Problem is there are no really safe ways to build a stack. You must get your money in when you think you have the best of it. Poker is gambling. In that case I would have paid the better hand off...
I could think of some times I could lay that hand, none of them could ever happen unless both me and my opponents had stacks at about 1000*bb and the pot was pretty small. If you can't valuebet a...
Also, many slowplayed pots ends up in really tiny pots since the opponent realizes he's beeing played and knows his top two aint no good. He's got no wish paying off on the river when the pot is only...
TDM100: Nice to hear you are doing well. I still consider slowplaying to be a weak play in most cases. Still people seems to be using it almost routinely as fast as they flop a hand that's better...
I know, I read your post. That's my point. The flop bet was a bit weak, shoulda been at least the size of the pot. This is one of the rare occasions I think overbetting the pot is justified. You are...
I would slowplay a boat or better against a maniac. Against the average guy who calls too much and bets too little I would value bet it all the way. The pots has to be built.
I ignore the preflop call. On the flop you should have raised pot at least imo. No point in playing a flopped straight semi-slow. It's too fragile and you are giving the other guy implied odds. On...
Super System is not outdated other than the blinds- and antestructures imo. Trying to copy the strategies described in the book to play on low stakes online tables is not a very good idea though....
I doubt slowplaying is right very often but if you really succeed in picking the craziest maniacs on the net then it could work out fine sometimes. I like to get the money in while I'm still the...
It's very hard to answer for NL/PL since it's much more situational than in fixed limit. Starting hand charts is mainly for fixed. If your opponents are very loose you can play a couple of more hands...
If you make a big score that boosts your bank roll then give it a shot. Why not? You should be able to get an ordinary job again if everything else fails right?
However, I think as well as Luck...
I think this especially points out a very important fact. Don't play over your bank roll but especially don't play with an overdimensioned bank roll!
If you play on a level that's too low...
You could use that phrase. :lol:
opps - you are correct. my bad.
also, for using a comma when you SHOULD be using a decimal point, i'm going to have to fill out a Banning Request Form on you. :lol:
if i remember correctly,...
Your excel-calculation seems to be accurate just that it calculates after 364 days since you start with 100 on day one and no addition on the first day is done. After 365 days the amount should be: 3...
If you put it like this: Amount of money = 100, factor = 1.01, and number of days = x. Then you will get the amount by:
New capital after x days = 100*1,01^x
If you read my post again you will see that I'm not talking about slowplaying big pairs. I just pointed out the fact that you don't want them to know wether you hold a big pair or something else when...
Much depends on the situation. I don't raise every hand the same way every time. I mix it up depending on my position, how many people have limped or bet ahead of me, and how strong my hand is. I...
This is not very good imho. If you raise high pairs bigger than other raise hands people will soon get a good read on what you're holding. But if you think you will get called you should off course...
Which is what I object to. If he really thinks the guy is stealing then a reraise or a fold are the only two moves imo. If he thinks he's on a high pair calling might be right since he expects to get...
With this...I totally agree. Just that you said that if you expect he's on a steal this play was right is a completely different thing imo. If the guy is a player who only raises good hands then a...
Well Triptanes, did I get it right? :P If you suspected a steal you played wrong imo. Your hand couldn't beat the median steal hand. You got real lucky and flopped a straight. You must expect your...
I totally disagree with this Ripptyde. If he suspects a steal he should re-raise or fold imo. Why call if he thinks he is in stealing mode? He can't beat most "steal hands" with that hand preflop. If...
There are plenty of fish at the higher limits of NL as well.
The main issue is which is the right game for you. I think you should have a pretty good knowledge of both fixed and NL and PL to be a...
More decisions = good for the good player && bad for the bad players ;
