Re: Keeping track of HU SNG\'s

Read the FAQ. It'll link you to a powerful SNG spreadsheet.

On a related note, anyone know if the spreadsheet can be modified to keep track of >10 player SNG's? I tried it but it doesnt seem to...

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)

I didn't know that useless and insulting posts were welcome around here. You can't learn from anyone saying "your an idiot lol". I'll criticize posts like those, thanks.

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)

This is exactly the kind of drooling useless response (complete with misspelled words!) I did NOT want.

Keep your mouth shut and maybe youll learn something form more intelligent posters.

What the bloody heck is wrong with everyone? As demonstrated, the caller made a +chip EV decision and everyone is calling the caller a complete moron. Last time I checked, +chip EV is a good thing,...

Re: To Those Successful MTT\'ers: a Difficult Question about Stealing

Your theory of preselection intrigues me. But of course, I've always known those sites were rigged, because you see the same people winning all the time. Coincidence? I think NOT.

Re: Was this too weak?

Yes, except almost every small stakes player in existence would check a set or two pair here. And 1/2 is small stakes.

Re: Math question about AA.

Why should you ever want to take it down on the flop? You havent explained this.

When you have 75%-85% odds to beat ANYTHING, forget "taking it down". You want as much money in the pot as you can...

I lost a flopped ace-high flush to a turned straight flush.

But thats not as horrible as one hand a guy I know saw at the penny tables: a guy flops a straight flush... only to lose to a higher...

Re: Duplicate Poker

Yeah, this is where I got the idea. I had no idea they had sorting machines to do it, though. Thats crazy.

Duplicate Poker

I was toying with the idea of a poker variant that somehow eliminates luck (and, as a bonus, would be legal in the state of Illinois). The obvious solution would be some form of duplicate poker. A...

Re: QQ multiway.

What? How could you fold before you've seen what cards are coming on the flop? You could have folded a winner and not known it.

Re: Results

PokerRoom's hand statistics put it right behind TT, which is interesting since ive always put AK higher than TT. But I can't think of a situation where limping with AK is not a mistake.

Re: Gambler\'s Ruin

The answer is 0.

Proof: With zero buyins, there are no possible plays, so there are no +EV plays, therefore there are no +EV plays that are not all-in, therefore every all-in play is +EV.

Re: QQ against small stack agression.

One thing you see a lot at low limits is people who think, "if i'm gonna call such a big raise, i might as well go all-in", playing the situation as though they would a tournament. I would only be...

Re: Betting Structure question

Actually, that's how PokerRoom's games work in both limit and NL. To my knowledge PokerRoom is the only site that does that.

Re: Very basic stud questions (buy-in amounts, etc.)

That's superstition. Your odds won't change whether you're drawing the 1st card or the 50th card in the deck--it's still a random card. People aren't "stealing your outs" by staying in the hand.

Re: Final table....Did I make the right call???

Even if his cards blew over (which would really be something, considering it was online) and you saw his AK you made the right call. QQ has 13:10 odds on.

Re: When do you look at your cards?

To me it's obvious that almost anyone would give the strongest tell right after looking at one's cards. That's the *worst* time to have everybody watching.

If you wait to look at your cards, you...

Re: Pokerroom NL blinds

At Pokerroom's NL games, bets on the turn/river must be at least double the big blind, like fixed limit.
