Duly noted bikes. Thanks for the response. Anyone have opinions on Mandalay Bay's poker room?
Hey guys, I used to be an active member in the Beginner's Circle until my job and school took over all of my time. Anyways, I'm in Las Vegas for work and I'm at THEhotel @ Mandalay Bay and I was...
So just strictly viewing profitability, they are the same. The only other factors that come into play then are things like variance, rake, risk and bankroll considerations (I realize that these play...
Thank you for making the analogy work so much better haha.
To the last part of your retort, EXACTLY! Yeah I realize the comparison isn't 100% solid. I mean boxing and poker are two very different sports. And I didn't mean you should give up table selection;...
I was re-watching the whole Rocky series and found a hidden gem in Rocky 3 so I thought I'd share it with the BC. Rocky after the 2nd movie became the world champ and successfully defended his title...
Don't have too much time so I won't list explicit ranges till later.
PF - I like raising 4xbb especially at micro's, but not a big deal that you bet 3xbb.
Flop - Villain's calling range otb is...
LOL I just read the previous posts. I hope my graph doesn't spur anymore arguments about redlines. "Look at xpaand! His redline is positive and look how he did in June!" :(
Yeah I guess I should post my graph (aka freaking downswing) as well.

Thanks guys. I'm still having a lot of trouble I guess figuring out the best cards for different bets. I felt like AJo was a "bluff" because I view it as a weak holding and I bet it as "if he raises,...
Villain was 18/9/inf over 22 hands. The only read I had on him was from the first of the two hands with what he opened with (I realize this gives the result of his hand, but it's kind of necessary...
^this. c'mon people. stop slacking and motivate the lesser motivated!

Thanks daven. What should be the way I think about it during play to figure out that I should have folded the turn and river. I mean obviously a lot of draws just became made, but if we are folding...
Yeah it's his aggression factor. The thing that made me think more than twice about this hand was how he c/c'd then proceeded to lead out every street after the obvious draw was made.
I've been having a really tough time since my return to Stars and I want to start improving my decision making and ranges. I'm posting an in-dept analysis of the hand and I'm italicizing anything...
Nice post. I feel like so many players think they understand this when they actually don't. But I think position is one of those things that you can "just do" (as in play more hands in later...
Seriously tho. How did you approach the studying of the game? Did you take one concept at a time or did you try to get an overview of the concepts? Did you start by eliminating your weaknesses or did...
Can you haz my babies?
Agreed. Except maybe not with the "add tables" part (only do that if you can still focus clearly on it). I usually have music breaks where i sitout for a couple orbits when I feel the need and I...

I got a new acronym to play by at the micro's: VSF. You may guess Very Shady F****** or Vagina Super Fun, but it stands for ValueBet, ShowdownValue and FoldEquity to me.
I just read a great post...
Had a very nice session today. Don't know what the results are (although I feel like they were VERY positive), but I was happy with most of my decision making. However, I realized that although I...
