Re: Report for my very first trip to a B&M (FOXWOODS)

Ate at the Veranda Café. I shall never make that mistake again.

That's funny, the Veranda is my favorite place to eat outside of the poker room. I always recommend it.

Well duh! :)

I considered that, of course, as a big reason for the discrepancy. I'll have to check where I was playing the hands from, though -- I might play A7o UTG more, and maybe that's getting me into...

Yo Bokonon,

Hate to say it bro, but it you are asking about starting hands; you shouldn't be playing 5/10, I would think.

I think you'd be able to answer most of your own questions....

I've got 280 hours of hands in Pokertracker at this point, and while I'm still doing reasoanbly well BB/hour wise (2.88), I know there are some holes. So I dug up some Pokertracker stats on starting...

Starting to play 7-Stud hi/lo online -- tips? Are the games as soft

as they seem, or did I just get lucky today?

I picked up Ray's book on hi/lo stud and Omaha, and while Omaha is kind of neat, it's pretty damn boring just sitting around waiting for A2. So I...

Report for my very first trip to a B&M (FOXWOODS)

After playing poker online for a few months I finally got off my butt and decided to visit a real-live B&M on Thursday – and damn, I’m glad I did. Not because I won a lot of money (At the tables I...

Re: Goin\' to Foxwoods tomorrow! First time in B&M -- advice? And how tough

I still remember the time online I hit "raise" instead of "fold" with my 53o UTG. Flop came J55. And there was plenty of action afterwards. I think I might have caught a 3 on the turn, too!

I had...

Re: Was I beat, or just bluffed???

It's sooo easy for him to have an ace, I think you'd have to be nuts to call here. I can't see him going all-in without an ace. If he did, well, more power to him. I just don't see it.

Re: Goin\' to Foxwoods tomorrow! First time in B&M -- advice? And how tough

Been awhile since I've played in a full ring limit game, to be honest! Been playing 90% 6-handed and 10% NL. Going to have to dust off my books, because lord knows I'm going to be looking down at KJo...

You and Kong are both morons.

It's infinitely preferable to flop NOTHING, then catch a set on the turn and quads on the river. Cap the flop and the turn, of course, because you know the quads are coming.

The big bonus is that...

Been playing for only a few months, at medium online limits (Mostly HE, 5/10 shorthanded, some 2/4 and 3/6 10-seated, some NL tournies) and have been doing okay. Okay enough to risk...

His raise was lightning-quick. I figured he'd reraise like that with either a medium or high pocket pair, a king, or a decent-sized diamond (maybe with the other card paired with the flop). With a...

Re: AJo in the BB. Too aggressive?

You had TPTK, and in the face of very little resistance, raise the flop and bet the turn and river. What's not to like?

Re: Raise TT on the river? #2

Because it's Party you shouldn't just consider JJ, KK, and AQ, you should consider AK and AA as well /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

I'd call and when he showed me AK/AA thought "Boy do I love Party...

Very nifty! Again, I shall cease and desist all Q2s steal-attempts against all but the weakest of the weak-tight players /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: Raise TT on the river? #1

First let me say that while I'm not sure it's optimal, if it's a very loose table I generally call with TT in that position, hoping to get 5 or 6 callers and flop a set -- on a tight table, raise and...

Okay, okay you two! I'll stop stealing with Q2s unless I'm sure the player is weak-tight!

Re: HU Suited flop -- how would you play it?

Hey, Q2s is better than the average hand, so why not make the BB pay to see a flop /images/graemlins/grin.gif. I admit this is a pretty marginally pf raise against someone I think is on the...

Re: 3 Hands from $5-$10 online

1) Check-call. Most would say Check-fold, but it's Party. Well, I'm assuming it's Party the way AJ 3-bet the...

This happened in a shorthanded game (5/10 Party) but I'll post it here as the situation is almost equally applicable to a full ring game -- and people keep talking about SH games in this forum...
