Some lessons are cheap.......

some not so cheap, and you pay with your pride. How I learned to keep my emotions in check at the table: 20 minutes before I sat at the 3/6 full kill HE table they hit the bad beat jackpot for $15K. Guy that took the beat got $9K and proceeded to get DRUNK. Raised and reraised every pot every street...

Re: Some fun hands!

Bob, Nice freaking hand that second hand. Wow! I can't believe that he kept betting. Anyway. Tempering this statement by saying that I normally don't play limit poker, I think you should reevaluate how you played that first hand. I think the raise pre-flop was questionable. Once you had raised...

Ummm......your head just exploded

On rare, wonderful days, everything clicks. You catch everything you need and other players love to get involved in pots where you have the nuts. Perfect bluffs make everyone fold. A semi-bluff flush draw gets a couple callers and you make the hand. I had a night like this Monday night in a 10-20 game...

Re: 3/6 limit K/Qs and...

The correct play over time would be to...? At this point pot is 3.5 BB and call costs you 0.5 BB. Two overcards with back door flush draw give you more than 1:7. So call has positive EV.

Re: Winning percentages vs card odds

If you want to be a good poker player, you have to learn how to calculate different types of odds, most notably pot odds, in your head, not with the help of software. Pot odds, your chances of having the best hand on the end in relation to the size of the pot, should often determine whether or not you...
