner...

Re: I wet my pants . . . (LC)
Yes it is de rigeur to just call here. The very good reason not to cap is because you don't want the action being checked to you on the turn. You want the SB to bet into you on the turn so you can...

Re: really unsure about this line
That's a really good line, and in general I should follow that in these situations.
When the BB bet out here though, I knew enough about him to be confident he would bet the turn and I could get...

Re: really unsure about this line
Well, I *know* one of them will bet, I just don't know where the bet will come from. The guy in last position is a guaranteed bettor if someone hasn't already put money in the pot, but the BB will...

Re: really unsure about this line
Maybe I played it the worst way possible. I checked the flop, the BB bet out, one caller, I just called. My plan was to check-raise any non-club turn.
How can I calculate the EV for each...

Re: 99 in BB with 2 raises against me
Isn't call one of the buttons you can click?
150 more will drop you to 600, and if the flop is good, you can push and get your fold equity there. I agree you probably don't have a lot of fold...

Re: Am I too aggressive (optimal play)?
Like I said, player dependant. I'm not going to push into the big stack with J9 or some crap if I know they'll call with any ace or even biggish kings. In my limited recent sng experience I've...

Re: Am I too aggressive (optimal play)?
Typically I'm still only stealing from 1 or 2 players when it's 4 handed. That isn't changing much when it gets down to 3 handed, except that they'll be more likely to call my steal raises because...

Am I too aggressive (optimal play)?
I've just started playing sng's. I usually play 5-10 short. After 10 tournies (small sample I know) I have the following results:
10+1: 3 1st, 4 4th, 1 9th
20+2: 1 6th
100+9: 1 1st

Expert or moron?
Party 1/2 6 max 6 handed. I've already picked up AA twice in my first few hands, and I've been raising a lot. Very loose passive table, no specific reads except that UTG can be aggressive postflop....
