Re: I didn\'t think this was possible

I was running at 3.6BB/100 at $2 $4 limit for 11k hands and now after 11.8K I am at 2.5BB/100!!! Still ahead of the game but brutal to have a losing session twice as bad as any winning...

Re: top pair vs. unknown
Looks good. I would never fold this, if anything a turn raise could be considered but I think after his flop cap it is wiser to just call down.

Re: The games are getting tough :-(
Clearly there is no more money to be made playing online poker. The games have dried up. Only sharks out there trying to take each others money. Maybe at .5/1 you can find some fish although I hear...

Re: some observations about the split
Nice. I was about to post the same. If you beat 5/10 for 2BB/100 while 4-tabling you could make a 5/10 BR into a 10/20 BR in 2-3 weeks easily (with decent luck).
So anybody who beats the 5/10...

Re: This is terrible, right?
Spewing? Yes, looks like it.
IŽd just call preflop and fold flop. Not a good spot to raise preflop IMO, loosie UTG will call 2 more always and 22 is not great 3-way. The flop is very bad for you,...

Re: some observations about the split
When this split was first discussed I played 5/10. Now I have played 100K 10/20 and have no plans to ever move down again. The same could be true for you experienced 5/10 players in a few months....

Re: I Used The Whole Time Clock On This River
I just cant believe how many think a river fold is correct. We have trips in a 3-handed game and the turn was checked through for crying out loud. MAYBE we lose this more than 50% but not by much (a...

Re: A few beats
I have had my aces cracked 163 times since I got pokertracker (in 200K hands). This is the second time I whine about it here so only about 1%. Beat that.

Re: Which book should I get??
If you seriously want to learn the game play a couple of extra hours and get them all, they are all good. If you still only want one I recommend SSH.

Re: River play
I really think you should raise this flop. If CO folds we may have cleared up our K outs and if he calls that is fine too. Also we might get the option to take a free card on the turn (or a free...

Re: KQ 30 HAND. I PLAY BAD.
Probably since everybody seems to agree here. I thought the 30/60 was even more aggressive meaning SB would not necessarily believe a river raise but call instead getting 13-1 with a 5 or even less....

Re: KQ 30 HAND. I PLAY BAD.
I am probably stupid (and I dont play 30) but could someone explain to me why the river call is so great? Because I would probably just go ahead and raise here.

Re: This Looks Like A Bad Beat.....Is It?
You played it perfect I think. To 3-bet you need to have the best hand something like 66% of the time. Do you?
He could have QJs, QQ, JJ and beat you.
Or AJ, KJ, KK, AA or something really crazy...
