Re: Question on 8-Tabling

As someone that switched from a very nice 21" CRT to a 2001fp I thought I'd chip in with my thoughts. I LOVE my 2001fp. If you are serious about poker and make a steady stream of money at it, I...

My 2 cents:

Since he has everyone in the hand covered, his stack size isn't important. Given the stack sizes of his opponents, any reasonable raise (say to 500) pot commits them...

Winning pots VS Theory of Poker

One of the things I sort of struggle with understanding is the balance between 'take the pot down now' and 'when my opponent makes a mistake I profit'.

Let's say I hold AhAd and the flop comes...

Re: whats your read on this overbet? $55sng

Why is this a push on the flop? The pot is 290 and hero has about 1200 chips left. Isn't pushing an overbet by far? I don't really get why you wouldn't make a largish raise (enough to make calling...

Re: Speeding up the mouse

Yeah, duh. I already said in my post "I've got the speed set all the way up."

That TweakUI is really cool, but there is no setting in there for mouse movement speed. I guess I'll just need to...

Speeding up the mouse

I've got 2x 2001fps for 8-tabling, and my mouse just plain takes too much movement to get from one end of one screen to the other end of the other. My hand is exhausted from moving around. I've got...

Well, you've got about $500 each for the 2001fps, depending on what kind of deal you can get. Then you have the stand which is...

Re: Newbie question about playing the bubble with big stack

I think the important concept that you need to consider is your opponents mindset. Especially for short stacks, when there are 4 people left, most of them are thinking of only 1 thing: I hope I can...

Re: Am I a donk?

I think your line is ok, but I would also push over the top when he raises the flop. I'm guessing he showed you 42. I hate that.

Re: Quitting the 50s (low content)

The problem in these situations is that you just don't know how to analyze the situation.

If you are a winning player at the 33s there is no way you are a -23% ROI player at the 55s....

Re: Quitting the 50s (low content)

I went through something similar when I went up to the 30s. Not NEARLY as severe though. I had a killer streak for about 10-15, then a little snap back to reality, but by 100 games it had smoothed...

Quitting the 50s (low content)

Well, I guess maybe I'm just not good enough for the 50s. Or maybe I'm not tough enough. Either way, I moved up and am down about 30 buyins after only 130 games or so. I have had an absolute...

Re: HU: Defense against min-raise every hand

This is really not that hard, especially early on. If he really is raising 100% of the time, and it's only a minraise, all he's done is doubled the stakes for each hand. You still have all the...

Re: stealing from the blinds

As other people said, I might not make the second push merely because I'd pushed the hand before. I guess you don't have a table image since you just moved here; this second push could really damage...
