Re: Ptracker question on Position Stats
It's normal to be a loser in the blinds when you include the money you post.
But isn't it unusual that cero's sb numbers are *so much* worse than his bb numbers?

Re: merits and faults of the blocking bet

Re: Pair and Flush Draw hand
JT is probably going to put us all in on the turn anyway, so I'm not so concerned about that hand (or any hand with a pair of tens or better). But what about all the weaker hands our opponent could...

Re: Pair and Flush Draw hand
I think this is a pretty great flop for your hand, especially with your stack size. You are a favorite over AA. You are ~one pot-sized raise from being all in. Why are you looking to fold here?

Re: Pair and Flush Draw hand
Why let your opponent see a free turn card when he will fold now? Because you make a lot from when he keeps firing on the turn? I think that is a decent reason to flat call on the flop. Lack of fold...

Re: Overpair trouble - #1
Because, in Lucky's lines, you are folding to a flop reraise or huge river bet. So if he overplays a pair of jacks, you sometimes fold the best hand.

Re: calculating EV of a bluff
I like this formula because it's pretty easy to remember. It calculates the minimum probability of your opponent folding for which your bluff is profitable.

You know these lines are dodgy, so I won't comment on them in detail. They look like "heat of battle" mistakes; we all make them.

Re: Ciaffone Hand from PL-NL Poker
You left out some important info from the original problem. This hand was from a tournament (day two of WSOP main event) and the players involved in the hand were the two biggest stacks.

Rivered Underfull
Here is a 10/20 hand I observed, full ring game.
UTG ($1440) limps. He is loose preflop (VP$IP 30-ish), but plays well post-flop and is capable of being tricky and aggressive.

Re: Fundamentals
Isn't there a big difference between slowplaying AA preflop against a loose hand range when the preflop bet is ~1/30th of your stack, and slowplaying when the preflop bet is ~1/250th of your stack?
