Re: In need of professional advice...
Low security isn't going to affect my game. If I'm playing somewhere that I realize is at risk of being robbed, the likelihood of that happening on any given night is very low, so it won't make me...

Re: Hand Converted Version
Since El Diablo plays very well, I'd say he should only bet the river with a flush, a boat, or a bluff. If he just had the 1-card straight or trip Q's for example, check-calling on the river is much...

Re: NL Pocket Aces Hand
Without any additional information, I can conceive of conditions and player types where the villian has a big jack, a club draw, or hit a set on the flop and boated up on the turn.
If he is a...

If Reese reraised PH preflop, he would only be getting action from AA, so he makes the decision that he "should" be ahead with KK and just calls. That is why he didn't put in another raise.

Re: High stakes cash games on TV
Cris,
I believe that many cash games actually have a stronger narrative. We won't have to focus on the tournament bust-outs and races and instead follow a true narrative. For example, lets watch...

Great Post. Something to add...
We are in the same situation. I turned my hobby into a career about 7 years ago. Poker is my hobby now, and I am not so quick to turn it into a job, even though my stats say that I might be earning...

Re: Do I have a problem ?
Something broke you and you decided to take a shot. I can think of any number of things that make a person do this. I did it once as well. What interests me more is the fact that you can't give a...

Re: Look Good, Play Good -- borne out by science?
I think the answer is that it certainly has an effect on your own play to dress well, however slight that effect might be. You are looking snazzy and sitting among the t-shirts and jeans -- you feel...

If I'm going to play a live game, I play PL or NL. The hands are much more interesting to watch and there is more skill involved. It keeps me on my toes. Most importantly though, you can see more...

Re: Long slumps...
If I read it right, you have been break even for ~9 months. That means you aren't beating the game. Sure its possible that you're on a monumentally bad run, but why let that stand in the way of a...

Re: Myers Briggs or Keirsey?

Preflop:
UTG+1 (stack=$100) makes it $7 to go.
