KJo on the button
I've just recently moved up to 5/10, and aren't too confident in my judgment at this level. 23 hands for SB, he's played 5 voluntarily, raised twice, but hasn't show down a hand yet. I saw him...

Re: Dropping AKos preflop
I think this can be simplified a bit. To a pretty good approximation your equity is about the same as hitting the flop. It's of course not that simple, but this can't be too far off. In that case,...

Re: AJs, what the hell am I doing?
You pose an interesting question. I can't give a complete quantitative answer, but maybe this table will give some insight. I put together a set of possible raising hands, that add to about 4%...

Re: Simple handreading
Your possible hands make sense, although I think you meant "K7, K4, 77, 44", not "K7, K5, 77, 55". I wouldn't rule out the suited K7 or K4 from a 25%VPIP player after 2 limpers. But his flop bet is...

Re: A leak I am working on, looking for opinions
I don't claim great expertise, but I had the experience where worrying about essentially this issue left me in a 4 MONTH break-even streak, due almost entirely to excessive avoidance of folds in...

Re: A8s, uncertain on all streets
Thanks for the help, guys. Confirms my feeling that I was a bit wimpy. I've been getting beaten up for aggression lately, and am probably a bit gunshy.
Just want to make sure of one thing -- The...

A8s, uncertain on all streets
Early on, so only read I had was that both opponents were probably slightly loose. Game seemed fairly passive. I'm a bit unsure of my actions on all streets, I felt pretty passive myself:

TT vs 2 LAGs, Overpair
I've been playing poorly lately, and don't know whether I folded too soon or too late on this one. Comments on all postflop streets appreciated (I'm certain the preflop raise is fine). Both opps...

Aruba postmortem
Thanks for all the advice, guys. It must've helped, because I ended up ahead despite having almost no B&M experience and playing at higher stakes ($4-$8) than I'm used to.
There did seem to be an...

Re: Need emergency help adjusting to Aruba Rules!
Yeah, that sounds right, again because the implied odds improve. Unfortunately, the first night I played, the ONLY hands I got the entire evening, were speculative, including about 5 small pocket...

Need emergency help adjusting to Aruba Rules!
Aruba live 4-8 has rules where the flop bet is a full BB, instead of a small bet (actually optional, but noone bets only $4). I am hoping someone has experience with this sort of game and can give...

Re: 99 what about my flop play?
Raise preflop. Nobody is in yet, you want to limit the field to 1 or 2 opponents with modest pocket pairs. If others were already in, and you had a chance for 5-6 opponents, a call would be better....

Re: Misapplied concept? pt. 1
I make it 11.5 outs. If he has the A/images/graemlins/spade.gif you have 4 outs to win. If he has another ace (3 cases) you have 13 outs to win (9 spades incl A + 2K+2Q) and 2 outs to tie (one of...

Re: Douche-bag
The nice thing about playing online is that when this happens you can say "ARGHHHHH @#$%!%&*(&" as loudly as you want, and only your wife, at the far end of the house, can hear you.
