Re: How to play this AK?
Yeah, I realized later that I should have pushed preflop rather than make that weak raise. Of course it wouldn't have helped in this case because I doubt he'd toss his AK at that point, but it would...

Re: How to play this AK?
Thanks for the feedback. Before I post the results, it's time to fess up. I reversed the players in this hand. I was actually the rock in the BB, and my opponent was on the button with AK. I posted...

Re: Late play as the chip leader
Yeah, the numbers I posted were out of whack with the question I was asking. Sorry about that. That's what I get for posting so soon after an early tourney exit on a bad beat (KK went down to 87o on...

Late play as the chip leader
I've got a rather nasty hole in my game that I'd like to work on. It's the specific situation where we're down to the final four in a single table tournament that pays top three and I'm the chip...

Re: macintosh compatible sites
One thing I have found about Virtual PC is that it seems to run much faster with Windows 2000 than anything else. Win 98 is a dog by comparison, and I think Win XP requires more horsepower than my G4...

Who said anything about four tournaments in a few years? It's not that rare in the cheap tourneys.

Re: Playing AA in big multi-player pots
Okay, now we're getting somewhere. You call with AA in the 4-opponent all-in situation because the pot odds are so high. Fine. Then you would also call in this spot with KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, and 88...

Re: Playing AA in big multi-player pots
Thanks for all the sarcastic answers. That's what I was expecting, because it's obviously a ludicrous question. If I really ever considered folding AA preflop in any situation other than on the money...

There was a typo in my original post. I said the BB had K/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gif. He actually had K/images/graemlins/club.gifJ/images/graemlins/heart.gif. That's why he...

NL - Playing high pairs just outside the money
What's the best way to play big pairs when it's late in the tourney and you're just outside the money?
If I make an all-in move when I've got a big stack, I'm not likely to be called. I usually...
