Re: Expanding my gambling library
Someone recently made this comment in another forum:
"7 Card Stud for Advanced Players is, in my opinion, the worst book I've ever seen in print from 2+2. That's not to say it isn't useful; it...

Re: Expanding my gambling library
Thanks. I actually don't know what those abbreviations stand for, except for the Winning Low Limit Hold'em v3, which I believe is by Lee Jones. I own the second edition, but I saw v3 in the...

Re: Am I calculating these odds right?
Whoa boy, did I screw up. I ran a simulation. Heads up, my opponent had a flush when I had a flush 2,609 times in 100,000 hands. But three handed, one or more of my opponents flopped a flush 5,200...

Re: Am I calculating these odds right?
I still don't understand what the other opponents have to do with it. I mean, I think I get what you're saying, except that with your method you'd have to set aside a certain number of suited hands...

Re: Am I calculating these odds right?
Ah, that makes sense. Then it's actually:
(12/51)*(11/50)*(10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46)=0.00513% or 1/19,490.
My intial thought at the table was that it would be (1/125)*(1/125), each player's...

Re: Am I calculating these odds right?
I think we can all agree that it doesn't matter how many players started out, what matters is that two players get all in on the flop, and that they both have two cards of that same suit, and that...

Am I calculating these odds right?
I was in a hold'em game a few minutes ago, and I flopped a flush with my 87 diamonds, and another player flopped a flush with his K3 diamonds. After he finished separating me from my chips, I...

I hope this is not something new. regardless of how loose an early position raiser is, you should not be cold calling very often at all. By "not very often" I mean almost never.

Ok, thanks. That's actually very helpful to me, however, my real underlying question is, why do the starting requirements change? I'm assuming you'd play all those other hands I mentioned if the...

Re: Preflop raises in Loose/Passive games
[ QUOTE ]
Don't be mislead here. Putting in 1 bet against 7 limpers is giving you the same odds as putting in 2 bets behind 7 cold-callers. 14-to-2 is the same as 7-to-1.

But that's...

Call with small to medium pocket pairs, small suited connectors, and maybe AQo. Raise with any big pocket pair, AKo, and any two suited broadways. Muck everything else.

Willing to open with K9o UTG would imply loose aggressive, not passive.

Preflop raises in Loose/Passive games
Specifically, if you're in a LPG and there is a pre-flop raise from UTG, 6 or 7 callers and average LPPs in the blinds, you're on the button, what are the key differences in starting requirements...

Re: Stupid PF question regarding JJ
And for the most part I would agree with you. It wasn't really the SB I was worried about; it was the UTG's raise combined with the presence of the re-raise from the SB. To just call there... I...

Yes, I meant SB instead of BB. Sorry. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Stupid PF question regarding JJ
$10/20 with a typical group of players on a Saturday night at the boat.
I'm in the BB with JJ. UTG raises, folds around to the SB, who 3-bets it. The player is pretty loose preflop, sees maybe...
