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...

I don't know. To answer that question, we'd need to know more about the DOJ's and Stars' intentions than we do now.
Not nearly this simple.
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...
Worst turn card in human history.
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.
Second, you need to try and post any reads based...
The correct play here is b/f, because if he check-raises this river, it ain't no bluff.
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...
1. Your converter sucks. :)
2. This is a really sick spot because you are multi-way with an ace on board. But if I decide there's a good chance I am good, I think a flop raise is basically...

And only once an hour in Commerce, though you can always scratch the deck and get a new one every 20 minutes too. :)
At game speed, I probably raise pf, b/c flop, check behind on the turn, and call the river.
But benny's got the correct line here. When they are scared of the 4-straight and wake up on the paired...
Wait a second, though. One difference between a cash game and an MTT is in a cash game, it's one long session-- you can in theory lose every hand for an hour on a bad beat from a fish who is calling...
The result that I care about is that I couldn't maneuver the hand into a favorable scenario.
Bear in mind there's a difference between:
1. I want gutshots to call (true)
and
2. I want 3...
6.50 10 table turbo sit and go on stars, Hero is in the hijack with AJ suited. Blinds are at 15/30, I've got about 1700 chips, haven't played any hands of note.
3 loose-passives limp in before me....
I don't mind the flop bet early in the tournament; UTG+1 might be calling with suited connectors or a small pair or some other speculative hand, or he or she may even just be a fish. So you probably...
What move?
This is a grunch.
1. I guess I call the river here (because usually that raise is quads), but there's a pang in my stomach because there's only one card in the entire deck that beats us (indeed,...
While it is entirely possible that these people noticed this tell, I have to say that the most important thing to remember about physical tells is how overrated they are. You learn much more about a...
Part of the issue here is the interaction between the fundamental theorem of poker and the issue of imperfect information.
If we knew what our opponent had, we would never bet unless better hands...
I'm not that surprised. I was going to post that the one thing I was almost certain the villain had was the 10 of clubs. Didn't know what the other card was, but the 10 of clubs makes the whole line...
In addition to this being a good exercise, I'm going to introduce this game at the next party I go to. I figure by playing proper strategy I can make a fair amount of money at this. :)
My understanding is that both HEM and PT3 have software updates that allow their HUD's to work with Rush (so long as you have a fast enough computer). Check their websites to download the updates.
I don't think it's even true in limit, against good opponents.
In before spoon says "put your opponent on a range".
But seriously, as a mostly limit player I have a ton of experience in blind defense. And what you have to do is hypothesize a pre-flop raising...
In addition to what spoon says (which, as usual, is exactly right), this is a situation where you might also reason backwards and ask yourself what hands, in BTN's range, do you beat here? (You...
It's often a bad idea. At San Manuel, let's say you open-limp your aces on the button, and the small blind calls and the big blind checks. That's $12 in the pot. Rake out the $1, and you have $11. If...
