Re: 2 100/200 blind war hands
Well, the turn decision in the first hand is difficult. Raising just screams bluff. Considering the alternatives: Folding is pretty bad for your image. You could call and hope he checks to you on...

Re: Strange betting pattern....
In my experience, this is one of two things.
A.) Your opponent has an Ace and is sophisticated and savvy enough to know that you will value bet a worse hand when checked to on the river and...

Absolute raking from pots that never see a flop
Absolute Poker is now raking out of pots that simply get folded around. Is this the industry norm? I can't recall ever seeing this before.
In addition, though the max rake does not seem to have...

Re: Absolute 5-handed 98o
Your preflop line isn't bad if you think you can isolate SB. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was your intent. Some guys at the 50 game can fold for 2 more back to them, but...

Re: AA 5 handed
The only reasons to forego a turn cap for a river checkraise are meta-game and psychological. In a game like the Absolute 50/100, where you're often playing against the same opponents day after day,...

Re: I\'m about to go to Chipotle
I see this mistake all the time in the 6-max these days.
When an otherwise standard player caps this flop heads up, the line just SCREAMS big draw. A savvy player will recognize this, and adjust...

Re: I\'m about to go to Chipotle
The tenor of your post makes it sound like you lost to QT or KK, but don't be results oriented. There's a large range of worse hands that CO could raise the river with: AK, KQ, KJ, KT, K9, Kxc, to...

Re: Another quick one
If it's 4-hand, I change my mind. As long as the maniacs play poorly postflop and will pay off nicely, you should probably be calling w/ AQ in that spot.
In a 6-handed game I think you have to...

Re: Quick one
The way the opponent is described, it sounds like it's impossible to move him off anything decent, even king high. We don't know exactly what Nate's image is at the time, and that's very important...
