Re: Setting up a poker station
If the computer I have has onboard video, would a dual output card bring that up to three monitors or would I have to disable the onboard entirely thus dropping me to two? Also, how will processor...

Setting up a poker station
I have been playing online for a couple of years with a laptop that could just barely handle PP, PT and GT+. I am now up to 6 tabling and the PT db has gotten bigger and the laptop can't handle it. ...

Re: Leak #3 Raising from the blinds
Everyone seems to like raising the A9s OOP. Is this really a profitable raise? I guess it depends a bit on whether these limpers would be limping with better Aces and/or worse aces. Now if I were...

Re: You like or no?
At the middle levels (above 2/4) flop play is always considered suspect. A c/r flop would beg the question "If he had a Q, why wouldn't he wait to c/r the turn". AA,KK,JJ,TT (maybe a frisky AK)...

Re: KK - slow me down
I would take the same line. I would consider check/calling the river to avoid being raised but I am a weak/tight ass on the river. Some reads on the players would help a lot though.

Re: The Winning Player - Let\'s Define Him
The winning player wins. Done. That is all. If I am an absolute fish, play once, win and never play poker again, I am a "winning player". I am not a "good player". Thing is, in reality the fish...

Re: Pots odds theory
There is one area where the initial poster is correct. Not with flush draws but with straight and overcard draws. SSHE makes the point that overcards should often not be treated as full outs, but...

Re: Average winning hand
It doesn't matter how the hand is made but I think you will easily remember a hand like AK on a A2774 as a TPTK hand and forget that you had two pair. So it feels like you win a lot of hands with...

Re: Folding the nuts?
This is a situation where saying that "the chance he has a flush draw is 8%" is not accurate. Not because of the math but because quite simply the betting line made it a STRONG possibility. If it...

Another simple example of fold equity is what is a bet worth purely based on the chance someone will fold. Let us say I am playing $1/$2 limit and on the river I have a busted draw. The pot has $20...

Re: TT hand played badly?
Being afraid of this river is just seeing ghosts. Yes he MIGHT have QT. But it certainly is not the only hand he could have. You think he really just decided he was going to call down with top two?...

Unless you have seen this dude C/R bluff before, let this go on the turn raise. Even if you have seen this guy C/R bluff before, let it go. Saving these extra bets is a major contributing...

Re: 88 on button bad lay down
Unless you have reason to think that the raiser would never raise a draw I would 3-bet. This is a bit read-dependent but I would put the initial bettor on the 4 rather than the 5 and the raiser on a...

Re: SSHE
One small error there. You said he bets the pot and you are getting 3-1 pot odds. No, you only count what is in the pot and his bet, NOT YOUR CALL. If there are $10 in and he bets $10, you need to...

The answer to your question has alot to do with the players. With a relatively large preflop raise (5 times the BB) and there are three callers, I have to assume this is a relatively loose game. The...

Re: 50/50 situations in tournaments. Advice?

Re: 50/50 situations in tournaments. Advice?
My point isn't that winning the tourney would give you 2-1 on your investment. Just winning the 5 coin flips (not the coin example, the tourney one) does not make you win the tourney. If you win...

Position play with drawing hands
One other point. With hands that can hit a big draw position is very important. With 4-4, after the flop you have either hit or missed. Position does not matter as much. If you hit, you can bet out,...
