Just a Fun Hand
No strategy questions here. Just me with one of those hands that come around once a year or less and I debated the appropriateness of posting this but I just coudn't help myself.
Fairly average...

Re: \"O\" Cirque du Soleil
I sat in the second row and thought it was fantastic. Poker room made my reservation. Any of you who stay at Bellagio through the poker room they will make show reservations for you and generally...

Re: 20-40 with \"thinking\" players
In thirty years of playing live holdem I've never seen someone make a live straddle and not see the flop no matter what it costs. Don't think isolation is possible here - if you make it 4 bets it's...

Ruling

Mirage 40-80 - How Would You Rule?
First of all, I've never seen a game at this limit with 4 absolutely clueless players at the same time - the only problem was the game moved so slowly, probably 25 hands per hour max.

Re: 3 betting with 22-66 at higher limits
If you think you make money with overcards against a pair out of position you're insane.
Why? If it's someone who plans to just call to the river if he gets it headsup, you don't think you'll...

Re: 3 betting with 22-66 at higher limits
Paluka - I'm probably echoing some of what a number of people have said. At mid-limits I find a number of people who make this play way too often. The thinking seems to be some form of "I'm...

Re: characteristics of a fish
Here's a more generic answer. A fish is someone who seriously overvalues his/her ability or seriously underestimates the abilities of his/her opponents.

Well, it's obvious to me that you're not thinking at a deep enough level. You should be thinking about what they'll think that you think they have if you are willing to three-bet and play the...

Re: 20-40 AJs monster draw.
I agree with you thinkin g about it a little differently. The odds of winning by hitting your hand are about 1.1 to 1 against you but you are getting 2 to 1 for every bet you get in (on the flop). ...

Amazing to me how this happens all the time with new players and seems to be forgotten. When I first moved up to 10-20 I rolled over the game (this back in 1988) but after about 18 months of running...

Reading this post and the responses really got me thinking - good job, Tommy. My first reaction was similar to TSP and others - how could you not put in a raise on the flop and/or the turn? However,...

Re: KK w/ an A. twice. 100-200
Mike:
When playing well, I'd probably play these two hands similarly with the major exception of betting the river on the second hand. Just seems too likely that BB could have A9, AT, or even AQ....
