Re: Writing my College Essay on Poker?
Brett, writing about poker is a huge gamble (I'm on the faculty at UC Riverside, and most of these people in admissions are really serious).
If you do write about it, you probably want to hit on...

Re: ICM tell me to push. Is it so good here ?
You should probably push with this hand and your stack size (it's not that likely you'll get something much better and be able to be first one in), but it sometimes comes down to the size of the sb...

Re: Can I get out of this alive?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Folding preflop sucks. Period. It's not even very good in an 800 chip 15 blind game, in a 1000/10 it's horrible.
An all in is not reasonable but you should probably raise the...

In a cash game, you can play this hand on the button in your loose game and it will make money for you. In tournaments, however, the name of the game is surviving the early madness to...

Re: Did I play this wrong somewhere?
I like the size of the flop bet, but why bet 250 on the turn? If he's tight preflop as you seem to indicate and aggressive postflop, his flat call on the flop means he's got something, and it's...

Many of his "problems" involve single table online tourneys. Both books are absolutely must-reads for anyone, regardless of their ability.

Re: Anyone else play this AK hand the same way?
I love the check push here. You got what you wanted, a bet and a caller, might as well make the push. Huge fold equity makes this a very + play, especially since you're likely the favorite even if...

Re: Analysis Project
I think there's a lot to be gained from an analysis of this type. I don't like the suggestion to switch to a ring game, that doesn't do you much good if your weakness is in short tables or on the...

Re: so many regular 2+2 posters
Sklansky says it best in one of his essays. I can't quote him exactly, but the basic idea is that the "fish" might be playing because he enjoys it or thinks it's just pure luck. If you make it no...

Re: Newbie trying to make plays....
Bluff pushes are a losing proposition early in $5 tourneys, don't bother trying them. People will call you with marginal hands that are nonetheless better than yours. It's a hugely -$EV play.

Re: Commerce 9/18 #2: QQ
Why not raise the flop? Did you think you'd get more bets later by just calling and betting/raising a blank turn?

I think you should 3-bet the turn here.
If villian plays well then he doesn't have to have a flush to check raise this turn. In fact he may not even want to check raise this turn and...

Also, if I cap preflop here and the action is the same, then what? By capping I've represented a big hand, but SB is still going to bet the flop, I'm still going to raise, and MP1 will...

Re: Variations on a Theme -- The Slowplay (#2)
IMO, the most important reason to bet here is that you aren't going to get a lot of action from a loose passive player unless you are beaten. You raised pre-flop, he's not betting this board, the...
