Congrats man :)

Tight like a baby turtles anus early. Raise your big hands, limp your small pairs, suited connect, in late position with lots of limpers loosen it up to suited one gappers or offsuit connectors but...

When I first started playing poker I played a few home games, did ok and got the bug. I put 50 bucks into poker stars six times and busted every time, not surprisingly, I was playing either .10/.25...

Your read here is paramount, if he's TAG you throw on the brakes, if he's a calling station you slam it. If he's LAG preflop and then meager post flop I think I still slam it. If he's lag he may be...

That's exactly what I am looking for. Investing sites are arguably worse than porn sites for ridiculous advertising, self promotion and airy bullshit, I would like to avoid the bullshit. :)

Warren Buffets of FTR I beseech you, gimme some advice. As of about six months ago I was a pretty big investment noob, since then I've been educating myself and I have run into a nice situation, but...

I agree with dman, I posted an HH awhile back and just edited down to the two hole cards on every hand occasionally mentioned position or if there was a raise if it was a hand I should have played. ...

You don't think a player w/o the 9 is likely to fold the river? Speaking strictly from an odds perspective, this is a profitable play on the river if it works half the time. I'd suspect it would,...

1) Live tourneys have less players. 90-100 is usually a good sized field.
2) Live tourneys at low stakes, even in respectable casinos, often have insane blind structures. A 50 dollar tourney is...

That is tourney poker, that is tourney poker more often than it isn't. Tourney poker isn't winning every time, its putting yourself in a position that you can win if the conditions are right. ...

I started in on this recently, haven't finished it yet, however. Each below is its own column. The major difference between this and more traditional spreadsheets is the information at each blind...

I think SteveO nailed it. AxS is a great hand from the CO or button with a few limpers when the blinds are low, even with a raise and a few callers its great. Playing it out of position or with a...

Solid play, but I would have bet bigger on both the flop and turn. Unimproved tens are fragile with that board, practically half the deck is a scare card with about 1/3 of the deck being big scare...

Higher blinds or fewer players (Preferrably both) and I'll try and pick up this pot, but its really not worth doing in the above example. Out of position, questionable hand, nothing in the pot. The...

So I started playing stud awhile back, won a very low stakes MTT using a paragraph of strategy I heard somewhere but never really got into the game, on a whim I loaded up a 1/2 stud game in the...

The check behind on the river is fine, no reraise on the flop is a huge leak.

Here's how it breaks down:

You, 1600 bet, gets two callers, thats a big fucking pot. Homeboy bets out to try...

His general issue is building a stack and mentioned he's busting out a lot on short stack desperation, as far as I am concerned stack building starts starts at level 1 and doesn't stop. In some...

One is filled with tighties that think A8s is a bad hand from UTG, the other is filled with guys that will call an AI with A9o on a KQ3 flop. Can you figure out which is which?

Here's the problem with suggestions for MTTs:

Lets say I declare "Play tight in early levels and then apply pressure once antes kick in and teh guy on your BB or SB when you are button aren't...

To be competitive in rebuys on average you're dropping 4-6 rebuys. Even if you play it tighter than a baby turtles anus you should still drop three, minimum for the initial buyin, second rebuy (to...

Not really, you bet right around the pot size preflop, which is good, you have to weed out a few limpers. Actually based on the number of callers you got you probably could have thrown out a larger...

You have to pick your live tourneys wisely. Most live tourneys that are lower stakes (Up to about 100 bucks) have a blind structure that is so retarded that it's really not worth playing in, they...

Raise the turn, you have to know where you stand here, absolute must or jackasses will take stabs at the pot with any two here it almost looks like you're playing scared of 56, a raise here will tell...

Definitely bet the turn. If he has any kind of outs he's going to call a min-raise and a min raise is good money to you as a short stack, if he caught anything he's also near commited to call a...

Was there still wild dead money action in the first few levels or were folks more reserved because they had deeper stacks?
