Re: levels of thinking
In TOP, Sklansky talks about "reverting to game theory" in situations that would require a person to consider thinking on these levels, as it would get too confusing to be of much value. My personal...

Re: AA vs KK
I would like to make it clear that I lose my money every time with this flop. I think he played it very poorly on the flop, and mentioned my reasoning for moving in. I was merely pointing out for...

Re: AA vs KK
I only said I like to see flops with KK before committing my whole stack when I am certain I can outplay my opponent on the flop. I also said that if I am out of position I am much more likely to...

Re: AA vs KK
Perhaps this is not mathematically sound, but for me it has merit. How I play KK depends somewhat on how I am running. I definitely want to get some money in preflop, but am not always thrilled...

Re: Confusing Odds with Probability.
Hey Slick,
I am new to the forums and am not used to writing about probability and odds although I do understand them. I am one of the culprits of writing a probability like it is an odd (you are...

Re: How to maximize this hand?
Alex,
A min raise from the BB when the UTG raised and got two callers is not a sign of weakness. If you fail to understand why, then I suggest you just read the forum for a while instead of...

Re: staking dilemna
I believe the best thing to do when you get heads up is not to be overly aggressive with your betting. The rake only wins. That said I agree that it can very easily put one on very shaky moral...

Re: AA in big blind
Sorry, didn't mean 5xBB. I would personally raise to at least $150. I want to limit the field, and am not entirely opposed to taking it down preflop. With a raise and callers, I don't want several...

Re: AA in big blind
True, but you seem to be implying that a 5xBB reraise in this situation would have the same effect as open raise to 3xBB. I am simply stating that it's not. I maintain this is too small a raise to...

Re: AA in big blind
An open raise to 3xbb may get heads up, but after a raise and two callers a significant reraise is called for. Hero, if he has a good feel for the table, would likely know how much to reraise to...

Re: AA in big blind
It was an aggressive game, lots of raising, already a raise and callers. Reraise by Hero got three callers. I am saying the raise was not big enough to narrow the field, or give poor odds to...

Re: AA in big blind
Very well may be a semi bluff because hero showed weakness by checking the turn. The preflop raise was so small, villain may have any number of hands, had a draw on the flop, picked up a bigger draw...
