Re: AA on xyy board (WA/WB?)

[ QUOTE ]
You pick up AA in MP and raise. BB calls. No read on BB.

Flop comes 55Tr. BB leads into you with a bet (1/2 pot to pot). You call.

Turn is a 2, making the board 55T2r. What do you do...

Re: Top two on coordinated flop, facing a raise.

No, I wasn't interested in making him fold and I wasn't upset at his boat. I was interested in top two pair on a scary board. When would it be correct to lay it down? (I'm thinking that with our...

Re: Top two on coordinated flop, facing a raise.

Well, here's the deal: I was the villain and I had KQ off for the nuts on the flop. My cards were pretty easy to play, but his were more tricky. He (the 'hero') called and hit a ten on the river to...

Re: Top two on coordinated flop, facing a raise.

Well, like I said, the calling station gave off a very clear tell that he was folding. I keep wondering-- is top two a through ticket to the river here, if it was heads up? Could you get away from...

Re: Top two on coordinated flop, facing a raise.

So if it was heads up, you'd likely call?

Do people generally agree with this?

Top two on coordinated flop, facing a raise.

It's .50-1 NL. All relevant stacks are about fifty bucks. Table is been mostly passive and loose pre-flop. Hero is in MP and limps with 10 J off. MP 2, a loose and passive player, limps and the...

Re: National Poker Fixation On The Way Out?

I saw something very surprising when I visited a local bookstore (for New Yorkers-- it's the one on Prince off Mulbury and Lafyette, I think. I don't remember the name, it's not a big chain.) What...

Re: Phil Gordon\'s Little Green Book

I do find the writing style to be somewhat irritating and it is possible to write in first person without using 'I' in every sentence. However, I think the content is pretty good. A nice suppliment...

Re: NY poker rooms

Several places advertise on Criag's list. Look under 'community,' search for poker.

Re: Bringing down the house (MIT students story on blackjack)

Also, everything in that book is total nonsense. In addition to being very poorly written, it is my belief that it is made up. Absolutely not one thing in that very irritating, trashy novel has the...

Re: Getting in in NYC

Go to Craig's list. Look up Poker under activities. There are lots of clubs that are advertising themselves there, and you won't have any problems. If there's a particular place you want to get into,...

Re: Favorite Documentary

I loved the Weather Underground. Also, Off The Charts: The Song Poem Story is a really funny doc. Did you ever see those ads: 'Turn Your Poems Into Hit Songs?' A very funny look at both sides of the...

Re: Is there a typo in HOH II

Yes, exactly. This play wouldn't work on weak players.

Re: Is there a typo in HOH II

Here's one that slowed me down. In the first problem hand, page 65, it says, "This approach is more effective against weak players than strong players. At a table of strong players, a call is more...

Re: Don\'t we all want the same thing?

But to be clear... there is a problem at least every few pages. Page 318 "The Big Blind calls..." The big blind has folded. They mean the small blind.

This is the last one I"ll mention. I promise.

Well, an awful lot has been written about this. Here’s my two cents: I’m glad Mason posted the fixes for Vol 1. My feeling is that these fixes really only represent the tip of the iceberg. Most of...

All right, I take it back. Upon looking at the example, I think he means to put 70K in.

Well, that's what I used to think, but by studying the examples, I now think that the 'to' is implied, weather it says it or not. So I think he means you shove $50 in (calling 20 and raising 30. I...

Re: Home Game Two Pair

That's probably right. I should have led the turn. I was considering a check-raise depending on the reads I got, but after Blaz's ten bucks, I could only raise another five fifty, which would have no...
