Thank you, everyone, for your input.

Here is what I distilled from all the replies. Please tell me if I misunderstood anything. Assuming all the basics are taken care of (ie. entering a pot...

You are f*ing absolutely right about igoring the size of the pot. Damn it.

Maybe you are right about the other things too, but help me understand the situation where I raise him on a flop I don't...

Hello. Can anyone offer advice on how to best defend against this type of player?

The scenario:
Home NL game
Tournament Style with $20 buy-in w/ Rebuy
5-9 players to start

The problem:...

My wife was watching me play this hand. She urged me to call, but since calling the 500 chip bet represented 1/3 my chips, I decided to fold the pocket T. Here is what happened.

Bad News:
-Both...

Since we are speaking hypothetically, then No. Google or search the forums for "Slankskys Fundamental Theorem of Poker".

You only have 9 hearts that will help. The 2 remaining Aces are...

It's easy for me to say, but in that situation, I would have folded. Here is why:

1) He called a weak PF raise. This should tell you he has something moderately good. More importantly, making a...

The Scenario:

- The game is an MTT that pays the top 6 positions.
- There are seven people left at the final table.
- You have the 2nd smallest stack. appx. 1400 chips. Leader has 12000+...

But don't try it in too early of a position. In case you do get called (which, by the way, will invariably happen) you still want to have the advantage of position. Also, don't do it with junk...

This sounds like a good thing to me. Just stay out of their way if you don't have the cards, and exploit the action if you do. Either way, you are closer to getting ITM. :)

Loosening up your game makes it worse. Stick to tight play, and you will win. Since everyone folds to your raises because you are percieved as a tight player, then use it as an opportunty to...

Hahahahaha....that is the best argument against playing too many hands that I have ever heard.

I read that book too. It's just 'Phil-speak'. Personally, I have never heard anyone in the real world call it a 3 bet. lol.

Basically, Phil means that three big bets have been made in a given...

Thanks again CrunchyNuts.




Come on EricE, don't you like to gamble? lol.

Thank you. You guys are great.


Crunchynuts,

I like your math. Now, if I am to express this in odds-

100 / 41 (chance from your Inversion example) = 2.439 or 1 : 1.439

I take this to...

How did you calculate that? You didn't think I would let you off that easy did you? :)

drmcboy (or anyone else who cares to enlighten me),

I have a couple more questions:

1) I assume that 'rnd' columns mean random? As in 'rnd o val' = percentage probability that a random card...

Very Nice. Thanks.

My apologies if this has already been answered....

Question 1: How do I calculate the probability of pairing one of two random Hole Cards by the river. ie. If i have A7o, how do I calculate the...

Holy $%^& this is a tough one. I think I like checking here.

Klooless may have a suited connector like 67 giving him a set, but is scared of the spade on the River.

Enough with the suspense,...

On the other hand, a nice 2/3 to pot sized flop bet would have had one of these positive effects:

1) Assuming he has any sense, there is a great chance that King2King would have folded his...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the rule from 'Roberts Rules' is that the last player who took aggresive action (betting, raising), must show his hand first at a showdown. Any players calling...

Interesting. How did you figure that Jack high is the average hand? I'm not doubting the statement, just curious on how calculated it.

You are probably not the problem. Remember, luck is a big part of Poker, and this maniac has just as much of a right to get lucky as you do. Your pocket King story is simply a case of good luck for...

I have heard of people referring to a HoH chart. Is this something Santa brings you for Christmas and if yes, has anyone noticed the typo?

But seriously, what is a HoH chart?

Please tell me the secret of making $50 last for 3 hours at a Casino. :?
Maybe playing nickel slots? $50 sounds like just one Black Jack hand to me. Of course I am just razzing you. Good Post. :)
