Re: bkroll building question

Play SnG's till you got 3k then play 5/10

SnG's should get you to 3k quicker than the micros

The reason then for the switch to 5/10 is like a previous poster stated, you need to get ring game...

Re: Re-directing gambling impulses to poker, healthy/unhealthy?

I don't tilt bad at all, If I go down 50BB in a day, I take the following day off. Just in case tilt ever does rear his ugly behind, I find this method keeps it at bay.

My question to others is...

Re-directing gambling impulses to poker, healthy/unhealthy?

Just because you are winning money from poker does that mean you have got rid of a gambling problem you may have had. Or has the problem just taken a different form.

Re: Mirage 20-40: Play This Hand Against Me

Hadn't read the resolution when I posted that, if i was hero i'd be upset with myself at calling though. With the Kings would dynasty have four bet a three bet?
If he does I lay it down.

Re: When They Open-Limp on the Button

If he saw an ace or pocket pair in his hand he would have popped your blinds pre-flop (probably).
Think the best play is just to call him down, you might be giving him a free chance to beat you on...

Re: Calling a flop bet with a small pocket pair

I'll also advise to discount implied odds when drawing to hands such as the non-nut flush, or other non-lock holdings.

Re: Calling a flop bet with a small pocket pair

In this instance I would completely ignore implied odds and call or fold based on the pot odds of making my hand on the turn. (17 to 1 so fold).
The reason being, you are not going to win the hand...

Re: Cross Posting with home games - your advice to these structures?

The game sounds kinda loose, if the structure allows it i'd advocate playing tight until it gets down to about 3/4 players then step on the gas.

7 14-15 year olds though, it'll all end in tears...

Re: Well what do you know...57.41% won $ at showdown... (nm)

0.05 BB/hnd for me

I think the won at showdown % is lower than I expected it would be as, with a decent stack, you'll put in steal raises and someone will go all-in and you have the odds to call...

Re: When to show your hand

I disagree with the main reasons for showing cards,

Firstly showing bluffs, a tight image rather than a loose image is preffered for SNG's as you won't get cards all day and the bulk of your chips...

Re: Would you call this cheating?

Cheers, think it's a stronger play at limit than no limit as in NL players can counteract it by going all-in before it's my turn to act.

There are variations on it, like when it's the small...

SNG's are not typical NLHE. Players stack off far more frequently, they have to coz of the blinds.

If a player was getting anywhere near 80% of showdowns won in SNG's they wouldn't be playing...
