Re: Poll: Receive paycheck when office closed due to hurricane?

Seriously, if you aren't already looking for a new job, start now. Situations like this just don't improve.

But, to answer your original question, would you be expected to turn out the same...

Re: $11 Rebuy.How much at first break would make the addon not worthwh

Some of you guys aren't thinking about this right. It's not that you're increasing your buy-in by 50% or whatever to only increase your stake by a small amount. Your earlier buy-ins are gone. It's...

Re: hello my name is

Possibly. I always have chat off and sometimes reading hand histories after the fact is pretty entertaining.

I was LilMoron on Empire and SnugglePuppy on Party, but I've since changed my Party name. It's also been a couple of months since I've been a regular. If you were playing the $50's in June/July,...

Re: A question for those with a MBA or business professionals in general

I would suggest a Financial Statement Analysis-type of class. If, for nothing else, it will help you if you decide to try and manage your own personal investments.

It would help to have some...

Re: My bust hand from Sunday\'s PokerStars $500K guaranteed

Was the 2.5x BB raise standard for him? If so, I can't argue with the push. Even if it wasn't standard, I'd still have to have a lot of evidence before I'd put him on a monster.

Sounds like...

Re: 88 UTG

I push, but I don't particularly like it. I wouldn't argue with someone wanting to fold.

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.

Hand 1 - Definite push. You're likely flipping coins if he calls and you have more fold equity than I think you're giving yourself credit for.

Hand 2 - Yuck. I don't think there's that much of...

Re: TPTK on a non-dangerous board

Tough spot. I had a significant number of $55's played against this player when I was doing SNG's regularly in June/July, so he's at least a regular, and probably decent.

Re: A Question About the $50+5 NL Holdem SnG\'s

I 4-tabled at all levels below the $50's, so that's part of it. I started at the $50's 4-tabling (maybe 60-80 SNG's), but wanted to try 8-tabling, so I 8-tabled for a couple of days at the $10's to...

Re: A Question About the $50+5 NL Holdem SnG\'s

I've run at about 8% 8-tabling over my first 1,000 the past month and a half. I also feel I've improved a lot through this stretch. So, a 10% cap is definitely low, especially if you 4-table or...

Re: AK flop play

I think the key here is how often you can get the opponent to lay down a hand that is better at the moment, like 88-JJ. You're coinflipping if he calls, but if he folds often enough, this becomes a...

Re: Why do I always feel the need to slowplay....

Once there's already been a bet and a raise, you can pretty much toss the slowplay out the window. You've got your action. Go get the pot.

Re: Battle of the blinds, flop a set on single-suited board - $33

I see your reasoning and I've been there. That doesn't make it right.

You've got position and, likely, a better, but vulnerable hand. Isn't this when you normally raise?

By calling, you're...

Re: Battle of the blinds, flop a set on single-suited board - $33

Raise the flop.

The chances of him having a single heart are several times greater than him having two. Plus, you have that whole re-draw to the boat thing going for you. Build yourself a pot...

Dude, you're pulling a 28% ROI with those numbers. The question you should really be asking is why you aren't moving up to the $20's yet.

Variance happens ITM too. It balances out.
