Re: Daft \"guess his hand\" post
Perhaps no one guessed the hand correctly, but without knowing what type of player your opponent is, he could very easily have had any of the hands mentioned and played them the exact same way. Many...

I wish I could count on 1 hand how many of the "bad beat" hands in this thread are made up. Hand 1 probably happened, I would be confident in making a bet that instead of just flopping...

Re: Did I go all-in at right time?
Contrary to some, in a home game I like this push. Not sure what your read was on the players involved, but in most of the home tourneys I've played, people show no qualms about raising with JT,...

Re: unbeatable game?
A PLUS, thanks for checking that out on the software... I had no idea what the actual numbers would project with high pocket pairs against random hands, because I've seldom had to show down against...

Re: UB 6 handed vs. 10 handed
My experience is that the 10-handed tables are more profitable. I find that, on average, the competition just isn't much better by adding those four players. I simply play a bit more patiently in...

How would you play this?
I was heads-up at a tourney where the total number of chips in play was 22,400 and I was sitting on just 4,000 of those - fewer than 1/5 the chips. The chip leader had been betting to push me all-in...

Re: Two frequent hands
I could be wrong, but my instinct is that if you're playing to draw one card to the nut flush, you're not just calling a bet 1/5 the size of your stack to see the turn card... you're either going to...

Re: Good Push?
Very good push. You're definitely drawing, but with two overcards and a 1/3 chance to make the nut flush, there's nothing he could hold on that flop that would leave you drawing dead. BB has bet...

Re: Evaluate this hand, please
I'm no mathematician who can calculate +EV or pot odds in my head, and I'm sure someone will come along with an equation for why you should or should not have called. But as a player who does well...

Re: unbeatable game?
A Plus and Paul,
You're both right. I wouldn't challenge that you could win money in this game if you can stick out the swings and, yes, the arguments for a large bankroll are only to alleviate...
