Default There are no dumb questions: Oh yes, there are.

Some examples from usual MTT, of course there are satellite situations, and really weird situations in the money when some of these questions could appy:

1- Player A raises, player B calls, player C reraises all in, he covers me and he's a very good player. Should I fold AA preflop?


2- After the flop, I have the nuts (NL holdem), somebody put me all in, Should I call? (Bad beat ahead)
After the turn card, I have the nuts, somebody put me all in, Should I call? (Bad beat ahead)
After the river card, I have the nuts, somebody put me all in, Should I call? (Depression story ahead)


3- I'm a 0.5-1 limit holdem player, I want to start playing MTT, Should I go ahead and pay the entry fee to play in the next WPT event? I think I have a good chance, I won once a family tournament (and I have a big family!). I played specially good when heads up with my grandma.


4- Blinds 10-20, I'm in the BB with 72o, with 5k chips; everybody folds to the LB who has about 6k and he goes all in. Should I call?; because my feeling is he has nothing.

Could anybody tell me, how to become a succesful MTT player by this weekend? I'm planning on winning all the biggies this Sunday.


5- If you need a card to make a flush after the flop; could you improve your odds if you concentrate enough in the card you want? If so, by how much? Does anybody know a good book about how to guess (with a reasonable chance) which cards are coming?


6- I have 2 roommates, and we ended playing in the same table, same tournament. We were sharing information about the cards we hold, and deciding the best way to help each other in order to extract the most chips from the other suckers in the table. Do you think this is cheating?

7- I have not made the money in the last 800 tournaments I have played. (But I was close 3 times !)
Am I doing something wrong?

Please add some more.

I make the money in 97% of the STTs I play, but so far I'm only making the money in half of the MTTs I play. What am I doing wrong?

It's the 3rd hand of a Party $5 buy-in. No reads. 7,000,000 runners. I have KK in the BB and 2 people go all-in in front of me. I can't call this can I?

I've done a search, and I've read all the AA preflop threads, and I know that you are not supposed to fold AA preflop... but THIS is different. No really. I swear. Why is everyone picking on me? You guys are a bunch of meanie-heads.
