Re: Bankroll question
4X the buy-in is an unreasonable number. More often then not your money will grow if you are an above average player, but if you cashed out all of your winning, always leaving yourself $100.00, you...

Re: O8 Tourney--risk it with high only hand?
I am going to go out on a limb here and say raise/fold... but it depends on the typical play of the UTG player. The problem with raising is often you are only a coin flip with the UTG player. If...

Re: Party 50 NL hand with AA
I would fold here. I see this play by scared players. He may have called with 54 suited, and he is scared of getting run over. He may have a bare K, but I suspect you are behind. Give him your $4...

Re: To slowplay or not to slowplay?
I don't think your play was wrong by any stretch, but I think if there is a time to call, and let him try to lead into you on the turn this is it. However, if you are very aggressive this looks...

Re: A Tournament Hand not to be Believed
I don't play O8 very much, but I can't think of a hand that I call a raise with that doesn't contain an A. Could you give me an example? Maybe KsKcQsJc... there aren't too many playable hands...

Re: A Tournament Hand not to be Believed
I disagree.
First, nobody else has a playable hand. They will not flop a nut low draw guaranteed. They will not flop a nut flush or nut flush draw guaranteed. This should be raised and in...

I wouldn't make this call, but good hit. At least your opponents were counterfitting each other's hands.

How could it be a close call if your opponent has QQ. That is the best edge you are going to get in the tourney. Now, if your opponent only makes the move with AA, KK, or...

Re: bubble question
I would raise pot pre-flop and push my meager portion in on the flop. You have a great opportunity to move into contention.

Re: Another Beating
The big blind here is $1. I want to win $100. Sure winning $10 is not a bad win, but I got the guy to put in $50 when he was a 4:1 dog. This is obviously much easier to do when the player has KK...

Call me greedy, but I want this guy to call my bet. In this particular hand I could have went all-in and I almost guarantee the KK comes with me. This guy isn't laying down KK before the flop.

Re: Newbie tournament rules question!
The main reason imo for keeping the tables equal is the blinds. It is unfair for a table of 2 to have to always be paying the blinds when a table of 8 has to pay the blinds 75% less.
Also, it...
