Re: Folding small blind so you can steal later
isn't folding any hand to a random hand (and that's what the BB has as far as we are concerned from the SB) a mathematical error since the SB is getting 3:1 odds on his call ???

Re: Wynn 2-5 Live Game
personally, i don't like this line.
your check-calls of his flop and turn bets reek of slowplaying a set. you'll never get all his money on the river if he's awake.

Re: Prima 5/10 Thoughts on this KJs hand?

Re: pot control or value bet? - AA 5/10
sort of "exhibit a" for playing brunson's style of limping with AA , KK.
