Thanks! Although FTR decided to drop this series for now..
I guess the fact that he's a good regular really made the biggest difference here. This would be a pretty easy lay down against a fish,...
You seem to be unable to follow a conversation so maybe this will help you:
If your ABI is in the $20’s range and you are playing a $134 tournament then it’s perfectly reasonable to pass up a...
Yep, very standard situation, player7 is a fish and player9 is isolating him, which means that 3-betting here is optimal, but if money is a factor then a fold is fine too.
Yep, flatting seems perfectly fine here.
I'm sorry, but flatting here is a much weaker play than 3-betting and no matter how good you are post flop there is just no reason to get tangled up in a spot like this nearing the bubble, but I'll...
Sorry if my reply seemed smug to you, I can assure you that it wasn't intended that way :)
I guess you are right though, I just touched on the factors that matter to me here but I didn't explain...

Playing the bubble requires understanding of who to exploit and when as well as knowing how to not get exploited. In this series you will see a review of...
In some spots - yes, however, I can't imagine why I would want to do that with AJo OOP vs 2 players with 23 bb's (and nearing the bubble?)
In this particular spot I'm going with fold > 3-bet/fold >...
Seems like an easy shove and I'm pretty sure it's +EV according to ICM. I agree that if this min-cash is somewhat important to your bankroll then you can pass this up, but the optimal play here is to...
Easy fold :)
I would like to know this too, as well as some info on MP1 and MP3. Without such info this seems like an easy fold to me. Shoving seems a little too drastic with 23 bb's left and 4-betting here can...

Another very exiting weekend is in the books and the action was as hot as ever! Perhaps the biggest event of the weekend was the conclusion of yet another MiniFTOPS series with the $750,000...
Poker 1. Golden Spade Poker Open Running from September 9 to November 3, the Golden Spade Poker Open will have over 100 events and award $1.5 Million Guaranteed. With the biggest prize pool in the...
1. Another MiniFTOPS is in the books! MiniFTOPS XXIII came to a close this weekend with more than $1 million paid out! The series ended with the massive Main Event which drew over 10,000 entrants and...
Thanks, but I decided to go for an external mic since the last headset failed me miserably :D
Not really, only a few cash game regs. I've been mostly focused on work/grinding since I got here, so didn't have much time to get to know local regs :)

Good point, I didn't even think about the odds of hitting the flush if we were to pass it up on 7th. I guess the calculations are correct, so yeah, I guess I was wrong, passing up the flush in both...
Would you sit down in a high stakes NLHE cash game where 4 opponents were world class cash game pro's and one would be somewhat fishy?
What games besides NLHE do you consider your specialty?

Just downloaded it, seems decent, I've send you a friend request, not sure how to start multiplayer games though :)
My id is )Filik( if anyone else wants to play :)
Very true, at this point there is only a 14.7% chance to catch the royal in hand 1 or SF in hand 2 and that alone is not enough to justify passing up a flush here, but your opponents holdings might...
I calculated the odds for one street only, I don't think it's worth calculating percentages for 2 cards to come since 12th street can bring a lot of cards that will change the percentages...
If Barry puts the queen in the top row, then there is a 13.3% chance to foul on the middle (4 outs to the foul, a 6 won't be a foul since it will complete the bottom line instead of fouling the...
