Re: flynn vs strassa

The difference is that one never admits that he's wrong.
The other is never wrong.

Re: Post your guesses - how often to raise from the button?

You should always push, in both the 10bb and 3bb games.

This will get you out quicker, so you can go play poker.

Re: Myers-Briggs type for a successful poker player?

Doesn't M-B put all of humanity into just 4 more categories than the Zodiac?

I'm in the personality type that doesn't take personality profiles.

Re: books on human condition

I really like "How the Mind Works" by Steven Pinker.
It explains some very mysterious behaviors, like love and war. The framework of evolutionary psychology works as an approach to many other...

Re: ub 25-50 river checkraise #3

Does anyone but me think it depends on what you did in the previous hands? If he thinks you will fold to a CR whenever a draw appears to hit, why not go for it?

Re: Look Mom/Dad I won 12K

You could take your folks' minds entirely off poker by making a skydive. If you like it, your $12K win can go into your new obsession. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Short Stack Play From the Small Blind Dennis Bragg

I enjoyed this article. It simplifies and clarifies a lot of the discussion on the single table forum.

However, it glosses over an important point. All of the analysis is done based on the...

Re: I\'m all confused all of a sudden

By the standards of many here, I don't play much.
I think I have been genuinely blinded out exactly once in about 1000 SnGs, on 3 sites.

Since keeping better records, I haven't been blinded out...

[ QUOTE ]
If the BB knows that button is pushing with a certain range, he should know better than to call just because his hand is an odds favorite over that range.

Re: I\'m all confused all of a sudden

If I have only 5BB or less, I should call with any 2.
Thanks for the discussion, I thought I was the one being the troublemaker.

I love to play against the "push with any 2" crowd.

Re: I\'m all confused all of a sudden

Which is better on the bubble with even stacks?

A. push from button with any 2, when everyone knows you will push with any 2

B. call from BB with top 35%, when button pushed with any 2

I...

Re: I\'m all confused all of a sudden

Not sure what point you are making.
Me winning once makes up for 4 or 5 folds.

Re: folding a set in level 1, am I crazy?

Tough position, but your play looks fine to me.
Nice of him to let you see the turn and river so cheap.

Re: I\'m all confused all of a sudden

I second your remarks.
As long as I can tell an opponent is pushing any two, which I very often can, I can profitably call with any A, K, 2 broadway cards, or pair.

Last night I caught a 43o...

Re: Am I not slowplaying enough? KK @ the 33s

Looks good to me. You would have made less, possibly lost, if you had slowplayed.

As soon as you get called, top pair bad kicker is probably not ahead.

You asked for a critique. Be careful what you ask for!

What game are you writing about? I'm guessing limit hold 'em. You shouldn't make me guess.

Re: Hand I am curious about

As the big stack, there's hardly a way to misplay this, if you are careful on the flop.
