Druff, what's your opinion on the whole TLK situation with Dustin and all the other players. Do you think they should release the HH's, do you think he was cheating. In general, what's your take? I don't think I've seen you post on it.


Me personally, I think it looks pretty suspicious....

So I was at Commerce last night playing 400-800. This obnoxious Asian woman, who is a regular in the game, wanted to switch seats from #4 to #6. I was in Seat 5. She tried to slide her chips past me over to Seat 6, but predictably, the stacks fell and it became a huge mess.

Fortunately, I had my chips in a rack. Each rack holds 10k, and I had 3 of them stacked upon one another. Two...

Druff,

Just curious as to what your thoughts are in general about your ability versus Neverwins. Not looking for an answer like...."I think I am better then him...." but more insight into why you had a pretty good year in 2008 online and his at-least according to Tableratings.com was awful. Where do you guys agree and disagree on strategy? Is my assumption correct that Nev...

This just happend - owned the same guy twice in a row too.

6 handed (dunno if that makes a difference) at Iron Duke. I can find the odds of getting the same hand, but not the same EXACT hand, as in, same suits in the hole.


**Edit** Just realised that the gay HH on this site doesnt show much in the way of info - but still you get the idea. Both times is was 2 red 10...

7-2?...Or 3-2?...And is 7-2 the worst hand in Hold em?...Or is 3-2?...

1) Does the ev show from februrary included any pertinent information on limit holdem tourneys?

2) what's the smallest limit tourney you would play in that's worth it to you? I plan on doing the 400 Limit for the tourney this march at fwoods

Assuming a $15k bankroll, what level of live NL MTTs would you say is conservative, given that tournaments have more variance than cash games?

-WTV

Would you be willing to transfer me 500 on pstars for 500 on cake? Obv. I'd transfer to you first so you don't think you're getting screwed. The reason I'm doing this is because I don't have an account transfer thing for their site and don't want to sign up for one because of the fees and I don't have a fax machine available to send my info in for a check. I'm als...

Just finished reading the super crazy fucking shit from Sklansky.

But wondered this...

Are the $24 90 player SNG worth playing as a bankroll builder? If not them then what level?

Cheers

Five or Six years ago, I was a somewhat active online low and middle limit player. I had this thing called a Neteller account, and moving roll between sites and other accounts was a breeze.

Naturally, I donk off my roll eventually and quit the poker for a while. Queue Neteller craziness, UIGEA, and current situation.

I pick up my accounts at two sites I still have access to...

I pulled this one out of another thread, how clear is this river call? Why would he bluffcheckraise that river, does he ever get a better hand to fold? My impression of him is that he definitely could be behind on the river (so I agree with Druff's action), but therefore he always get called (yw doughnutz for me plugging your leaks). Does he ever play A5, 66-99 this way?

PokerStars...

Live $30/$60, full table.

You have Jc9c in the BB. Early position raises, and various CCDs (cold calling donks) call two cold. When it gets back to you, there are 4 people besides you in the hand. You obviously call one bet and see a flop.

Flop:

KsJdTh

Original raiser bets, all 3 CCDs call. Action is last to you. What do you do?...

So im playing a 3-5 NL game at Harveys and get into a situation where I called a bet on the river (with K high, btw) and my opponent just mucked his hand. I calmly pushed my cards with a $1 chip to the dealer and before pushing me the pot, the dealer flipped my hand over and announced "KING HIGH." I didnt get mad because immediately the table was like, "what the fuck? you ca...

Hi. Think this might be my first thread on here. Looking for some advice.

Some background - my friends and I set up a "season" every year where we play 20 or so games and give payouts and points to the top 3 in each game. Its a pretty large group of people. The top 10 point winners go to a final table, and the last 2 are chosen from a "last chance game" which is to...

OK after listening to the 4 part Limit show, (where is the forum for that???? I've looked everywhere, did you say there was an outline????).
I now know that people I thought were F'ing crazy, yet consistent winners, are doing the exact thing you said.
Raise, w/whatever to isolate, then fire until they run into some resistance.


Is there a good defense strategy...

Ok this maybe a dumb question, but I am an absolute noob to playing limit. Druff would you play this different? Would you raise out of the gate with a small pair? Do you think my call on the turn is correct? I think I'm getting the right odds there even if I am behind. Not sure how often people in limit though will make a bluff attempt in that spot though. Obviously I get lucky on the ri...

Assume two things

1. You are the best player at the table, therefore the person who made the raise preflop is worse than you.

2. The player is your average decent 10/20 LHE player. Nothing too fancy, not too tight.

3. It's 6 handed.



You have K2o in the BB, do you call the raise or fold?

How about Q4 - 7?...

I'm sure it's happened to you, you go on long streaks where all you do is fucking bubble. I do it almost every fucking tournament. You saw it yourself first hand, I play 2 days in the mixed hold'em tournament only to get fucked about 10 from the money.

More recently I've played 3 Oklahoms State Championships events this week and I have finished 1, 2 , and 4 out of...

I have a better ROI live than online, even when only considering cash games online. Is that reasonable? Why is this? What can I do about it?

I'm still working on my limit game. Its coming along very slowly.
