Re: I\'m tommo and I\'m a poker addict
GPA and internships don't mean too much if you're planning on starting up your own business, and 200K in seed money is a lot more important. If you can earn that much money playing poker over the...

Re: Flopped straight -- decision
I was trying to keep the LAG around, or induce an all-in bluff from him. To this point, he was in every pot and betting very aggressively/calling with middle pairs and weak draws. I didn't expect...

Re: My new $11 strategy
Read more strategy essays on NL post-flop play. It seems like a post-flop issue rather than a PF one.

Re: Going pro Article
I haven't read past page 1, so forgive me if this is repetitive...but is 4K a month before taxes, health care, retirements savings, etc. a realistic salary? You'd get the same deal at Starbucks at...

Re: 109s - AQs Turn Play
I don't understand why a PF raise here would not be the best play. I'd probably raise it PF more than the OP. I understand the line of playing conservatively in the early levels, but I think it's...

Re: Where does the money come from?
If winners are rare in poker, and losers are common, then the winners only have to win a very little from each loser to make a nice profit. The losers can drop a $1000 over a year and, because they...

Re: Running Bad at NL
Also, try playing some other types of games at lower limits. This sometimes helps me take a break from one game when I'm running bad, while allowing me to keep playing. I switch from NL to Limit...

Re: Did I misplay the nuts when I had them?
The river raise was the death move. If you just call and win it's still a nice pot. I think a medium sized raise on the flop would have been good. The set probably would have pushed however,...

Re: Mini Step 4 Quandry
At this early level, I think you make at least a 2x pot bet to open after the flop. If they call with a 6 there then they're not playing well. I think in the long run you have higher EV by opening...

Re: AA - misplayed or \"that\'s poker\"?
This guy would have called a standard raise with KdQd. With AA you are looking for players to call with standard raises.
I don't min-raise with AA unless I'm HU or ITM already. My line of...

Re: Mini Step 5, Level 4 AQ Decision
a big disadvantage for me is that I bought in at $6 and worked my way up to step 5. I wanted that $200 for 5th. I know that I could win 1st, but not getting measly 5th, which I knew I could make,...

Re: Black v. Matusow Hand ... Good laydown??
I was thinking about this hand last night. My guess is that Black's estimation of Matusow's range of hands, based on MM's cold call of 350K PF, was something like 77, 88, 99, 10-10, JJ, KK, AA, or...

Re: Baby pair on bubble
I push. I think if you fold here the remaining players have good enough odds on any future push by you to call with mid-level hands. This is likely to be the best spot for you to take a stand.

Re: ESPN BLOWS it with this years schedule
Indeed, keep the bubble alive. ESPN is free marketing for players that can make a buck off the entertainment seekers. I'd like to see Raz though, that was interesting last year.
