Re: Anyone ever successfully skipped a limit?
Thank you for wasting 15 seconds of my life directing me to that useless post (and the 30 seconds it is taking me to write this reply). Now I have to go do something highly productive to make up for...

Re: Anyone ever successfully skipped a limit?
Actually, a negative answer would be completely reasonable and even expected.
However, I would appreciate a coherent, thought out explanation, like
"I tried something similar and felt I was...

Re: Anyone ever successfully skipped a limit?
You forgot one word:
maybe
Obviously, if I was confident that my win rate was accurate I would have already made the move to 15/30 and not have bothered writing the thread in the first place. ...

Re: Anyone ever successfully skipped a limit?
Actually, there is another very good reason, $$.
As it stands right now for me my comparative $$/hr at various stakes are 15/30 (10,000 hands) > 5/10 (100,000+ hands > 10/20 (35,000 hands), which...

Anyone ever successfully skipped a limit?
I played a lot of 5/10 SH, did very well. Then I moved up to 10/20 SH for about 35,000 hands. I have been beating the game, but at a much lower rate so that it definitely is a pay decrease. I have...

Mouse or Man??
Interesting spot.
Playing 10-20 6-max. I pick up AQo in mid position. UTG raises. He is typical 24/14 TA, not a rock, but he is gonna have a legitimate UTG raising hand in this spot, espically...

Re: How Times Have Changed...
I like to play against 30/20 LAG players. They 3 bet with dominated hands like KJo and defend their blinds with dominated hands like K9o. If you are a good 23/17 player, all you have to do is...

Televised poker will never become a major sport
I just finished watching the Notre Dame /Michigan St. game. As much as I love poker and would like to see it suceed in the long term on TV, no poker telecast, live or taped, could ever come close in...

Re: Passive play theory vol.1
I play a little lower than you do, but in my games even the most passive player decides to 'take a stand' every once in a while and will donk bet all the way through w/ nothing or a draw. I find...

Re: I played really bad last night.......
In a live 15-30 game I think all 3 of these moves are ok, online probably none of them are. The average live 15-30 game (at least in LA) is loose, passive, and the players are predictable. So if...

Re: Hitting ROCK BOTTOM stories
Everytime I lose $1000+ in a day playing 5/10 HE shorthanded. I am beating the game pretty good, but this happens way too often and drives me crazy. Variance is a b*tch.

Re: 10/20 6max: sure to cause a ruckus - QJo
I am not sure what a raise would accomplish in this spot. All it could accomplish is getting a worse/drawing dead hand to fold and a better hand to 3 bet. Just call down, it is the same amount of...

Re: DrDizzOOM
I have him at 38/25. His postflop aggression factors are not particularly high because he will check/call down if he is faced by strength; he is not a maniac, mostly just preflop lag.

Re: Time for sexy?
If you were a strong, aggressive player would you go into check/call mode because a flush draw hit against a 50/0/1 player who showed no strength at all on any street. Probably not.
That said,...

I play with him a lot and have him as winning player and do not doubt he is. Although I am sure it is volatile, his style is very effective when he bets/raises very thin against passive fish who...

Re: Time for sexy?
I find in 5-10 that one of the most reliable tells is when an aggressive player bets the whole way and then checks when the obvious draw comes on the river. This means he hit his draw 95% of the...

Re: pokertracker numbers that everyone uses
It depends on the player. I like some of the 30/20 (actually they are more like 35/25) guys in 5/10 that play on auto-pilot. They will liberally 3 bet UTG raises from tight aggressives like myself...
