Flush draw all-in
I apologize if there are good threads on this subject - have tried searching without success.
3 times in the last 2 days, I have had a strong starting hand, and caught a strong piece on the flop. ...

Re: Sng\'s and Bluffing

Re: Royal Hold\'em strategys
You make money in this game by understanding postflop play. I rarely raise preflop (except AA and KK or on the button against passive SB and BB). I will see many preflop raises unless I learn that...

2nd or 3rd strategy question
I have now played almost 200 50+5.
1st 27
2nd 32
3rd 16
In analyzing my own play, I believe that my 2nds exceed my wins because I often play for 2nd (situations where we have 2 small and 1...

Re: Challenging the basics behind ICM
SonnyJay,
I have ignored all the insults and immature remarks - this is an open forum and I assume that we each have a soapbox (like in Hyde Park).
I do believe that I understand how ICM works....

Re: Challenging the basics behind ICM

Re: Challenging the basics behind ICM
I would like to thank the many responders. I apologize for not making my point more clearly.
Statistics (and here I assume that ICM is a statistical model) depend entirely on assumptions. If one...

Re: Can I get some help with this hand?
I personally hate hands like this, because I do not know what the villian has or is thinking. The first call rarely concerns me. The second call makes me very nervous.
Too often I call the...

Challenging the basics behind ICM
I have been trying to understand this forum's fascination with ICM. Certainly, ICM represents the "common wisdom" here.
As a fan of Freakonomics, I often have disdain for the common wisdom. As a...

Re: 11: Easy fold with JJ?
I like a call here. 2 reasons - it is still early and 125 does not cripple you - and you have position!
I would push with 2 checks and a favorable flop. You have great upside for an acceptable...

Re: attitude on coinflips
This is an interesting but somewhat confusing discussion. As I see the problem, it depends.
