Re: Number of hands required to play
Too many.
In all seriousness, you need a HUGE sample size to judge how you will do in the 'long run'. Many prominant posters here on 2+2 will tell you it's in the 300,000++ range.

Re: 99 .25-.50 Scary Turn Bet
I 3-bet this in this position with reads considered. However, even against an unknown table here I think I would 3-bet it out.
That turn card is scary, considering it completes a flush draw and...

Re: AKo comes up empty
I like your play here. I would bet this turn against unknowns a good portion of the time, but if there is any aggression at the table it's better to get the free showdown.
It's not a total...

Re: What to do?
So there is possibly someone holding J9 here. Strange line though either way, honestly though, there may be two players who both hit top pair with J.

Re: mistake?
I fold this hand on the flop the majority of the time as well, don't beat yourself up over it.

Re: QQ Hand
Looks great to me. Not pushing your edge on the flop is stupid. You have to expect that any /images/graemlins/heart.gif is going to own you. Push it if one doesn't land.

Re: AKs UI monster pot, reverse domination
It's unlikely that they are holding AQ unless they are passive. There is a smal chance that the button could hold KQ, however.
I would say considering that you have all 3 of your A outs, and...

Re: Where do the pro\'s begin?
First off, how many hands have you played at .50/1 and what is your winrate? Anything below 2.5BB/100 and 10k hands, I would say stick to it a bit more before moving up.
1. Many people on this...

Re: AKs with fd against two plrs - bet for value?
Yes, your equity on the flop is pretty large, considering that you havn't seen any aggression and you should push your edge. Depending on reads you may be able to get 2 callers to fold here with a...

Is this live?
If so you never know what these people might be holding, and honestly I don't trust anyone live at limits under 5/10. They limp in with anything on weekends to see if it will hit.

Re: Bonus clearing, Is my autopilot faulty?
At best the guy is waking up with JQ or some draw or otherwise with the 6. I wouldn't say playing 21% of his hands is neccesarily tight either, I would say he's afraid of raising.
