Re: Hypothetical Time Travel Question

Anybody catch the news story of the college student (MIT?) who held a widely-advertised party for all time travellers? I guess he thought that if time-travel were possible, people would've zapped...

Re: Sick of giving these pots away

I do this on occassion, but I think a very important key to this hand is that you did NOT cap PF. I think when you do so, you are more likely to give the impression that you are uberdonking or just...

Re: I\'ve been calling down too much

As bad as the results seem, just remember this is where you pat the table, say "Nice hand", and get $$$ in your eyes. If he will call a PF raise with 34o and Heckle & Jekyll will run to the river on...

Re: Misplayed or bad luck?

On the river, I don't think you can cap. AJ, A8, A3, JJ, 88, 33 all beat you. AK is just a chop.

Re: AJo against milesdyson

Re: Stop and go against the world\'s tightest player.

If he has only seen 3/55 flops, I think one issue is that you need more information on his play. To that end, if you think he's so snug, I like check/calling down after his raise. It does seem...

Re: Crackyerjacks!!

I would need him to table his straight, set or 2 pr before I fold. I like the above line: Call if he's been showing any 2 card and raise if he's been showing quality hands.

Re: Flop nut flush draw, turn pairs board, Villains get aggressive.
