Re: Flopped Q set, critique please

Flopped Q set, critique please
I have been doing ok at limit HE, and this was in my first venture into NL with real money. SB, UTG are LAG, few hands with BB. Check-raise on river caught me by surprise. How was my play overall?...

Maniacs, and more maniacs (low/no content)
Two nights ago, Ultimate, 0.5/1, 6-max, I joined a table where three players were capping every hand pre-flop, and capping every street after the flop. It was an incredible thing to see. In theory...

Re: Playing against loose opponents
I'm also new to 6-max and got in a 1/2 game yesterday on Ultimate Bet with some true maniacs. Three players were VPIP of 80, 75, and 70 and almost every hand was being capped pre-flop. I was...

This also raises questions for our hosts, Poker Source Online. How does this effect collecting PSO signup rewards? Clearly Absolute has changed their policy, what is PSO's response?
