FWIW, the Microsoft LifeChat headsets have always been a great quality/price for GS (at least for our US instructors). The price was over 2x when we tried to get one for a foreign instructor, so I...

This is definitely the norm. It's the reason that you need to multiply the stakes of an online game by between 10x and 25x to find an equivalent tournament in live play (in terms of skill level of...

If my memory serves, reported numbers were that the amounts owed out totaled ~185M and Stars paid ~240M. So it is entirely possible.

In the end, it is very likely that this will push things to the point that we finally get a clear ruling on the grey legal area under which online poker has fallen since at least 2000. Hopefully, it...

Really, drmc? I think QJTx is a much smaller portion of his range than XXss. It's a possibility, but not too much moreso than T9xx (assuming villian is bad, as we've been told).

As to the original...

There are a number of video series out that provide a decent general level of how to play. The best I've seen so far is at DeucesCracked.

Also, it may be a few months, but between myself and...

Hi guys!

I don't know if anyone here has followed the controversy on TwoPlusTwo, but there have been some shenanigans that involved one of the Grinderschool instructors. In an effort to keep...

There's actually some really interesting dynamics you can create, using the leverage you can create by building a big stack early in a rush session. I'm sure it's not as applicable at 10nl and 25nl....

A lot of people are failing to create a forum account before filling out the application for free membership. We can't activate an account unless the account exists. To make things go smoothly,...

According to the EV calculations in HEM for the ~11k hands I've gotten in, I'm at $700 below EV, primarily from the last 4.5k hands of PLO100 and ~500 hands at PLO200. How much weight should I give...

Preflop seems iffy here. I think implied odds demand a call on the turn. I can't imagine calling the river, but at the same time, I'm having trouble putting him on a hand. 86xx and 63xx are the only...

I'm really not sure what the right play is when you flop the nuts in EP in a multiway pot. Just calling seems dangerous. Raising the amount I did gives my hand away. Is shoving better? Min raise?
...

With a 13-out wrap, is it worth it to call the flop and hope the other guy comes along, or should I ship it? Shoulda shoved the turn as played.

The more I think about it, the more my history with SB playing back makes me think I should have bet the flop. Assuming you do, do you pot it, or make it like $30? Or some smaller amount to let BB...

SB was giving me no respect preflop. Postflop he was ~40% c/f and 60% c/r vs me in HU pots. Hadn't seen much multiway play. BB was ridiculously laggy, so I suspected he would only check here with...

The turn play was intended to be a bluff, FWIW. Perhaps a lead is better if that is the intent?

Minimal reads on villain. He's not a maniac, but that's basically all we know. I think he has a flush draw here a lot, possibly with a pair or better. Feels dirty to dump two pair, but maybe that was...

Hi guys,

For a variety of reasons (mostly related to outside careers and developments in personal lives), several of the Grinderschool 6-max instructors have cut back on the amount of content they...

It's been my inclination to play pairs JJ+ for set value regardless of sidecards, so long as the pot isn't 3-bet. I figured that I was likely to get my 10x postflop fairly easily in most cases. But...

Villain was 20/16 over the session, and at the time was showing quite a bit tighter than that even for the first 100 hands I had. I didn't think there were any 4xxx or 66xx hands in his range, based...

If we make a PSB, we're left with a 1/4 pot bet for the river...I'm not sure if that's what we want or not.

I think my bet-sizing on the turn here was pretty bad, as I clearly communicated that I was committed. If I'm making that declaration, I should have just bet as big as possible. Villain was tight and...

#1: No reads, as this was the first orbit of the session. This one is pretty up in the air for me. I don't know if I'm ever ahead of his raise, and if I have to hit my flush, I'm 20%. But bet-fold is...

Oops. Good point. I could definitely see a bet there being better, just to get better value if opp doesn't turn out to bet.
