"Something Different - KK"
5/10 StellarWind's KK hand with Ahi monotone flop - bet flop vs WA/WB line. Thanks MrWookie for linkage. dietlime got there too and i forgot to thank him in last weeks digest. So woo to dietlime too!

"lines bad players take that good players misinterpret"
another excellent post by Guru, worthy AGAIN of going into the Psych forum. This guy is gold...and i'm glad Guru posts them here instead of Psych! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

"Preflop quiz"
Trix takes some screenshots for us to describe our PF play.

"The Merits of Check Behind on the Flop In a HU Blind Steal"
Toss has a debate about strategy for blind stealing. Superb link - thanks to leader.

"Customizing strategy to the opponent: The passive river guy"
3/6 PokerPadawan and Miles have a debate. Noone else did. I was wondering if others may choose to stick their oar in.

"Free card play - Do we use it enough? Discussion."
POKhER's sexy little discussion thread on free card plays. This week people have been stumbling over each other to make "post of the week" and it's made digesting money.

"River bet - AK unimproved"
5/10 Stellarwind discusses the two post-steal raise scenarios (flat call PF + c/r any flop, or 3bet preflop and lead flop) and this subordinates the river bet question. leader hooks us up here too.

"I folded TPTK for more one bet in a big pot on the river"
5/10 Scotty makes a river fold. They're in vogue. Cheers once again to leader. Hooray!


From Mid-High:

"Chart - EV of Calling on the River... (is folding as bad as we think?)"
MarkD sets up a chart of whether calling/folding rivers is +/- EV. An excellent and valuable thread, and a sexy thanks go out to POKhER for submitting the link.

"Today's Quiz at Cardplayer"
from MLHP, why not to continuation bet the turn with AK in order to call a river bluff. Insightful stuff, thanks to Guruman for this one.


[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
"The Overuse of the WA/WB line Out of Position
from lmn55d, a thread worth a good read. Thanks to Guruman for digging this thread.

"Rare Flop Slowplay with AA"
10/20 slowplaying AA discussion - thanks again leader.

[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
"A8o"
10/20, i quoth leader: "An Extensive discussion of donking vs cr the flop".

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
"Hand vs Josh. / Sthief / Moderator of doom"
2+2ers slug it out. Thinking on another level. leader wins the "most threads submitted to Pete" this week, which earns him a beer when I make it to the states.

Keep PMing links!! Please note there may be a delay with next weeks digest; I head off for New Year on Tuesday the 27th, and can't guarantee I'll find internet on the 28th - PM me many links, and I'll edit/post them from a net café or summat.

Thanks once again to leader, Guru, POKhER, dietlime and MrWookie for their help this week!
