Haven't read this thread in ages and am not sure if you're still doing this, Jason, but how's it going after all these years? :)

Haven't read this thread in ages and am not sure if you're still doing this, Jason, but how's it going after all these years? :)
Two follow up questions....
This is less about the math here, and more about how villains respond to steals (or bets on any street for that matter): Just because we can raise more and technically...
Thanks Spoon, as always. You should start your own training site -- you're knowledge of the game & teaching abilities are ridiculous. :) And that's MadMojo. Hope you're enjoying the pain killers...
Thanks, spoon. I think I get it. :) Cheers!
Yeah, but you can donk the turn or the river too, so technically I think donks could also pertain to do what you did postflop on the previous street (including flop and turn) regardless of preflop...
I've seen the term "reverse float" used a few places online (not in this forum, and it's not in the FTR glossary), but I can't quite tell if it's the same thing as a plain ol' donk.
Is there a...
This is great, MadNojo. Thanks! :)
So you're saying a merged range is only value hands? I was under the impression that it a mix of medium strength hands as well monsters and air. I guess not?...
I've come across these terms "merging" and "balancing" a bunch lately, and I'm not quite sure I understand the actual difference between the two, though I think they are closely related. Here are...
Thanks, spoon. I'll read your article in a minute after I try to digest this. Your example is more realistic, but let me see if I can do the math using my more extreme scenario of two nits in the...
I know that as a general rule of thumb the tighter your two villains in the blinds are, the more widely you should steal from the button. What I'm a bit confused about is how to calculate the sizes...
Thanks, griffey. That makes a lot of sense to me. I think I was a bit confused about this in part because when I was looking at the hand where I had faced a raise, I was noticing villains were...
Thanks, spoon! You should combine all your posts into an actual book someday. Bet it would be +EV. ;) Cheers.
Just ran into these two: The Poker Blueprint (by Tri Nguyen) and Dynamic Full Ring Poker (by James Sweeney, aka SplitSuit). Both are ebooks and seem pretty geared towards modern-era online poker. ...
Hey spoon, maybe you missed my question earlier.
Either way, would you recommend Vol 1 on it's own? Thanks. :)
I can't pretend to know much about let alone incorporate G-buck into my game, but here are a few articles I've just read. Maybe a few of you reading this post will want to check out to if (like me)...
Thanks! Btw, where are all of spoon's earlier articles? I remember from years ago that he had a lot of gems out there already -- and they were pre-2012.
What about your earlier stuff? I haven't playing or in reading the forums in a few years, but I remember you had tons of great pieces from the before 2013, no?
I tend to play full ring. Not that I never play 6max or am adverse to it. (Sadly, with so few poker site options in the US, I can't be choosey so I often find myself at 6max). You think it's...
Cool. Thanks! I did recently come across the term G-Bucks somewhere else, and now will definitely add it to my list ... my ever growing list of things to look up and try to understand about this...
It's been several years since I've played poker online. I was never all that good -- pretty much breakeven at micro & low limits. But I've gotten interested again and wanted to do some reading to...
Right, my scenario was that there weren't any obvious draws, so I have to assume my 2 pair is way ahead. (Should have mentioned that.) I do get the general idea that I want build the pot and...
I know there is not single, one-size-fits-all answer to this, but I'm just looking for a very rough guideline because I'm realizing I've been all over the place in how I play this and I've read some...
Ha! Well, if anything to be honest, not being a terribly good player at this point, I think I'd owe him some money. ;)
I just came across the term "Sklansky Dollars" (or "Sklansky Bucks") here at thepokerbank.com and a couple of other places online. I'm not positive, but isn't this theoretical amount of money you...
I haven't much played online poker in about 9 months and just started last week playing low & micro stakes cash games. Is it me, or do fewer & fewer people these days play Full Ring games? It seems...
