Get all the Money In
I agree. Sklansky touches on this in TPAP, I think. His point being that your best chance with AK or AQ in this situation is to win it PF, OR to see ALL seven cards. The example hand is typical. ...

Re: I\'ll miss you all - sort of
No offense taken. I think it's more timidity than anything else. In any case, I shouldn't say I have no desire for something I've never tried. That's a bit over the top.

I\'ll miss you all - sort of
First, let me offer a bit more anecdotal evidence of the "toughening" of Party. In the only $10 S&G I played yesterday, all players remained at level V. The short stack was T635 and all others were...

Summary and learnings.
Thanks all for an excellent tactical lesson. Let me see if I have it:
1) The first player who called me might have done better to come in with a raise, to shut others out.

Among the many winning concepts illuminated by 2+2 and TPAP is that a good player can win simply by not losing. This concept, although simple, is not easy. It requires faith in the “system,” and a...

The consensus is: Total lunacy - RESULTS
The BB was on 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif T /images/graemlins/club.gif. The river was a blank, and my Ace held up for first place.
That's the great thing about 2+2. You can get some...

Re: \"Creeping Commitment\" in the SB
I think you're both correct. I had enough chips to be patient. The wimpy bet on the flop won't get me anywhere with the chip leader. The reason I posted the hand was that I had been trying to talk...
