Re: ($22): Hands like these are embarrassing!

I don't push here but later on I wish I had. . I wait for at least K high. When it arrives, to my dismay, I'm no longer first to act. Someone else has limped, raised or pushed before me....

Re: ($2000) L1, AK TPTK facing minraise
Nice outcome. Glad to see the best hand preflop held up.
I remember seeing that move with A4, etc. all the time at the play money tables a couple years ago. People did it constantly. Everything...

Re: ($2000) L1, AK TPTK facing minraise
This strikes me as exactly the way a weaker player would handle A8 or A4 that just made two pair.
Villain would limp UTG with such a dubious hand in the first place (especially if suited); call...

Re: Playing mixed games online
Put it in the same category as driving on the highway and eating lunch at the same time. You can probably get away with it every now and then, but it undermines both experiences.

Re: Calculating flush odds MY WAY.
Fair enough. We'd be gentler, but poker isn't a gentle game.
Stay sharp and you'll do fine. Don't touch the cards if you're feeling lazy.

Re: Calculating flush odds MY WAY.
Your version makes sense only if everyone else's hole cards are gathered up after they are dealt out . . . "de-spaded" . . . cloned for people who want to keep playing their hands -- and then...

Re: ($55) Reality check... obvious fold?

A preflop fold for 5 chips!? Come on. That's just silly.
Flop play however is bad.. you should go for a check/raise if you really want to play this hand strong, or more likely....

Re: ($55) Reality check... obvious fold?
I'm just a small-stakes player trying to learn from the way people play hands at higher levels, but this would be a pretty automatic preflop fold for me. Bad position and a hand that can't really...

Who shuffled, cut the deck, dealt, etc.?
The stakes are just big enough that -- for a live game in LA -- it's worth asking...

Re: Interesting (to me) 88 hand
pre-flop -- i'd consider a reraise after button raises. if button is playing a strong Ace or KQ, you'd love to go heads up with some dead money in the pot. Try putting pressure on the two limpers to...

Re: BB Play Against Steal Raises
Your non-suited hands look pretty reasonable. I might re-raise 88 and fold 33 and 22, but we're quibbling on the edge.
You're playing a lot more suited hands than I would. I'm assuming this is h/u...
