Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
Though Irie has become an adequately successful 22 player of late (despite struggling at the 10's for more than a year), he has contributed very little to this forum. Even with your shaky start put aside, he's not the type to go out of his way to be helpful - best to look elsewhere [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
I thought I was paying a reasonable amount of attention to the forum, but now I have the feeling it is swimming with gimmick accounts and inside jokes that I don't get.

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
I think the blocking bet's a very commonly used tool, but understanding why it works requires either brute force math (to prove +EVness) or sitting around and thinking about it for a while. I'm pretty sure many people on this forum have done neither, which isn't really a bad thing, it just means it's a thing that we can talk about without boring people.
The same thing is not true about value bets or bluffs.

Re: Negreanu should read the STTF
Actually, they talk about blocking bets a lot more in the MHNL forum.
Seriously though, I wasted two minutes of my life reading the replies to your post (and typing this).

It's called a blocking bet, no0b, and 7,000 18-year old yahoos on this forum know about it. Seriously, though, the article describes the play of a hand that is quite interesting. It's posted on pokerpages.com. Irieguy [/ QUOTE ] Not only that, but blocking bets are so well known at this point that they often don't work anymore.

http://www.chrisferguson.com/cgi-bin...update.cgi?s=2 [/ QUOTE ] I noticed that Chris never mentioned the words "blocking bet". Should he be reading STTFs too?
