Re: Card Player Article: The End Is Coming
I don't know if the end is coming or not, but I plan to hone my skills and make some cash while I can.
I've been playing since May and have had to kick and scratch for the $1k I earned for the...

Re: Mastering no-limit holdem
There are so few books on NL ring games, especially low stakes NL, that I bought it. The fact that I'm going to vegas and the book deals with B&M games, seemed worth the risk. Wrong!
The book is...

Re: Anyone play this differently?
With no read on the villian, I have give some thought to why he called, but did not raise your PF raise. 89,9T,JT,AT are possible holdings, but would he call a large PF bet with those? If he did,...

Re: Complimented at the table (psychology)
I figure most players will forget the hand and the chat within a few hands or at best a few orbits. It seems to take a fair bit of repetition to impress a table image on most players. I think they...

Re: Is there any beat worse than this one?
Yep, I got worse and you will to eventually.
These two hands happened within a couple of hours of each other.
1) Aces full of kings beat by royal (lost $64)
2) Aces full of 5s beat by quad 5s...

Re: Table selection
I always look for tables that average 30-35% VP$IP. This indicates a generally loose table and, being a T/A player, these tables are the most profitable for me. Many T/As would prefer a loose /...

Re: Just got to table AA, now what?
The game is Pot Limit. He is first in the pot and, I think, .85 is the max as that point. I will occasionally play PL, but it's pretty tough to isolate with 85 cents.

Re: My take on game selection
I can appreciate the idea of being a student of the game. I too, feel I am a student, but my approach is different. Long term, I will learn to play well against many different types of players.

Re: ETHICS OF RAISING IN THIS SITUATION
All-in without question. I don't give a flying f**k what the other players think. Popular players doen't get more money. I have no down side, I would be dead wrong not to try to make someone fold.

Re: Stop denying that poker is gambling
You speak to the motivations for playing. Some folks will be problem gamblers. If not poker, then BJ, slots, lottery, whaterver. It's not the game, it's the player.
I play because I love the game....

Re: Poor Play?
Maybe I have something more to learn here. I would not have pushed with bottom pair and a flush draw. You have a lot of outs. You can make trips 4:1, flush 1.9:1, 2nd pair, 4:1. None are great on...

Re: Go all-in preflop?
Without question, you go all-in here. You have AKs in LP. You are favored against most hands and are a coin flip against any PP except AA,KK, even then you might draw a flush to beat a set.

Re: Short Handed vs Full Table
I have accounts everywhere except UB, but I play PP most of the time. Because I play pretty tight (~18%VP$IP), 10 handed reduces the cost of the blinds while I wait for my hands. I have avoided SH...

Re: Stop denying that poker is gambling
Poker is gambing, no question. It is, however, substantially different from slots or classic table games. Those games are setup with the house favored. If I play perfectly, I will still lose money...

I always play full tables. In fact, if the table gets down to 8 or less for a couple orbits, I get out. Some folks play only short handed tables. I have a fair grasp of how one would adjust to short...

Re: When to move up limits
I seem to be in the minority here, but I think 20X buy-in is high. I'm looking to move up to 50NL and I think 8-12X buy-in is sufficient. I targeted 10X and my BR is now just under $500. I've been...

Using pot odds in NL
I've been thinking about pot odds quite a bit lately. In limit games, pot odds are pretty straight forward. If you flop a 4 flush you need 1.9:1 to continue. If I have the same 4 flush on the turn, I...
