Re: Blind stealing play -
Sounds like you're relying on waiting for cards that do not often come. Folding A6s on the button when folded to as a short stack is retarded, if you can increase your chip stack by +10% or more by...

Re: Big stack poker in the BB
5k doesn't hurt? Thats almost 20% of your stack and it makes that opponent that much more of a threat you would be less willing to battle it with as it would then just about halve your stack to lose...

My understanding is that that client cannot see the real money tables but otherwise is the same client in look and feel.
This is how they...

Re: $11 - 1st hand 22
Fold small pairs UTG preflop, even at low buyins.
Your attempt at leading the flop was very iffy. You tried to represent and were called.
Either come out strong preflop with the small pair...

Re: Pefect Blind System - I Need Help
"huge stacks" sounds to me like 50-60BB at that level? How many people do you have?
As more people play, you need to increase time per level otherwise you end up with far more gambling and you...

Re: Defining \"outplay\"
When you say "results oriented" I assume you mean in terms of monetary gain.

Re: How should I have played this flop?
Fold preflop, you have no idea what UTG is going to do. UTG limpers are always suspect unless you've been playing with the guy and know he's donked his stack up.
But since you called....

Re: Q
Define losers?
The chance of being dealt one of those big pocket pairs is very small. AA, KK and QQ are the top 3 premium (if you don't count AK which some put a little above QQ) which means that...

Got into a semi-argument with someone about what it means to outplay. My definition(s):
1) Getting a better hand to fold
a) By bluffing
b) By betting aggressively (A and B _are_ different)...

Re: Would you call? (2nd hand vs. All-in)
Short of an AA read, this is a call - but as this is the 2nd hand in, you can't possibly unless you have notes on the guy.

Re: Betting time and other online tells in SNG\'s
Buyin level matters considerably in how you view the timing of bets.
At lower buyins one can somewhat safely assume that what appears to be an automatic bet or check/call of a non-minimum bet is...

Re: $11 5 handed, 66
You have 10BB. Don't trick yourself and say 11. I see very little difference between 10BB and 11BB in this spot. If I'm going to play a hand when I'm at or less than 10BB, I'm pushing or I'm...

Re: ($5.50)Getting the most out of quads
Quads in an unraised pot, given the buyin, I minraise him on the flop. He bet 1/4 the pot. That kind of bet is a gutless feeler bet with a weak Jack.
