Re: i like to min-raise my monsters from EP...

answer to your original question

Your example is correct but you made the same mistake that i made. You have 15 outs to improve (no fear of double-counting hearts because you can't catch a heart that pairs your hole cards: both your...

Re: All right here is an idea, tell me what you think.

I've been waiting for an easy-to-follow explanation against the gambler's fallacy and you've articulated it here. Thanks.

heads-up all-in: call or fold?

You busted Player B about 6 hands ago to get it heads-up with Player A. You have slight chip lead $75k to $60k, mostly because Player A has folded to most of your preflop raises since it became...

Re: Tournament Hold Em Software

Wilson's Tournament Texas Hold'em -- read the advice from earlier post.

Poki Poker Academy -- is NOT equipped for tournament practice; it is merely ring game (like Wilson's TURBO Texas Hold'em).

Re: All In Free Throws

I don't think Sklansky's analogy is all that good here. In fact why even use an analogy? You could simply say that good poker players need to learn and practice (for retention) heads-up all-in...

Re: poker league

If you want to award the winnings to the best player on the night, you should have a tournament like last year's ... one that lasts 6 hours from start to finish for 12 players.

Re: How about that Flop 7-bet and things you don\'t hear everyday

It sounds like you had an accurate read on him but he didn't have one on you. He misinterpreted your lack of playing for 3 rounds as weak tight and didn't budge until the flop 7-bet. Even so, wasn't...

Re: Wilson Tournament Texas Holdem?

You are correct to be skeptical of your terrific results. This is probably the weakest of all the Wilson poker products. It plays very predictably and has lots of holes in its game that can be easily...

Re: does this skirt make me look fat?
