Re: What is the best movie speech ever?
I lean towards Glengarry Glen Ross (both Baldwin and Pacino) but Edward Norton's "F*ck you" speech to the mirror in The 25th Hour was great too. 25th Hour is probably the best movie I've seen in the...

Re: 50-100 River Check

Re: 50-100 River Check
I didn't have this knowledge at the time when I played this hand, but UTG+1 turned out to be a very loose player whose holdings in this spot could very likely be two overcards trying to peel. This...

50-100 River Check
50-100 Online. The three opponents in this hand are relatively new to the game, so I don't have much of a read on them. MP is severely underbankrolled for this game, if that means anything.

Big Pot Theory
Just a quick question, namely, how big must a pot be in order for "Big Pot Theory" to apply? Specifically, at what point does taking action to win a pot take precedence over any other consideration?...

Re: VOOM - the scoop?
If you're an HD fanatic, I heartily recommend it. It has three times as many HD channels as any other television provider. VOOM is currently having some financial issues, but rumors of its demise are...

AA featuring a slew of questionable decisions...
This is a hand from last weekend, when I got the opportunity to play with fellow 2+2er's Avid and Bunky. 20-40 at the Borgata.
4 Limpers to me on the button and I raise with red aces. I believe...

Re: tough flop 15/30
This is a hand that needs to be played extremely aggressively on the flop. You must raise, and if you are 3-bet, I like the idea of capping.
You should show this level of aggression for two...

Sklansky and others has found this section appropriate to talk about various philosophical issues. Since I respect those opinions a great deal more than I respect yours, you should go f*** off.
