Re: Newbie help - Tracking pot size, odds
When I started counting pot size, held a stack of chips in my hand and dropped one every time a big bet went into the pot. After awhile, counting bets became second nature.

Re: Huge flop- how to maximize?
Based on your table image I'd check here and hope to check raise or hope it comes back to me 3-bet. (Unless your playing at PJ Pockets, then I'd bet out /images/graemlins/wink.gif ).

Re: from an Ed Miller quiz...
Honestly, it depends on the specific players on this flop and my table image. You flopped a monster and want to build a big pot.
In some cases, raising is the way to do that, in others, calling...

Re: Long and heavy poker content
Okay, so your post is long and makes a lot of -- many debatable -- statements but it lacks a point.

Re: Not a question of IF but WHEN...
If you fold here, it has to be on the turn, MP1 leading this turn screams straight which means you'd be drawing dead.
Calling the turn means you are calling 2bb to see a showdown.
Laugh, fold,...

Re: When to Value bet when to not Value bet?
Hand 1. Don't bet. The 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif makes a lot of hands that people could easily be drawing to.

Re: QQ - pushing too hard or not enough?
SB shows a lot of strength here by capping the flop then leading the turn into the 3rd flush card.
Obviously, he wouldn't put you on the flush, but he has to put you on a high pocket pair.

Re: Live hand against a weak tight
I see your logic, but heads up on the river just isn't the place to make a fold for one bet. I mean 15 to 1. You're loosing so little value by calling it's worth calling just to see what he has. ...

Re: JJ hand, what is a better line?
Your line is fine. Easy river fold.
I'd discount your turn outs to about 5, still an easy call.
Pre-flop is standard. Flop is fine.
This hand looks standard, what's eating you?

Re: notetaking in live play
No sir. One room I play in doesn't allow cell phones, but a buddy of mine plays Bejeweled on his Palm and noone says anything. He takes session notes on it as well, but not player notes.

It may seem like people are colluding or cheating in some cases, but the fact is most of these players play much to poorly to profit by cheating this way.
