Re: My name is PokerBob and I am not a man

I remember when PokerBob was posting his "I am not a man" posts in Small Stakes.

You rock, Bob. I hope your year of adventure is going well.

Re: Overcards (AKo) - raise/bet for value?

I'd take the free card on the turn here. You pay as much to call a bet on the river and you may save a bet if SB bets and MP calls.

River check behind is fine b/c you'll get called by something...

Re: What\'s 5/10 like?

Party 5/10:
-- few tables so you're up against the same players all the time (good and bad)
-- pre-flop is raised &gt;80% of the time
-- &lt; 4 to the flop &gt;80% (50% HU maybe?)
-- lots of HU play...

Re: 2-4 Turn decision?

Don't use handles in your posts. Use a converter -- much easier to read; they keep a running pot count for instance.

You're getting 8 to 1 on the call drawing to a 1-card str8 and tainted OCs--KJ,...

Re: Question: VPIP 10-15% and PFR 10-13%

It's going to depend on the raiser's position. A raise from EP is an easy fold for AQo. As the raiser's position moves later, typically, his range will widen. Question is how much? AQo is an easy...

Re: How do you fully recover from a losing month?

I can't play below 1/2. But I have found 2/4 a much better game than 1/2 at Party. Just slightly less utter insanity to reduce variance to acceptable levels in my experience.

Re: Look him up?

If it's a bluff 1 in 10 you're breaking even. He may have slowplayed a set to keep MP1 in, but I think you're good here enough to call. The BD flush seems unlikely--what did he have on the flop? A...
