Transition from SNG to MTT
Hi all,
Lately, I have been playing some smallish buyin MTTs (22+r, 55, 109) to break up the monotony of SNGs. I do OK at the early levels where there is a good amount of flop play, and my SNG...

Re: 3-bet AJ, now what?
Call preflop. Somewhat counterintuitively, you should reraise a tick raiser less often than a standard raiser. First of all, your calling odds are better against a tick raiser. Secondly, your...

Re: ($27) ITM SB play
If the BB is obsessed with eliminating the short stack (only coming over the top of your call with a monster, and checking it down unless he hits the flop hard), my math makes it look like a small...

Folks,
This concept is not that difficult to understand!

Re: Pretty straightforward hand, but i\'m lost.
In a loose, weak STT (and believe me, there are plenty of 109s which qualify, not just the 11s), a good bit of your profit will come from playing solid cards and outkicking your opponents. So, you'd...
