Re: AKo UTG
it's the number of combinations of each hand.
For example, the AJ x 12 means 3 more Aces and 4 Jacks give 12 combinations of AJ.
for the QQ x 3, there are 3 queens left, so 3 combinations.

Re: A Sklansky hand
I'm pretty sure you're talking about a hand that DS posted where he had KQ and the flop was KQx. There were a couple differences between that situation and this one:
- DS was headsup, you have a...

Actually, only half of them seem to be - about half their chips are really old and the other half were replaced within the last year, so sometimes two stacks of 20 won't be the same height...

Re: Kill pot question
In the two chicago/nw indiana casinos (Trump and Harrahs), the action procedes in turn as normal, so the killer would act in his normal turn and last to act is big blind as well. I believe all the...

Re: The min buy-in regular
Yah, I see this all the time at Trump (Indiana, right near Chicago) and at all levels too - people buying into the $10-20 game for $200 or less. It seems real common at the NL game - in general, out...

Re: OT Where is this card room?
The dealers seem somewhat better at Harrah's, although the Trump ones are showing noticable improvement for the worst ones.
If you're into lower limites, Trump spreads a $3-6, Harrahs does not.

I agree, if he is truly LAG, and the limpers are terrible (and he knows it), then he's probably raising any (suited) paint here...so in addition to your hands, things like KQ or QJ or JT are all...

my initial "feel" was 10-15%. After thinking for awhile, I feel the number is 10%, possibly lower, for his bluffing % to make folding correct in big pots. Of course my thinking involved math....

Re: Do you verbalize your actions at the table?
I usually verbalize everything, but not in an annoying, look-at-me kind of way. Whenever I'm going to raise, I always say "raise", just in case I missed a kill/half-kill pot....
also, i always...

Why in God's name would they actually pay off your river raise? What do they put you on, AJ?

The cast of characters in this $10-$20 game includes 3 other solid players, about 5 too-loose-ish players (4 of which are very passive), and 1 ok-ish player. Typical pots were 3-5 players for 1-2...
