Re: Another Draw situation
I'm guessing if this player was a loose gambooling type you would have said so in your post. Most 'decent' players pat bluff much less than they should. Don't bother with the game theory calling...

Re: 5 card Draw situation
If he's aggressive enough that you are uncertain about folding when he bets in a situation like this, you need to raise or fold AK, depending on how likely he is to fold the blind.
If you say he...

Re: Interesting 7CSFAP Fifth Street Play
Do any mid-stakes players on here regularly use this play? It may be a decent semibluff on 5th, but I can't imagine getting free cards on 6th often.
A check on 6th just screams "I'm not firing a...

Re: Problem how we view short term luck?
EV is meaningfull before you play that one session.
If you can add 10 +EV TD hands against a hit and runner to go with your 100,000 +EV HE hands, it's good.
It is meaningfull after the...

Problem how we view short term luck?
I don't play specifically TD HU, but I think this is a very relevant topic for any HU game where your EV is in some sense 'too small' with respect to your variance. Why does the aggressive hit 'n...

...both fixed limit and pot limit. There's more low limit action right now than Paradise. Hopefully the 5/10 and 10/20 games will eventually get going, I kind of miss the game.

Re: TT, xxxKA, bet river?
Yeah plus I can't imagine he calls a river bet with a worse hand.
You don't think there are any J9s or 77s out there that will check behind but call a bet?

Re: Loose reraise PF? - 2/4 Razz
The only reason I'd raise this on 3rd is to punish a chronic stealer - a slight pause doesn't mean much online. Your raise commits you to 5th, but it's not the biggest mistake since you certainly...

The doorcard is extremely significant in Razz. If you have an A or 2 as a doorcard and there is only one low card left to act, nearly always steal with A2K. Steal sometimes with more than one low...

I don't think there's anything wrong with drawing 4 or 5. Who cares if you are exposed? You aren't calling a bet unless you improve, and showing your weakness encourages unexperienced players (the...

No of course it's not a winning PF strategy.
