Re: Ok guys. Admit it. Poker is NOT cool.

How about saying you're a risk management analyst.
If they ask, "what's that?"
Say something like, "I assess people's investments and try to show them how they are putting too much money in...

Re: Character flaws and how to deal with them?

This has been a problem in my game that I have been grappling with recently. I'm not a psychologist but feel it's an issue of "impulsivity".

There are various methods that can help you...

Re: Money Problems, More Problems, and Why I Can\'t Play Cards

Re: Facing a river all-in with low FH. NL100 - 6max

It makes perfect sense that he could be holding A7!
1. It was an unraised PF.
2. He was SB
3. He called on turn after third heart fell, which could have made a flush that topped his 2P.
4. He...

Re: Finally took a beating.BUDDY LIST ADD ON!!!

In response to your hand KK versus vill's A7o:
1. With these big AA,KK, hands the tendency is to win small or lose big, isn't it?

Re: 2 pair on monotone baord

I agree that you should have bet out on the flop which would probably have created more information for you to assess their strengths. You seem to be searching for an excuse to stay in after the 8...

Re: Applying what I\'ve learned

I'd suggest reading Crazy Mike Caro, there is a section in Doyle's SS2 that may help you adopt some guidelines and restrictions on how and under what conditions you play. His observations about...

Re: Hit and Run vs. Taking Command vs. Trapping

Hi,
Reading the description of your play and the couple of hands you've posted, I can't help but to think about "giving up the lead", which is a bridge concept I first learned from my father.

Re: an odd 3/5 hand from the bike

Why waste the possibility of MP folding before the river by going all in the dark? Let him see if he makes a straight or trips or full before deciding to call a TPTK? doesn't make sense.

Re: Flopped trips and got checkraised on flop...what\'s your line

nice example of your theory of leading out with trips b/c few believe you have them. Looks like villan assumed you were bluffing or semibluffing an 8 and would fold to his reraise.

Re: Anyone Muck this set?

I'm inclined to agree with chuddo's concern that he might have been drawing to a little open ender that completed with the six on the river. It is more in line with his betting. It would have been...

Re: How effective is collusion?

Just to clarify my intentions for asking: I'm not interested in running a scam -- I enjoy the game a lot and am working to develop straight-up skills. I only ask about cheating simply to identify or...
