Re: UB 150k anyone?

Busted out mid-30's. I was medium to short stacked the whole tourney and the smallest stack at bubble time (70th). I just tried to keep moving up and picking my best spots to get all in. Finally...

Re: Hands from the Bellagio ME when in a \"short\" stack

There is a lot of missing information here, but going with just the information provided:

Hand 1: Fold. Unless UTG is "putting a move" on me, I have hard time believing I'm not beat. The only way...

Re: Interesting satellite bubble hand

There are no formulas. Saying that first-in vigorish is the most important part of this isn't really thinking IMO. In these situations, it is quite possible that none of the big stacks will let him...

Re: no limit games so i play no-limit

Looks ok to me. I probably put in the big checkraise on the flop instead of the turn. But taking it from the turn, I do the same as you.

Edit: and there is nothing wrong with completing in the sb...

Re: Interesting satellite bubble hand

it is a tough situation. the min raise by utg+1 is a bad play regardless of his cards. chip stacks started off at 1k, so there are 94k in play and "average" is 9400. He is just under the average. he...

Re: Am I a donkey?

It is really important to have been watching the players. You get a very wide range of play in these 180 person tourneys. In some cases it is correct to get it all in with your QQ in this situation...

Re: Time to Devalue Big Slick (Cardplayer Article)

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what Abrams is saying. An important part of the value of AK is in the folding equity you get when raising/reraising with it.

A masterful play by Sirio11

This was from a couple of weeks ago in the FullTilt 60K guaranteed. I don't know if this rises to the standard of "Masterful" by many of you, but I was quite tickled by it.

Re: Interesting hand from the Bellagio 2k tournament

I think knowing relative stack sizes would help as would the general temperment of the table.

Against the hand range of a lone, desperate, short stack, I think your 1.5:1 pot odds are good.

Re: AQ top pair of Q, s/f draws on turn

Take my advice with a grain of salt. I have plenty of deficiencies in my own game. Nevertheless, I'll take a stab at this.

Preflop: fine

Who are the PokerStars NL200 players from here?

Over the last few weeks I've kind of settled on the Stars NL200 as my "home game". I'll go up to NL400 or down to NL100 if a table looks right.

I am a mediocre player looking to improve. I'm...

PS 200NL: AQ faces raise on A high flop. Standard line?

Villan had just sat down and played one hand prior to this one. In that hand he called a min-raise pf and folded to a bet on the flop. He bought in for $80 at a $200 table.

Stars NL200: AK w/ K high board + flush draw w/ 2 all-in\'s.

Button: aggressive player, probably willing to get all in with AK on an A or K high board. Fairly solid, but a bit of a gambler and possibly a little on tilt right now.

UTG: Haven't...
