Re: Writing software

Don't know who or what NPAEM is.

Frankly, I like and run Linux too, but coming from a Windows background I'm sticking with Word (running via CrossOver Office). LyX is so damn ugly and why should...

Not to be results-oriented ...

... but who won after you folded? Or did it not go to showdown?

Re: Party 3/6: Flopping TP with A6s

Under the (probably misunderstood) influence of SSHE, how about a fold here? You *may* have best hand if SB raised with a pocket pair other than Aces, but the board is sliding away from you with...

Re: Question from SSH

Go back and reread it. It's extremely clearly worded, so the problem is not in the wording. Number 3 still involves money, so don't think it's talking about winning percentage only.

Another thing...

Re: Confused about SSH recommendations + cold calling

You've got it right - you are cold-calling in this case.

Perhaps you're confused because you remember reading elsewhere in the text that you should rarely cold-call an early raise (p. 61,...

Cross-post - poll in Psychology on thinking style

As a relative newbie to poker, I was astounded to realize that while I normally verbalize extensively to myself when solving a non-poker problem, I have a tendency to clam up when under stress at the...

Poll: What\'s your thinking style, and do you ever forget to think?

My natural thinking style is to use interior verbalization during a difficult intellectual task - that is, I talk to myself. This holds true for my poker game as well.

I don't need to verbalize...

Re: Book Suggestion: \"The Play of Marginal Hands\"

[ QUOTE ]
I think this is what most people (including me) need the most. Lots of examples and details on playing marginal hands from the flop onwards.

Gee, it's sure not what I...

Re: 3/6 rake unbeatable? according to TT Holdem

Yes, the rake is brutal - the jackpot rake doesn't help - but the average 3/6 live game is beatable despite this. Even the average 2/4 live game can be beat, though the rake there is generally...

Why all those straddles, aside from just having fun?

I'm curious - aside from fooling around, is there a point to all those straddles? Most low-limit hold'em tables I sit at are plenty loose to begin with, so the idea of "loosening up the table"...

Good situational limp of a suited gapper, or just fooling myself?

Live 4/8 at a local club. Two seats to my right is an extremely passive, naive beginner who typically will call the flop and turn with absolute zip, but often fold a weak pair on the river if you bet...

Handling a semi-maniac at a higher limit than I\'m used to

Posted this on small stakes at first, but hoping to get additional comments:

NYC club - moved up from 4/8 to 10/20 for the first time. Not something I'll do on a regular basis as I don't have the...

First time at 10/20 live - how to handle a tough pseudo-maniac?

NYC club - moved up from 4/8 to 10/20 for the first time. Not something I'll do on a regular basis as I don't have the bankroll, but fun to try.

The 4/8 games at this club are soft, and for the...

Re: Head-up and chicken with 77

Well, in as much as this is a very scary board, with that third check on the river (especially with the game as passive as you claim), you have to put this gal on Ax suited (not clubs) or...

Re: Calling down with KK when feeling you\'re beat

I appreciate your comments and am sorry you didn't have fun because of what you see as vagueness. I've always felt that many situations can profitably be summed up -...

Re: 88 under the board

My first thought would be to bet in the feeble hope that a Ten will finally give it up and fold. If he has a flush draw he folds too. If he had a Nine he likely would have raised me on the turn....

Calling down with KK when feeling you\'re beat

5/10 live, full table, most players seem passive with some very loose raisers.

UTG I open-limp black Kings. A couple of callers, a raise from a loose MP player, another caller, and then BB...

Head-up and chicken with 77

5/10 live at a club I've never been to before. Players seem fairly passive.

All fold to dealer who open-raises; no real read on her so far. I'm in SB with 77 and reraise, BB folds, we're headup. ...
