    1. While AK does go down in value, it never goes down in value enough that it isn't worth raising and re-raising. TPTK is a good hand in limit, and weak calling-station type players will pay you off...

    FTP and Stars had a decent, though not iron clad, case that online poker was legal. They could have brought a court case challenging the DOJ's interpretation, which, if...

    Well, first of all this is a pot limit hand, so you probably should post this in the Beginner's Circle (i.e., no limit) to get the best feedback.

    If you can't bring yourself to b/f, then I think either option is equally bad-- b/c is a donation, and c/c...
