Yeah, I didn't think there was any way of ever folding, but it's just one of those spots where I had been forced to lay down all of my strong hands for hours and I wanted to make sure I wasn't just...

Yeah, I didn't think there was any way of ever folding, but it's just one of those spots where I had been forced to lay down all of my strong hands for hours and I wanted to make sure I wasn't just...
Sry, it was either a 4 or 5, can't remember. Should have been a blank.
So my friends and I have a little home game, $.05/$.10 binds $20 buy-in. A couple of us play casinos regularly, but most of my friends just like playing really small. Game tends to be pretty loose,...
As played I don't think a shuv on the turn is that bad. What's the biggest problem with low stakes players? They call too much too lite. As mentioned above against someone who thinks even less,...
This hand plays a lot easier when we 3 bet pre. As pointed out, we have position on the original raiser, but this puts us in that always awkward spot of being stuck in the middle if someone after us...
Here in So Cal limit cash is still alive to some degree at the B and M rooms. On any day you can find many $3/$6 and $4/$8 games and if you know where to look, you can find some bigger games as...
The rake is $3+$1 for the jackpot with an extra dollar if the pot gets over $40 or $50 can't remember which. No flop no drop, I tip, but don't over tip. I'd say less than about $20 doesn't get a...
Hi, I guess it's best to get all the details out there so I can get the best help possible. Sorry for so much back story.
I have played poker for maybe 5 years or so now, really studying a lot...
It's been mentioned, but I think it is worth repeting. You can be a dog to win the hand, but still have the most equity. In these cases, you should still play and still play aggressively. In very...
Yeah, I'll go ithout the fruit in my beer too. I just can't seem to enjoy it. I guess I like my beer to taste like beer not fruit salad.
Try Arigant bastard, also from So Cal, but very good with...
Yeah, it is a little complicated. However, as I said, the three of us consistently are beating these games, but we're all pretty broke. $200 is a pretty large investment and each of us on our own...
My two roommates and I have recently been playing a lot of smallish buy-in homegames all over town. To this point we've all just chipped in the $20 or $50 a game and our winnings and probably even...
I agree. So much of this has to do with stack sizes vs blinds vs average stack.
A lot of the problem that you’re having isn’t necisarily coming from your play at the final table, I think a lot of it is it sounds like you’re basically trying to stay out of the way and fold your...
You got rivered on line?! you must be terrible at this game! lol JK
Couldn't agree more about on line games. Donkfest 24/7. When you see people consistently pushing preflop in level 1 with hands like J/T and suck out my kings... happened to me twice today, makes...
I don't really like the idea of pushing preflop with A/T off, I probably dump it preflop with only 13 big blinds unless I've got a good read. This isn't a pot worth fighting over when I've just...
Thanks! I really thought it was stupid to be starting with 12.5 big blind for the first level. I'm going to have to start calling the casinos before I show up to the tournament to make sure the...
I under stand the conbcept of being short stacked and pushing or folding any time you have less than 10X the BB. I'm usually playing from the short stack anyway. :)
I think my main question is...
Last week I was in a live MTT for a $30 buy in. We started with 20 tables and everybody started the tourney with 2500 chips. However, the blinds started at $100-200 and increased every 15 minutes. ...
I tend to be a note taker. When I'm playing an SNG, I'll write down who wins which hand and if its show down, what they had and what they were called down with by the loser. I have my own sort of...
Hi all!
I played my 3rd SNG ever tonight and decided I really like this form of on line hold 'em. I've finished ITM in 2 out of 3 and got my first number 1 finish tonight!
I owe everybody here...
He was on poker stars? Wonder if he has an extra 1K for me!
This gave me a big laugh for the day. Thank you for posting it.
Oh, and no, I don't give him credit for sticking to his guns. ...
This is difficult because there are so many factors. Are you heads up at the flop? If you've got a few callers in the hand, your op that is drawing will be getting better for his money and be more...
The people who usually play this guy with me tend to pay him off more than they should. He's very aggressive and I try to have good selective aggression (got a long way to go,) and a lot of people I...
