Re: British Law
Yes, we had the presumption of innocence before y'all in the US did. In fact, we invented it and you got it from us, along with other stuff like no arrest without due process.
We don't have the...

Oh yes it's superb, and Smiley's People (the sequel) is very nearly as good. I think Tinker Tailor and of course especially Alec Guinness would have won all sorts of Oscars if it had been a cinema...

David Sklansky - too good to miss
Rather buried on the WPT forum is a thread in which David Sklansky makes the following - truly unmissable - statement:

No doubt he would say I have quoted...

On the assumptions stated below, the answer is clearly B: no hands.
You have a billion dollars and it costs 1.5 dollars per hand to play. If you wait until you have the most dominating position...

Re: the rest of the hand
If I were you I'd go back to the casino and ask for my money back, as there were 2 5s in that deck.

Re: PLO 0.25/0.50 at Stars
Although you probably cannot fold at any stage, one useful observation from this hand is that you are almost certainly being freerolled once your opponent re-raises the flop (the question is how...

Re: Who makes this PLO call?
If there is enough money to bet the turn, or the turn and the river then the situation is so completely different that you really can't extend the reasoning from the present situation.
Remember,...

The following assumes that not only was there a single diamond on the flop, but also that the flop was rainbow; no flush draw possible.
Had the button had, for example, 89TJ then he would have had...

Re: PLO - deck crippled, what to do?
The bitter truth is that it is hard to get paid much in these situations. Very often, the maximum you get is the size of the pot on the flop. Either the other player bets it and then shuts down, or...

Re: Tournament Theory question

I understand this to mean that 60% is the chance of getting to 20K *before getting knocked out*. So it is meaningless to say...

Re: Theoretical backdoor draw PLO question
I would say you cannot call a pot-sized bet to make a back door hand if the ONLY way you are going to be able to win is by making the back door draw. This is probably true even if you are sure that...

Re: PLO: the mythical wrap
You don't have to have an ugly two-gapper like 569T to make a 20 card wrap; you can make it with a sleeker, more attractive one-gapper.
E.g.
Your hand is 5689 and the flop is 47T.
Admittedly...

Re: Muck top pair + flush draw? - 1-2-2 NLHE
If you flop pair and a flush draw against *one* other player, you can reasonably sometimes *raise* all-in, since you may win if your opponent folds, and if he calls then you must have *either* the...

Re: Clarky re-explores O8 hand #2

Call on the flop was very iffy I would say especially since I believe you characterised the game as quite tight in one of your posts. Basically you need runner runner...

Re: Was I a Wimp w/ Nut Full House?
If it is bet and raised to you on a paired board (with only a backdoor low draw) then the high likelihood is that the jacks are split between the bettor and the raiser. I would say this is...

Re: Horrible play by a pro.............
On the turn the board is JT35. Pro holds AK47. 4xQ gives him broadway straight, 4x2 gives him a wheel, 4x6 gives him 7 high straight.
Broadway and 7 high straight are the nuts, of course, and...

Re: Horrible play by a pro.............
It is quite important to note that he had 12 outs on 4th street, since a 2 would give him a wheel. This gives him almost correct odds to call even if he didn't get paid on the river, but bearing in...
