Re: Site where cards run fairly even?

Sounds good to me, where do I sign up?

Fish will call anyway even if they are certainly beat, that's why they're fish. The problem is you never know when they make their hand (until now), since...

Re: Site where cards run fairly even?

No thanks, but at least I got out while I still had a bit of cash. Even loaded dice exhibit randomness.

I didn't even mention rakebacks - sheesh, how do you think they make money if they're giving...

I stopped playing there because of all the multitabling rocks, and the fish would always draw out on you.

Re: Site where cards run fairly even?

Hold on a minute, just because the cards are random doesn't mean they're fair, only that you cannot predict the sequence of future occurences- and unlike some of the articles mentioned, not every...

That\'s it for me!

I'm giving up on online poker.

I've read a stack of books 3 feet high, understand them, apply them (even after the flop, for those of you whose pat answer is always "you need to improve your...

Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands

Not valid - if get two callers on a check raise they almost definitely have something, put in a weak ten and a flush draw and your chances of winning actually drop.

Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands

RAKE!!!!! RAKE!!!!!!

I forgot to even think about rake effects here.
I wonder if anyone ever figured out the actual EV/hand for this example. It may be ones of those examples where theoretically...

Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands

I agree that computer simulations don't show everything since they assume that you will stay until the end, but that is part of my point. The best-case scenario of 5 random hands gives you an edge...

Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands

This is a bit after the fact, but I was rereading SSHE myself and wondering about this hand. I ran it through pokerstove vs 5 random hands and various plausible situations, and in all cases except...

Re: How much gamble do you have in you?

I would choose A5 of spades.

Would give me a straight now, I would bust any of his flushes, and he can't make a full house.

Re: A common occurence at all levels

Yes, but they are even more likely to have nothing,

Yesterday I had pocket aces and there was a 4 straight and a possible flush on board at the river. Because I knew my opponent I called and won a...

Re: Should I have been greedy?

Having 8 players really scared me, since I always get beat.

Next time I'll lay the trap, though.

Re: kk with a on board

nothin you could do about either one, in hand 1 the guy flopped a set, and in the second calling a raise in the small blind w a suited ace isn't a bad play.

BTW, I find SSHE's recommendations for...

Re: A common occurence at all levels

It mostly depends on your players.

If you use PT, and are againt a passive type such as a rock or a mouse, then by all means fold, especially if the pot is small.

If you are vs a laggy maniac,...

Re: How cute....Doug\'s first collusion post

At first glance it looks like if there was collusion then the other partner should have never called the last bet on the second hand, since the hands were showed down. Also, I am not sure if the...

Re: Playing Marginal Hands vs. Possible Draws

After further thought, since people usually do not play random cards (except at very low limits, which ends up burning me), if there are many people in a hand it is likely that at least one of them...

Re: 8 tabling -- which 2 party skins would you choose and why?

I would choose Empire - Empire has a good rakeback (20%)

(Also, I wanted to get my 50th post in so I wouldn't be listed as a newbie: I am a newbie to the FORUMS, not POKER).

Re: AC Reports - Comparing Rooms (plus report)

I LOVE the Borgata. My first casino trip was there and after that nothing else could measure up, the Taj was a dissappointment and the Trop's poker room was a hole.
