Also, note that this hand becomes much easier to play if you would...

Re: Nice hand -- for me to poop on!
I just cannot see the point of three betting. Sure, you 'charge' a diamond draw, but the whole thing just looks like a slowplayed 9. If he has a Q then let him bet on the river.
It's one of those...

Re: Playing with high limit semi-donks

I guess I\'m biased...
Since I'm a contributing writer to Bluff. But I admit that all these mags are a little light when it comes to strategy.

Re: Outsourcing Poker
If a guy had access to 3rd world PhD's he would do much better by teaching them how to scalp/middle sporting events and putting them in front of the Don Best ticker.

Re: Sticky Bonuses and video poker
That's the first place I checked, but I couldn't find anything. And they're not accepting new questions /images/graemlins/frown.gif
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Sticky Bonuses and video poker
Hi all,
Has anyone crunched any numbers on whether or not it's profitable to play full pay video poker (e.g., 9/6 Jacks or Better) online when collecting a sticky bonus? The bonus isn't cashable,...

Re: 99 that set
Finding ways to save money when you're set-undered should be the absolute last thing you concern yourself with when it comes to improving your game. This is like holding the 5d 6d, catching a flop of...

My Bad
I thought the turn was a deuce, putting four to the wheel on board.
Everything Bicyclekick said is spot-on.

Re: Flopped a set -- did I maximize my $?
With the recent boom in hold 'em, you're going to find more and more players who play some hands very strangely that are going to run quite well for an extended period of time. Call it a 'selection...

Another Factor
Another reason why I think you're seeing more good players take some nasty downswings has to do with the way the game has changeed in the past 4 years. Back in 1999, when I used to play up at the...

Whuh?

One interesting line to take here...

Re: The Satellite.
I'm really not all that impressed with someone who calls with the boss full on the river when a guy bets the nut flush. You call him down with seven-high and win, that's one thing. But there's...

Re: 20-40 in tunica; got my fat ast kicked.
I know exactly what you're talking about. For years, whenever I got buried, I would always catch one or two cards near the end of a session to either pull me out or take a bit of the sting out of it....
