First time in a stud tournament - any advice?
I'm playing in a limit stud hilo tournament for the first time next weekend. Like myself, most of the other players will not be very sophisticated stud players, just holdem players who are learning...

Re: do any casinos still use $.25 or $.50 chips?
Dude, if you're thinking of building a chip set by sneaking it out of a casino, you've lost it. Even if you found a casino that would give you a rack of 50 cent chips - I guess to play 1-2 holdem...

Re: best way to improve WPT TV coverage
I totally agree with the Lederer quote. But how do you get him to cover the biggest tournaments in the world when he can make a million bucks by playing in them? You don't have that problem with...

Re: Alright, have at it...
Ric,
I don't think your play was bad at all. You could have pushed a little harder on the flop and the turn, since you knew your hand was vulnerable. But even that might not have worked, since...

Re: Greg Raymer-You Sir, Are.....
I don't disagree. Some of the most memorable players in the 2004 WSOP were Mike Matusow, Ellix Powers and James Sousa. But if somebody is going to come out of nowhere and win the main event, I'd...

Re: Probability Question
I think not. In a heads up game, a player is likely to reraise all-in with a much smaller hand than he is in a full ring game. Depending on how aggressive he is, he might re-raise with any pair or...

No callers on the river.
I'm getting the best of it in online $25 NL and PL cash games. But there's one part of my game that I'm finding frustrating. Whenever I get a monster hand, I often slow-play it, and then bet big on...

Re: Greg Raymer-You Sir, Are.....
From everything I've seen/read/heard from outside the ESPN coverage of the WSOP main event, Raymer is very much the gentleman, and surprisingly humble for a world champ. He is very good for poker.

Re: The best Norman Chad quote
I like Norman Chad, but I agree that there are only so many times he can go to the My Marriage well for jokes. My favorite of these is from last season, the first one I heard from him.

Re: realistic fear of quads?
Charms,
I had a similar situation happen to me in a live game. I had A-8, and so I got sixes full on the turn. He was checking, and I suspected a trap. Maybe he had a medium pair giving him a...

Re: river dilemma
He may be bluffing, of course, but you cannot call this bet with one pair. You're either up against a set or straight, or if he's very gutsy, and overpair. I don't like a call here.
BTW, I keep...

Your bet on the river is not too bad. You may have been paid off by betting smaller, but I doubt that you were going to get called on the river unless you were up against Q-A, Q-J or a 3. I don't...

Re: Have Party\'s 100NL FULL RING games dried up?

Re: Pushing in ring games vs SnG\'s
I think you made the right move. By just calling, you would have essentially given AK or AQ or AJ a free card to outdraw you. By raising only the minimum, you may get some calls, but then you are...

Re: Noticing calling station tendencies - plug?
The answer is, there aren't any. If you think you are beaten, there is nothing wrong with folding a strong hand. The only exception to this is if you have a drawing hand, and the pot odds to call,...
