Re: What is it to have knowledge?

Re: Addiction is a disease?

Re: Final Table Play: Staring Requirements
1: limp behind or raise to 350ish
2: suited aces are overrated, pitch it unless you'd normally go for a blind steal in that spot

Re: Compare three bubble situations...

Re: Philosophies of Free Will
Part of the difficulty with this question is that it is often phrased in this way, but this doesn't do the complexity of the issue justice. On one hand there is the notion of determinism and...

Re: Baiting the shortstack…clever or stupid?
My objective was to increase the shortstacks pushing range, in that people will often push with low pockets 55-88, but are less inclined to call with them. AT-AK and TT-AA i'm playing with either...

Re: Baiting the shortstack…clever or stupid?
To clarify my line of thinking, I was worried if I raised that the shortstack might think that I had pot committed myself (at least to their stack) and might not push over the top with some marginal...

Baiting the shortstack…clever or stupid?
This way I can get away from the hand if the BB or the button picks up a big hand, but I am very likely ahead of the short stacks range (he recently lost a ton of chips and seems possibly reckless). ...

Re: First hand of tournament: big decision
Button's Range: AK-AT, plus small chance of A4s. Even smaller chance of a stubborn big pair that regrets not reraising preflop.
