Re: Nuts flush draw. Check, call or raise ?

In the second situation, if the flush card hits the turn and you check with the hopes of a CR, it's likely everyone else will check behind you in fear of the flush, costing you one or more bets. You might as well bet the turn. Someone (or more than one) will call, particularly those with outs against...

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...

Some fun hands!

Well the internet connection is back at my lunch time break spot so I've been playing a little over my breaks again. Downside is some personal circumstances resulted in me withdrawing about as much of my BR as I could. It left me with about $19 and some change on one site. Well I played a $5/$1 yesterday...

Re: Getting killed on Paradise Poker ...

LMAO! Wow Kram! Does PokerPlaya have you pegged or what? In regards to not being able to beat the low limit tables at Paradise I suggest you try a different site and see if your success/failure is any different. Paradise is a more mature site and the games might be just a tad tougher. The players might...

Re: Loose Low Limit Game

Mully, I try to do the following things in a loose game. 1. Relax my starting requirements, try to see flops for cheap. I won't raise w/ small pairs if there are 6-7 players already in the hand. I'm not saying play every Ace or every hand in these games. Drawing hands will play better in these...

Re: Loose Low Limit Game

Mully, Having read HFAP numerous times and having tried numerous approaches I think I can sum up what he means. I tend to be a tighter player, and I used to tighten up when everyone else was loose. But by loosening up and outplaying your opponents after the flop you will lose a lot of small bets from...

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

I don't think there's a big flashing right answer on this one. I'd fold in general unless I have something else to go on. I don't think you can assume your hand is good right now, and I don't think you're guaranteed it's good if you hit. Let the BB have the crap flop and if...

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...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

Thank you for responses. Couple of points here: While I do not think my both calls were right ones I would not say they are horrible by all means. You may argue with that, but I'll dare to put some statistick: I use Pokertracker for more than year playing $5/10 thru $15/30 shorthanded. Today I spent...

Re: Won the pot because misscounted the outs.

3 players behind you on flop- with the UTG betting into you... my hand would be in the muck right here. TURN PLAY: "UTG bets again. Well, at this point I computed 9 outs(3 aces,4 fives and 2 douces), neither of them give me nuts, but each of them will make me a winner with large probablility. I...
