Re: Follow up bets

I play mostly freerolls, and your last sentence describes it perfectly. In freerolls (and I think most low buy in events) many of the players are only thinking about their own hand. They're not...

Paradise New Years $20K Freerolls Question

Anybody know whether these will be basically winner take all (like their 'Gift Tree' freerolls) or a more standard payout structure?

Re: anyone know of any free tourneys?

Absolute Poker has them like every half hour most of the time. Some other sites that have qualifiers that allow you to play in freerolls on the weekend are PokerStars, UltimateBet, and JetSet Poker....

Bankroll without deposits?

I would normally consider this a stupid question not worth posting, but someone in the MTT forum pointed me here in response to a post I made mentioning that I was hoping to build a bankroll through...

Re: beating a low stakes tourney

There's one move that I've found works VERY well - even in freerolls. Most bad players aren't thinking about what your hand is...they're thinking about what their hand is. So if there's a flop...

Proposal for those slumming in freerolls and micro $ tourneys (LC)

I generally only have time for MTTs during times (9-3 Eastern) when I'm at work. The only sites I can access from work are UB, PokerStars, and JetSet Poker. I'm trying to build a bankroll without...

Re: JJ, fishy game...do I want callers or don\'t I?

Thanks. I had heard that rule of thumb before, but never really thought about why it existed before. I think I just evolved from a 2.3 to a 2.4. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: JJ, fishy game...do I want callers or don\'t I?

I've actually been finding it that if there are enough people (say 4+) I have a plan...fold to any bet if there are overcards on the flop. 1 caller I also have a plan...if there's only one overcard...

Re: JJ, fishy game...do I want callers or don\'t I?

That's what I thought. When I realized that (on the bus this morning), that was a real eye-opener for me, because I feel like I've been reading over and over that pairs like 99,TT, and JJ want...

Re: JJ, fishy game...do I want callers or don\'t I?

Lets go with the first one. I want to play it as a large pair. Let's say I'm on the button. 3 people limp. Blinds are 10/20. I raise to 80. Are you saying that in a fishy game (lets say $10...

JJ, fishy game...do I want callers or don\'t I?

It seems like I've read many times that with a hand like JJ I should be hoping that my pre-flop raise gets me heads up with one caller. My question is: in a fishy game, why? If people are calling me...

Re: Carnival Cruise Hold\'em

I haven't, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if there's ever somewhere likely to have a soft game, I would think that's got to be it - just a few hours may be all it takes to pay...

Re: $33\'s: Got my @$$ kicked AGAIN last night (5 hands)

Regarding your comments on hand #2 - I'd go a step further than Tigerite...you should probably be going DOWN levels to win back money that you lost. Although it may take some time, you've got a...

Although most of the individual items on your checklist are reasonable, I don't like the whole approach of looking at your checklist after each time you're eliminated without finishing in the money. ...

Re: planning Atlantis trip

Food may be better than in the past. When I went to Altantis in March they were planning to open both a Carmine's and a Nobu by now.

Re: Party $33 - AKo with 18bb\'s behind UTG raise

I would think you have plenty of fold equity here. Not only would your push be pretty scary to him if he has pair up to 99 or so, but stacks are small enough that maybe he's chosen this as a good...

Old \'Schooling of Fishes\' thread...anybody know where it is?

Re: planning Atlantis trip

I assumed it was the 'standard' Atlantis meal plan (which doesn't include lunch). Looks like the PS one includes everything.

Re: $12+1 K5 hand, river top two

Wouldn't leading out on the flop with a bet of 60 or 80 have accomplished the exact same thing as your check raise at a lower price if you're behind? This seems like a bad place to check-raise...but...

Re: planning Atlantis trip

I've been there twice (not for poker). I generally eat a lot, but still found that the meal plan was NOT worth it. Too expensive and too much food for dinner, but you still have to buy your own...

Re: Two hands (Stars 45k)

I didn't think a nut flush draw was impossible here, but it is less likely, since four of the nine diamonds between T and 2 are either in your hand or on the board already.

Re: Two hands (Stars 45k)

Without reads I fold hand 1. If I had a read that led me to believe he'd put me on a steal and c-bet, then I push. My rule of thumb is I've got to expect the re-raise BEFORE he does it to push.
