Re: My Amazon review of Kill Phil

Thanks for your reply GG. Yes, I know they suggest this, but until the game becomes 6-handed they say you should follow the basic strategy. For online play they suggest (for example) moving in from...

Re: My Amazon review of Kill Phil

Binions, thanks for the review. I bought the book and I agree with you, it's certainly an interesting read.

One question. You say you've applied this with success to SNG tourneys. At what level...

Re: HEPFAP, Page 22 First 2 Cards, EP

[ QUOTE ]
No it doesn't. 8 callers is the optimum. So if you raise UTG you want the big blind to fold and everyone else to call for max EV. If the bb calls it's a teensy bit worse.

Cost of folding

I'm reading Matthew Hilger's book, 'Internet Texas Hold'em'. In it, he suggests that beginners don't call with KJs in EP unless there is 1 limper already in. So if you're UTG, for example, you...

Re: VP$IP and win rate

[ QUOTE ]
There is no direct, predictable correlation between VPIP and winrate. Mike Caro wrote about this in Super System 2. He said that one pro could play twice as many hands as another, and they...

Re: VP$IP and win rate

I'm replying to my own thread here (is that the same thing as talking to yourself? - maybe I'm losing it). It just occured to me that since the other player is playing 25% fewer hands, would the...

VP$IP and win rate

Assume that one player has a VP$IP of 20%, and another a VP$IP of 15%. They're both decent players and play well after the flop. Also assume that the player with the higher VP$IP has a win rate of...

Re: Best PT autorate rules?

Ahhh, just tried it. So you don't bother with the icons then? Just the stats. I'll have to use it for a while and see if I can get used to it.

Re: Best PT autorate rules?

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't understand the difference between the DUP and Gametime+. Don't you still need to use the autorate feature with either? Or does the DUP autorate for you?

IF you must use an autorate, then use the one built into PokerTracker. Many of us no longer use autoratings now that HUDs are available.

Best PT autorate rules?

Is there any concensus on the best auto-rate rules for Poker Tracker? Also, where can I download them from?

I play mostly full ring 5/10 limit, if this is relevant.

Thanks

Re: GSIH: Bankroll implications for short-stack NL play

Thanks for the link to BruceZ's formula. FWIW mine comes out at 549 BBs with a 1% risk of ruin (although my sample size is nowhere near large enough yet). However, it's smaller than I anticipated...
