Re: Curtains Hand 1

How does Curtains have 5BB? I thought the blinds were 50/100.

What GrekeHaus said is basically correct. People who pass up +.3% edges late in a tournament are very bad poker players in my book.

Re: Bad strategy or good?

Why do you people keep saying he shouldn't raise AJs from the button? Especially at the 50/100 blind level. Because of the limper? I'd probably open push here.

The original poster specifically mentioned that we were talking about raises in general, not just pushes.

I think you guys underestimate the strength of suited hands in SnG's.

Re: Question about hand ranges & equity (calling vs. raising, yada yad

Question about hand ranges & equity (calling vs. raising, yada yada)

Now, we know (at least, I hope we all know), that certain hands have different equity depending on whether or not you're facing a raise, or raising. As an example, KQs vs ATo from the button.

It's not a down streak. It's not bad beats. It's a statistical problem. The following numbers are close. Not exact. But close.
