Re: I forgot how to play poker.

I cash out half my remaining bank after a downspell, when it's due to questionable plays rather than bad beats. This usually happens when I go on an ego trip : "Wow, I can beat 20000/40000 NL !".

10/20NL, TPTK against a half stack

Re: 10/20NL, TPTK against a half stack

playing a large stack is a dominated strategy.

The only problem with min buy-ins is that they also maximize the rake relative to played pot size.

I like 50BB, it's my confort zone...

Re: Multitabling 3 5/10 vs. playing 1 15/30

FWIW, my results have improved after moving from several party NLs to a single UB game (mostly 5/10 NL). I think a lot of the edge in NL comes from building a mental model of how you opponents play...

Simple tournament hand

Posted By Alix

Re: Simple tournament hand

With 5 players left to act, and 225 blinds for a 1530 stack, your raise factor is 5*1530/225=34. Thats a little too much for 77. At best, you're slightly +ev in chips, but -ev in $$.

Call or fold...

Poker Theory SNG Question

Posted By Alix

Re: Poker Theory SNG Question

1.84 x original equity, using the Sklansky-Peacock method (see 3 player case in TPFAP). Since this method slightly undervalues big stacks, you can probably treat this as a lower bound.
