Re: QTs in the BB. Ugly River.

Jim,

I do not like the river fold.

Here is why. Once you bet on the turn, knowing that you will be raised by AK, JJ, and AA/KK/QQ; and might be raised by AQ or KQ, then you need to be prepared...

Re: Folding top pair to the turn CR.

I recently stopped playing for a weekend and instead closely studied a large number of hands I had put in over the last few months. I found some interesting PT data about a few situations. This is...

Re: how many of you buy medical/dental insurance? And how much is it?

$100/week for a family is cheap comparatively. My son's policy costs that much for him alone in NYC. And I pay much much more per family for my employees.

Re: how many of you buy medical/dental insurance? And how much is it?

Chief,

I consider $20k catastrophic for some people. While it is on the low side moneywise, what if you wait for 5 hours at a public facility in a big city to be examined and the appendix bursts?...

Re: My Stud Mistakes

1. I represent a pair of Aces on third street too often, though not all the time.

It depends on what you have when you represent the Aces (and raise), and who and what are behind you. Here is...

Re: PLO interesting hand
