Bankroll is everything.
If you go pro, you must have an adequate bankroll for the level you expect to play at. You also must set some money aside to take care of your living expenses for a certain amount of time to cover a...

Re: To go pro or not, and where?
Here in Minnesota, the compacts for the Indian casinos forbid players from touching the cards. The state would like to have all the compacts re-done to get a cut of the pie which they forgot to take...

Tournament Payout Structure
I played in the monthly no-limit tournament at Canterbury today. With 207 entrants, they paid to the 19th spot. However, the payout for 10th thru 19th place was $100. The buy-in and fee was $100 +...

Re: 3-10 BB/hr online
1 to 1.5 BB per hour is fine for the B&M cardrooms. The rate online is much higher. Your 3.9 is probably real close to the mean.

Re: Do you limp first in shorthanded? Why?

Re: Do you limp first in shorthanded? Why?
Yes, re-raising is in order with QQ and JJ. Even in a full game, I tend to use the same strategy. As I recall, it is 3 to 2 that an A or K will appear on the flop. Of course, in the low limit games,...

Re: Value betting your kicker.
If you don't suspect that your opponents have the case ace or a pocket pair, and you think your kicker will hold up, ie the 8, then it is certainly the proper play.
IMO, you played it well.

Re: Do you limp first in shorthanded? Why?
I use game theory to limp first in. For AA and KK, they must come club-diamond to limp 1 out of 12 times. QQ, two red or one red queen and the queen of clubs, is raised 50% of the time. JJ is raised...

Re: 6-max tables
Good point about Turbo Texas Holdem. I agree with it completely. TTH was good for me up to a point.
As for playing ATos, it is a good hand to use for deception in a short-handed game. Overall,...

Occasionally, 72os wins. Sometimes slowplaying will win more money than betting it out right.

Re: A 8 offsuit
This is certainly a case where raising is better than calling. When you raise, you are decreasing the probability of making a mistake. But folding is definitely the way that I would have played it.

Best Player?
The reason that I chose T8s is that it has a negative expectation for all positions in a short-handed game. Is it wise to raise with a -EV? Somehow that doesn't make sense to me. In other words, if I...

Sensative Schoolgirl?
My opinion was, is, and will be your play is loose. Period. If it bothers you, either toughen up or go on tilt or both. Now that is personal.
