Getting Started in Stud
It is widely accepted amongst poker players that it is better to know how to play a plurality of games as opposed to one.
For this reason, I want to take a bit of a break from Texas Hold'em and...

Re: Bottom set... too aggresive?
It seems that many, many posts here contain questions about things that should be extremley obvious. You have a full house-- do you honestly think that you need to slow down?
The only mistake you...

Re: KK on this turn
You are almost certainly beat here. Your only GUARANTEED out is the Ace of spades, otherwise, if any other spade falls, anybody holding the Ace(spades)-rag has you beat.
Also, because your playing...

Re: AKo on the BB
I'll keep it simple--
You ALWAYS raise with AKo, even if it's been raised already. Your equity edge is too high to pass it up.
With so many players left to act, I don't have a clue why you'd...

Re: No Set But I Bet
Clever rhyme scheme--
It all depends on your players. If your playing at an ultra tight/passive game, you can bet a little more than usual with pockets if nobody shows aggression pre/post flop--...

Re: A3s in the BB, what\'s my flop play
Yes, calling too often is a costly mistake-- but you've got top pair! Folding too often is an even worse mistake. I think you could easily raise this flop.
Here's how I figure:
The times to...

Re: Rake Effect on Implied Odds
Okay, that definitely helps-- as I'm sure in my local cardroom where all that's offered is $1/$2, the rake makes a HUGE difference.
Now I'll definitely need to pay attention to how many chips the...

Rake Effect on Implied Odds
My general question is, at a B&M Casino where you have to count the amount of bets for yourself, doesn't the rake have an immediate correlation to your pot/implied odds? For instance, if you believe...

Re: Small pairs, many players
Very easy answer, my friend--
When many people are in the pot, and your holding a small pocket pair like a pair of 4's, you want to limp into the pot. And 12% of the time when you flop a set is...

Re: Rake Deduction from Pot Odds
So would I be correct if from now on whenever I attended a B&M, I would count the pot, then subtract whatever amount of bets the dealer moved to the rake?
That seems to make sense, and I hope it's...

Re: Tough Spot
I'd call. I don't see why you'd bet with Ace-high, then fold with top pair. You'll lose sometimes, but you've got top pair.

Calling the turn bet instead of raising was good for a few reasons. As previously noted, based on the sudden raise it is likeable that your opponent either caught trip 7's, a flush (though I doubt...
