Don't you suppose that he was on some kind of crappy draw, like 23s or something, knew he couldn't possibly win and didn't want anyone to know the kind of hands he'll play (and raise with?).

I...

I like the raise option if there are all limpers. I like to look for "safe" ways to show that you shouldn't screw with my blinds. I make the raise big enough to win right there-I'd prefer not to...

Hey,

I haven't posted in awhile, but I kind of wanted to see what people were saying about that hand and how Spirit Rock played it. You can say what you want about calling down with KJ and AAJ on...

If you're against a good player, who knows that you know that what he's doing looks like a steal think about:

A re-raise that doesn't put one of you all-in leaves room for him to push you out of...

And always try to sit to his direct right so you are in good position to take his blinds. Never let him stay in the hand without having to put chips in the pot.

Lots of stuff going on here, so I wouldn't just write this off so easily as "one of those things". Of course, you need to know something about the player, but this is a pretty stark set of actions...

KTo. Caught a T on the river.

I probably made a bad decision in not pushing my whole stack if I was going to raise. I think the dude would have folded if I had done that. Instead, I raised 3X the big blind and got the all-in...

I echo what others have said. You're relatively foot-loose and can make decisions based on what you want. I can't, I've got a family to feed.

If playing poker is what you want to do, I say go...

Situation:

180 players left in a 750+ seat tournament. $10 buy-in. Average stack is 3500, several stacks at my table bigger than that. I've played two hands so far, my cards have just sucked. ...

Best in Show, rented it on DVD, what a dog.

Stars. 30 and 50 SNGs, 1/2 NL, 3/6 Studd

Hey, stop giving Hump crap, Krapp

I didn't know that. Thats amazing given they are a big rabies carrier here. The do some good, eating mosquitoes and all, and they usually aren't a problem. But if they get in the house I think you...

That is hilarious.

If you release it outside it will likely just come back. I'd get a net, or blanket or something, put it over the vent so the bat can't escape inside your house, take the vent off and use a golf club...

maybe even longer. those old guys take a long time to heal, and some never really make it all the way back. :P

Went through the same thing, but it was a little worse for me. Both my wife and I were previously married, and her ex was a committed outdoorsman. He was fishing and/or hunting all the time. A big...

After reading Tournament Poker for Advanced Players I decided to give tournaments a try again. Mixed results. Just missed the money on a $5 two table. Took a bad beat in a $30 rebuy event when A8...

I'm playing an average of about 2 hours per day now, but am really playing about 4-6 hours per session and only 2 or 3 days a week.

I really cut back when school started and August has absolutely...

Michael, its no wonder you're winning these things. Your strategy sounds solid, and it takes an awesome understanding of it to put a great post like that together.

Congrats man, keep it up.

Could we throw her in the FTR League prize pool?

Wow. Glad I said he was a good player but a whiner.

I'm not gonna second guess a guy with nine bracelets, but the thing I hate about his whining is that he often is whining way too loud in public...

I agree he was pretty passive with his set, but was I too passive?

My thoughts. I played AA like I typically would given the flop and my position.

3X raise pre-flop to get the trash out,...

For posts that I want to come back to I just keep the link in a word document with an explanation of why I am interested in it.
